Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable
for unauthorised work.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cold.
^
Check whether the appliance has
been switched on. The temperature
display must be lit up.
^
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
section is too low.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
. . . the appliance 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 door has been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of food
has been put in at once.
^
Check that the door has been closed
properly.
. . . The temperature display is
flashing.
The temperature has risen by several
degrees in the refrigerator section
because
^
large quantities of food which are too
warm have been placed in the
appliance.
^
the door was left open for too long
whilst putting food into the appliance
or rearranging it.
When you finish putting food into the
appliance or rearranging it the
electronics automatically adjust the
temperature to the one last set. A loss
of coldness for a short period will not
affect the food in the appliance.
. . . the following messages show in
the temperature display "
F0
" to "
F5
".
There is a fault. Call the Service
Department.
. . the alarm sounds.
Has the appliance door been open for
longer than 60 seconds?
^
Close the door.
