Miele FN 4697 S Operating And Installation Manual page 29

Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with 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 Service
Department.
^ 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.
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is
preventing the door from opening. Wait
a few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.
^ Select a warmer temperature.
^ The Super freeze function is still
switched on. The Super freeze
function switches itself off
automatically after approx. 30 - 60
hours. The indicator light is still on.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
too dusty.
^ Check whether, the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become too 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.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
^ Has the appliance door been open
for longer than 60 seconds?
The freezer temperature has risen
above the temperature set because
^ the door has been opened too
frequently, or large amounts of fresh
food have been put in at once for
freezing.
