Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable
for unauthorised work.
The following can be corrected without
contacting the Miele Service
Department:
^ Make sure that the temperature dial is
not pointing to the "0" position.
^ Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket.
^ Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
blown. If it has, consult the Service
department.
^ Turn the temperature dial to a setting
closer to "0".
^ Check that the freezer section door
has been properly closed.
^ 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 in
the refrigerator section to fall
automatically. No more than 2 kg of
fresh food should be frozen at one
time.

^ Check whether the winter setting is
still on.
^ Check whether ventilation gaps have
been covered over or become too
dusty.
^ Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the rear of the
appliance has become dusty.
^ The refrigerator and freezer section
doors have been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at the same
time for freezing.
^ Check that the doors have been
properly closed.
^ Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer section.
If it has then the freezer section will
need defrosting.
^ Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
Increase the room temperature, or
switch on the winter setting.
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long causing the freezer
section to become too warm.
