Problem solving guide

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.
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 into the socket and switched
on.
^ Check that the fuse is not defective
and the mains fuse has not tripped. If
it has, contact a qualified electrician
or the Miele Service department.
. . . the appliance does not get cool
although the 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 the demo mode (see
"Information for dealers - demo
mode").

. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
section is too low.
^ Select a warmer temperature.
^ The Super cool function is still
switched on. Super cool only
switches itself off after 6 hours.
. . the alarm sounds.
Has the appliance door been open for
longer than 2 minutes?
^ Close the door.
. . . 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 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 compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.
