. . . the temperature display for the
freezer section shows -18 °C even
though a higher temperature has
been set.
This is not a fault. If the ice cube maker
is switched on and the room
temperature is low (< +18 °C), the
temperature will automatically switch to
-18 °C.
This ensures that the ice cube maker
functions properly.
. . . frozen food is thawing because
the freezer is too warm.
^ Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
If so, raise the temperature of the
room.
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long, causing the freezer to
become too warm.
. . . food has frozen together.
^ Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . the alarm sounds.
Has the appliance door been open for
longer than 5 minutes?
^ Close the appliance door.
Problem solving guide
. . . the alarm sounds and the "Alarm
off" sensor lights up or is flashing.
^ The door is open, or
^ the temperature in the appliance has
risen significantly because
– too much warm air from the room has
entered the appliance,
– large quantities of food have recently
been placed in the freezer,
– there has been a power cut.
The alarm will stop and the "Alarm off"
sensor in the display will go out again
as soon as the temperature has
dropped down to the correct level
again.
The temperature display will show the
highest temperature that was reached
during the time the temperature in the
freezer rose.
Check the condition of the food in the
freezer. If it has defrosted or started to
defrost, check that it is still safe to use
and, if so, use it as soon as possible.
Defrosted food may only be refrozen
after it has been cooked.
. . . the reminder to change the water
filter indicator lights up red.
The water filter will soon need to be
changed.
^ You can order a replacement filter
from your Miele Chartered Agent or
from Miele.
. . . the reminder to change the water
filter indicator flashes red.
^ Replace the water filter.
