Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a suit-
ably qualified and competent per-
son in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unqualified per-
sons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for unauthorised work.
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
operation.
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 hind-
rance. Remove any hindrance.
Check whether the cable clips were
unclipped from the back of the ap-
pliance before installation. They
could vibrate when the appliance is
operating.
Are all removable parts correctly
fitted in the appliance?
Are any bottles or containers un-
stable or knocking against each
other?
Remember that the noise of the com-
pressor and the coolant circulating in
the system is unavoidable.
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
Make sure that the temperature dial
is not pointing to the "0" position.
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, consult the Service
department.
. . . the temperature in the refrig-
erator section is too low.
Turn the temperature dial to a setting
closer to "0".
Check that the freezer section door
has been properly closed.
Has a large amount of fresh food
been put in at the same time for
freezing.
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the refrigerator section to fall auto-
matically. No more than 2 kg of fresh
food should be frozen at one time.
Check whether the winter setting 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.
