Miele Fn 14827 Operating And Installation Instructions

							^Make sureyou treat the side panels
with Miele stainless steel conditioning
agent each time you clean them.
This will protect the surface and help
prevent re-soiling.
Ventilation gaps
^The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
^The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the metal grille,
make sure that the pipework and
other components do not get broken
or damaged in any way.After cleaning
^Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
^Close the appliance door.
^Insert the plug in the socket and
switch on at the mains. Then switch
the appliance back on.
^Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the appliance can cool down
quickly.
^Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required
temperature, place the food back in
the freezer drawers and put them
back in the freezer.
^Switch off the Super freeze function
as soon as the temperature in the
freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder.

							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 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 fuse is not defective
and the mains fuse has not tripped. If
it has there could be a fault with the
household electrical wiring, the
freezer or another electrical
appliance. Contact a qualified
electrician or Miele.
. . . the door will not open because it
has been opened and closed too
many times in succession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is
preventing the door from opening. Wait
a few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.. . . the temperature inside the
appliance is too low.
^Select a warmer temperature.
^The Super freeze function is still
switched on.
. . . 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 fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^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.
. . . the 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.

							. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
off sensor flashes.
The temperature in the freezer is too
warm, because
^the door has been opened too
frequently, or large amounts of fresh
food have been put in at once for
freezing.
^the ventilation gaps are blocked.
^there has been a lengthy interruption
to the power supply.
Once the problem has been resolved
and the temperature has reached the
correct level again, the alarm sensor
will go out and the alarm will stop.
...abarislituporflashing in the
temperature display.
Check the temperature display about
6 hours after switching on the
appliance. Only temperatures within the
range the appliance can display will be
shown.
..._F shows in the temperature
display.
There is a fault. Call the Service
Department.
...dn appears in the temperature
display.
The demonstration function is activated.

Call the Service Department....nA appears in the temperature
display.
The temperature has risen too high at
some point during the last couple of
days because of a power cut.
^Touch the alarm off sensor whilst nA
is lit up in the display.
The temperature display will show the
warmest temperature recorded in the
appliance during the power cut.
Depending on the temperature
displayed, you should check the
condition of 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 re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
The warmest temperature will show in
the display for about 1 minute. The
current temperature in the freezer will
then show in the display again.
. . . you cannot switch the appliance
off.
The safety lock has been activated.

							. . . there is a build-up of frost on the
front panel of the frost-free system.
This is not a fault. Droplets of
condensate have settled on it and
frozen. This may have been caused by
one of the following:
^The appliance door has been
opened frequently or left open for a
while.
^A large quantity of fresh food has
been placed in the appliance at
once.
^There has been an increase in the
humidity in the room.
Keep the door closed as much as
possible so that the Frost Free system
has a chance to melt the ice droplets
automatically.This may take several
days.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . the interior lighting is not
working.
^
Was the door left open for too long?
The lighting switches itself off
automatically after approx. 15
minutes if the door is left open.
If this is not the case, then the LED
lighting is defective.
^
Call the Service Department.
The LED lighting may only be repaired
or replaced by a service technician.
There are live electrical componentsunder the cover. Danger of injury and
damage.
Do not remove the cover. If the
cover is damaged or needs to be
removed due to damage,exercise
caution.There are lasers in the
lighting (laser beam class 1M) which
you should avoid looking at directly.
Do not use optical instruments
(magnifying glass or similar) to look
at the lighting either.
If you still cannot remedy the fault
having followed these suggestions,
please contact the Miele Service
Department.
To prevent unnecessary loss of
temperature it is advisable not to
open the door while waiting for the
appliance to be serviced.

							Electrical connection U.K.
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable and moulded plug ready for
connection to an a.c. single phase
220-240 V 50 Hz supply.
Please ensure that the connection data
quoted on the data plate match the
household mains supply.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible. For extra safety it is
advisable to protect the appliance with
a suitable residual current device
(RCD).
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance must not be connected
to the inverter of an autonomous power
supply, e.g. a solar power system.
When switching the appliance on, a
surge in power could trigger the safety
cut-out mechanism. This could damage
the electronic unit.
The appliance must not be used with
so-called energy saving devices. These
reduce the energy supply to the
appliance which could then become
too warm. Using such devices could
alter the specification of the product.Non-rewireable plugs (BS 1363)
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is
embossed in words in the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of the
plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362 and have the
correct rating. Replacement fuses and
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical supplier.
