Problem solving guide

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.

Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Some minor problems can be corrected without contacting the Miele Service Department.

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 in the socket and switched on.

^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 appliance is switching in too frequently and for too long.

^Check whether the ventilation gaps have been covered over or become too dusty.

^Check whether the metal grille (heat exchanger) at the back of the appliance has become too dusty.

^Check whether the appliance door is being opened frequently.

^Check that the door has been closed properly.

.. . the alarm sounds and the temperature display flashes.

^Has the appliance been switched on for the first time?

If not, then the temperature inside the appliance is higher or lower than the temperature that has been set. This could be due to:

^the appliance door being opened too often.

^a blocked ventilation gap.

^a lengthy interruption to the power supply.

Once the problem has been resolved the temperature display will light up constantly and the alarm will stop.

.. . a bar is lit up or flashing in the temperature display.

Only temperatures within the range the appliance can display will be shown. If the temperature is not within this range, a bar will be displayed instead.

.. . "F1" or "FU" appears in the temperature display.

There is a fault. Call the Service Department.

.. . you cannot switch the appliance off.

The safety lock has been activated.
