Problem solving guide

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.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^ Check whether the appliance has
been switched on. The temperature
display must be lit up.
^ Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket and switched
on.
^ 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 appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
dusty.
^ Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become too dusty.
^ The appliance door is being opened
frequently.
22
^ Check that the door has been closed
properly.
. . . the alarm sounds and the
temperature display flashes.
The temperature in the interior has risen
higher or fallen lower than the
temperature that has been set. This
could be due to:
^ the appliance door being opened too
often.
^ a blocked ventilation gap.
^ a lengthy interruption to the power
supply.
Once the problem has been resolved
the temperature display will light up
constantly and the alarm will stop.
. . . a bar is lit up or flashing in the
temperature display.
Only temperatures within the range the
appliance can display will be shown. If
the temperature is not within this range,
a bar will be displayed instead.
. . . "F1" appears in the temperature
display.
There is a fault. Call the Miele Service
Department.
. . . you cannot switch the appliance
off.
The safety lock has been activated.
