Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a suit-
ably qualified and competent person
in accordance with local and na-
tional safety regulations. Unauthor-
ised repairs could be dangerous.
The following can be corrected without
contacting the Miele Service Depart-
ment.
What to do if . . .
. . . strange noises can be heard after
switching on the appliance, espe-
cially after it has just been installed.
^
Check to see whether any pieces of
furniture next to the appliance are vi-
brating whilst the appliance is in op-
eration.
Switch the appliance off then:
^
Check whether the appliance is
aligned correctly.
^
Check whether all parts at the rear of
the appliance are free from hin-
drance. Remove any hindrance.
^
Check whether the cable clips have
been unclipped from the back of the
appliance. They could vibrate when
the appliance is operating.
^
Are all removable parts securely lo-
cated in the appliance?
^
Are bottles or containers touching
each other?
Remember that the noise of the com-
pressor and the coolant circulating in
the system is unavoidable.
. . . the refrigerator or freezer section
does not get cool.
^
Check whether the respective section
has been switched on. The tempera-
ture display for that section should be
illuminated.
^
Check that the plug is correctly in-
serted in the socket.
^
Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
blown. If it has contact the Miele Ser-
vice Department.
. . . the door to the freezer section will
not open because it has been opened
and closed too many times in suc-
cession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is pre-
venting the door from opening. Wait a
few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
or freezer section is too low.
^
Set the temperature to a warmer set-
ting.
^
The super freeze or super cool func-
tion has not been switched off. The
respective indicator light is still on.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether ventilation gaps have
been covered over or become too
dusty.
^
Check whether, the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the rear of the appli-
ance has become too dusty.
