Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a suit
-
ably qualified and competent person
in accordance with local and na
-
tional safety regulations. Unauthor
-
ised repairs could be dangerous.
The following can be corrected without
contacting the Miele Service Depart
-
ment:
What to do if . . .
. . . strange noises can be heard after
switching on the appliance, espe-
cially after it has just been installed.
^ Check to see whether any pieces of
furniture next to the appliance are vi-
brating whilst the appliance is in op-
eration.
Switch the appliance off then:
^ Check whether the appliance is
aligned correctly.
^
Check whether all parts at the rear of
the appliance are free from hin
-
drance. Remove any hindrance.
^
Check whether the cable clips were
unclipped from the back of the appli
-
ance before installation. They could
vibrate when the appliance is operat
-
ing.
^
Are all removable parts securely lo
-
cated in the appliance?
Remember that the noise of the com
-
pressor and the coolant circulating in
the system is unavoidable.
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^
Make sure the temperature selector is
not set at "0".
^
Check that the plug is correctly in
-
serted 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 pre-
venting the door from opening. Wait a
few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.
. . . the temperature is too low.
^ Turn the temperature dial to a setting
closer to "0".
^
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 appli
-
ance has become too dusty.
^
Has the door been opened too fre
-
quently, or large amounts of fresh
food have been put in at once for
freezing.
