Miele K 9214 If Operating And Installation Instructions

							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.
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until 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.
^Make sure that the temperature dial
is not set at 0.
^
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 temperature in the refrigerator
is too low.
^
Turn the temperature dial to a lower
setting.
^
Super cool has not switched itself off.
Super cool only switches itself off
after 6 hours.^Check that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly.
^Has a large amount of fresh food
been frozen at the same time?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the refrigerator section to fall
automatically. For this reason, no
more than 2 kg of fresh food should
be frozen at one time.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^Check whether ventilation gaps in the
plinth and in the housing unit at the
top have been covered over or
become too dusty.
^The refrigerator and freezer
compartment doors have been
opened too frequently, or a large
amount of fresh food has been
placed inside and/or frozen at the
same time.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^
Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer
compartment. If it has, then the
freezer will need defrosting.
. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer compartment 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
compartment 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.
. . . there is a thick layer of ice in the
freezer compartment.
^Check whether the freezer
compartment door closes properly.
^Defrost and then clean the freezer
compartment.
Too thick a layer of ice reduces
efficiency and increases energy
consumption.
. . . the interior light in the
refrigerator is not working.
Has the refrigerator door been left open
for too long? The lighting switches itself
off automatically after approx. 15
minutes.
If it also does not come on when the
door is opened briefly, but the
temperature display is working, then
the lamp is defective.
^
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains.^Grasp the lamp cover at the top and
at the bottom (1), and pull it forwards
to remove (2).
^Unscrew the lamp. This requires
some strength, as the safety catch
needs to be released.
^Change the lamp.
Lamp specification:
220 - 240 V, E 14 fitting
See the old lamp for the Wattage
required.
^
Screw the new lamp into the
connection. Make sure the safety
catch is correctly fitteda.
^
Replace the lamp cover, and click it
into place at the sides.

							. . . the floor of the refrigerator
section is wet.
The drain hole is blocked.
^Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole.
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 doors 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.

							This appliance must be built in,
otherwise it could tip up.
Location
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room. It should not
be installed where it is exposed to
direct sunlight or directly adjacent to a
heat-producing appliance such as an
oven or a radiator. The room
temperature should not go above or
below the climate range for which the
appliance is designed. The higher the
ambient temperature of the room, the
more energy the appliance requires to
operate.
Climate range
This appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
the appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Climate range Ambient room

T+10 °C to +32 °C
+16 °C to +32 °C
+16 °C to +38 °C
+16 °C to +43 °C
Operating in a room which is too cold
will result in the cooling system
switching off for too long, causing the
internal temperature in the appliance to
rise with the risk of frozen food
deteriorating and going off.
Ventilation
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm. The appliance housing unit must
be constructed to allow sufficient space
for ventilation.
The air inlet to the appliance is via the
plinth in the housing unit.
A ventilation gap of at least 38 mm
depth must be allowed for behind the
appliance for air to circulate.
The cross-sectional area for ventilation
in the plinth and the housing unit and
also beneath the ceiling needs to be at
least 200 cm
2throughout to ensure that
warm air can be drawn through
unhindered. Otherwise the appliance
has to work harder, resulting in an
increase in electricity consumption.
The ventilation gaps must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.

							Before installing the appliance
^Before installation remove the cover
strip, sealing strip and other
