Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by an
authorised Miele service technician.
Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
What to do if . . .
. . . the wine conditioning zones or
the freezer section do not get cool.
^
Check whether the relevant zone or
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. There could be a fault with
the appliance, the household
electrical wiring or another electrical
appliance.
Contact a qualified electrician or
Miele.
^
Check the temperature settings.
. . . 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 and then try again. It
should now open without force.
. . . the temperature in the wine
conditioning zones 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 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 compressor or 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.
