Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance until maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
What to do if...
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^ Check whether the appliance has
been 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 mains fuse has not
tripped. If it has, there could be a
fault with the freezer, the household
electricity supply or another
appliance.
Contact a qualified electrician or the
Miele Service department.
. . . the appliance does not get cool
although the temperature display is
lit up.
Demo mode has been activated. This
allows the appliance to be displayed in
the showroom without the cooling
system being switched on. Do not
activate this setting for domestic use!
^
Deactivate Demo mode (see
"Information for dealers - Demo
mode").
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
is too low.
^
Set the required temperature.
^
The Super cool function is still
switched on. Super cool switches
itself off after 6 to 12 hours.
^
Check that the freezer compartment
door (depending on model) has been
closed properly.
^ Has a large amount of fresh food
been frozen at the same time?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the refrigerator to fall automatically.
For this reason, no more than 2 kg of
fresh food should be frozen at one
time.
. . . the compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether the ventilation gaps in
the plinth have been covered over or
become dusty.
^
The refrigerator and freezer
compartment doors have been
opened too frequently, or a large
amount of fresh food has been
placed inside and/or frozen at the
same time.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
