Miele KFN 14947 SDE ED Freezer User Manual


 
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 refrigerator section or freezer
section does not get cold.
^ Check whether the relevant section is
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 to the freezer section
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.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
section or freezer section is too low.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^
Has a large amount of fresh food
been put in at the same time for
freezing?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature to
fall automatically.
^
Super cool has not yet switched itself
off.
^ Super freeze has not yet switched
itself off.
. . . the compressor 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 doors have been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.
