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 that current is not supplied to
the appliance until maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department.
What to do if...
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^ Make sure that the temperature dial
is not set at "0".
^
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 temperature in the refrigerator
is too low.
^
Turn the temperature dial to a lower
setting.
^
Super cool has not switched itself off.
Super cool only switches itself off
after 6 hours.
^
Check that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly.
^
Has a large amount of fresh food
been frozen at the same time?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the refrigerator section to fall
automatically. For this reason, no
more than 2 kg of fresh food should
be frozen at one time.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether ventilation gaps in the
plinth and in the housing unit at the
top have been covered over or
become too dusty.
^ The refrigerator and freezer
compartment doors have been
opened too frequently, or a large
amount of fresh food has been
placed inside and/or frozen at the
same time.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^
Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer
compartment. If it has, then the
freezer will need defrosting.
. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer compartment is
too warm.
^
Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
If so, raise the temperature of the
room.
