Miele Kf 8582 Sded 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.
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
selectors are not pointing to the 0
position.
^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 door to the freezer section 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 in the refrigerator
section or freezer section is too low.
^Turn the temperature selector to a
warmer setting.
^Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^The Super freeze function is still on
and the Super freeze indicator light is
on.
The Super freeze function switches
itself off automatically after approx.
65 hours.
^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.
. . . the appliance 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 doors have been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^
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.

							. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer section 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
section 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 section.
^Check whether the freezer section
door closes properly.
^
Defrost and then clean the freezer
section.
Too thick a layer of ice reduces
efficiency and increases energy
consumption.. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
indicator light flashes.
The temperature in the freezer section
is too warm, because
^a large amount of food has been
frozen at once without switching on
the Super freeze function.
The alarm will stop and the indicator
light will go out when the temperature
has reached the correct level again.
If the alarm and indicator light do not
go out, please call the Service
Department.
^the compressor is faulty. Call the Ser-
vice Department.
Depending on the temperature in the
freezer, you should check the condition
of the food. If food has defrosted or
started to defrost, check that it is still
safe to use, and if so, use it as quickly
as possible. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
. . . the Super freeze indicator light
and one of the temperature display
lights are flashing at the same time.
There is a fault. Call the Service
Department.

							. . . the temperature displays do not
light up.
Check to see if the Super freeze button
indicator light comes on when the
Super freeze button is pressed.
^If this lights up, then the temperature
displays are faulty. Call the Service
Department.
^If the Super freeze indicator light
does not come on either, then check
whether
- the plug is correctly inserted in the
socket.
- the mains fuse has blown. If it has
there is a fault. Call the Service
Department.
. . . the Super freeze indicator light
does not light up, even though the
appliance is working.
The indicator light is defective. Call the
Service Department.
. . . the interior lighting is not
working.
^
Was the refrigerator section door left
open for too long? The lighting
switches itself off automatically after
approx. 15 minutes.
If this is not the case, then the lamp is
defective:
^
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the mains fuse or remove
the screw-out fuse in countries where
this is applicable.^Press the sides of the lamp cover
togethera, disengage the cover and
unclip it at the backb.
^Unscrew the lamp and replace it with
a new one.
Lamp specification:
220 - 240 V, max. 25 W, E 14 fitting.
^
Screw the new lamp into the
connection. Ensure it goes in
correctly and make sure that sealc
makes a tight fit.
^
Replace the cover by clipping it in at
the rear and then pressing it in at the
sides.

							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 (BS 7651 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.
The voltage and frequency are given on
the data plate. Please ensure that these
match the household mains supply. The
fuse rating is quoted on the plug.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible. For extra safety it is
advisable to install a residual current
device (RCD) with a trip current of 30
mA (in accordance with DIN VDE 0664,
VDE 0100, Section 739).
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).
The appliance must not be connected
to an inverter and must not be used
with a plug adapter as these can cause
damage to the appliance’s electronic
unit.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.

gives off heat, such as a toaster or
microwave oven, on top of this
appliance, as this would increase
the appliance’s energy consumption.
This fridge freezer must not be
installed side-by-side next to
another refrigerator or freezer.
Since the appliance is not fitted with
side wall heating, side-by-side
installation next to another
refrigerator or freezer could cause a
build-up of condensation.
