. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer section is too
warm.
^
Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
If so, increase the temperature of the
room.
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long, causing the freezer to
become too warm.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . the door to the freezer section
will not open because it has been
opened and closed too many times in
succession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door
several times in succession is
preventing it from opening. Wait a few
minutes and then try again. It should
now open without force.
. . the alarm sounds.
Has one of the the appliance doors
been open for longer than 60 seconds?
^
Close the door.
. . . The alarm sounds and the
temperature display for the freezer
section and the indicator light for the
alarm off button flash.
The freezer section temperature has
risen above the set temperature
because
^
the freezer section door has been
opened too frequently, or large
amounts of fresh food have been put
in at once for freezing.
^
the ventilation gaps are blocked.
Once the problem has been resolved
the freezer section temperature display
will light up constantly and the alarm
will go off.
. . . the Super freeze indicator light
and the temperature display are both
flashing at the same time.
There is a fault. Call Miele Service.
. . . the interior lighting in the
refrigerator is not working.
^
Was the refrigerator section door left
open for too long? The lighting
switches itself off automatically after
approx. 15 minutes if the door is left
open.
If this is not the case, then the interior
lighting is defective.
^
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains.
