Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict compliance with
current local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer will
not be held responsible for damage
or injury arising from unauthorized
work.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department.
What to do if...
. . . the refrigerator section or freezer
section does not get cold?
^ Check whether the appliance is
switched on. The temperature display
must be lit up.
^
Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket.
^
Check that the fuse is not defective
and has not been 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 the door from opening. Wait
a few minutes, 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.
^
SuperFreeze or SuperCool has not
yet switched itself off? The
corresponding indicator light is on,
and SUPER appears in the door
display.
. . . the appliance is kicking on too
frequently and for too long?
^
Check whether the ventilation slits
under the base (plinth) are blocked
or dusty.
^ Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become 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.
. . . food has frozen together?
Use a blunt instrument, e.g., a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to pry it apart
carefully.
. . . light-coloured lines appear in the
door display?
^
The appliance may have been
disconnected from the electricity
supply briefly.
This is not a fault. The light-coloured
lines will disappear after a while.
