Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance until maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cold.
^ Check whether the appliance has
been switched on. The temperature
display must be lit up.
^ Check that the plug is correctly
inserted into the socket and switched
on.
^ Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
tripped. If it has, contact the Miele
Service Department.
. . . the door 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 is
preventing it from opening. Wait a few
minutes and then try again. It should
now open without force.
Problem solving guide
. . . the temperature is too low.
^ Select a warmer temperature.
^ The Super freeze function is still
switched on. The Super freeze
function switches itself off
automatically after approx. 65 hours.
. . . the compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps in
the plinth have been covered over or
become dusty.
^ The door has been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^ Check that the door has been closed
properly.
^ Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer. If it
has, then the freezer will need
defrosting.
. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
