What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^
Make sure that the appliance is
switched on. The temperature display
must be illuminated.
^
Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket.
^
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 door 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 and then try
again. It should now open without
force.
. . . the temperature is too low.
^
Set a higher temperature.
^
The super freeze function has not
been switched off. The indicator light
is still on.
. . . The appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether ventilation gaps have
been covered over or become too
dusty.
^
Check whether, the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the rear of the
appliance has become too dusty.
^
The door has been opened too
frequently, or a large quantity of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^
Check that the door has been
properly closed.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper to carefully
prise it apart.
. . . the alarm sounds and the
temperature display flashes.
^
Has the door been left open for
longer than approx. 60 seconds.
If not the freezer section 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.
