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.
What to do if...
. . . the appliance does not get cold.
^ Make sure that the temperature dial
is not set at "0".
^ 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 temperature in the refrigerator
is too low.
^
Turn the temperature dial to a lower
setting.
^
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. No more than 2 kg of
fresh food should be frozen at one
time.
. . . the compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether the ventilation gap at
the bottom of the appliance has 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 put in
at the same time for freezing.
^
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 compartment 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?
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long, causing the freezer
compartment to become too warm.
^
Switch the winter setting on. Press
the rocker switch behind the
temperature selector so that the red
mark on the switch is visible.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
