							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 refrigerator section or freezer
section does not get cold.
^Check whether the relevant section is
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 that the mains fuse has not
tripped. If it has, contact the Miele
Service 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.
^Select a warmer temperature.
^Check that the doors have 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.
^Super cool has not yet switched itself
off.
^Super freeze has not yet switched
itself off.
. . . 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 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.
. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required. In this case,
the motor runs for longer.

							. . . 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.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
off sensor is flashing.
One of the sections 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.
Once the problem has been resolved
and the relevant section has cooled
down sufficiently, the alarm indicator
will go out and the alarm will stop.
. . . bars light up in the temperature
display.
Check the temperature displays about
6 hours after switching on the
appliance. Only temperatures within the
range the appliance can display will be
shown...._F appears in the temperature
display.
There is a fault. Call the Service
Department.
. . . the change the active charcoal
filter indicator is red.
^Replace the active charcoal filters.
You can order replacement filters via
your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts 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
freezer section 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
display will then revert to showing the
actual current temperature in the
freezer section.

The demonstration function is activated.
^Call the Service Department.
. . . you cannot switch the appliance
off.
The safety lock has been activated.
. . . the interior lighting in the
refrigerator section 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 interior
lighting 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.^Unclip the front covera.

							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.

							Do not place any appliance which
gives off heat, such as a toaster or
microwave oven, on top of this
appliance, as this would increase
the appliances energy
consumption.
This appliance must not be installed
directly next to another refrigerator
or freezer.
It does not have side-wall heating,
so installation next to another
refrigerator or freezer could cause a
build-up of condensation between
them.
Further information is available from
your dealer.
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
The 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.

+10°C to +38°C
+10°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. To ensure sufficient ventilation,
the air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way. They
should be dusted on a regular basis.
