dusty.

^ Check whether, the metal grille (heat

exchanger) at the rear of the appli-
ance has become too dusty.

^ The door has been opened too fre-

quently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.

handle or plastic scraper to carefully
prise it apart.

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

^ Has the freezer section door been

open for longer than 60 seconds?

The temperature has risen above the
temperature set because

^ the freezer section 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
the temperature display for the freezer
will light up constantly and the alarm
will go off.

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

Check the temperature displays about
6 hours after switching on the appli-
ance. The display will not show a tem-
perature until the temperature in the ap-
pliance has reached a certain level.

. . . the following messages show in
the temperature display "

F0

" to "

F5

".

There is a fault. Call the Miele Service
Department.

. . . the following message appears in
the temperature display: "nA" .

The freezer section temperature has
risen too high at some point during the
last couple of days because of a power
cut.

^ Press the alarm button whilst "

nA

"

shows in the display.

The temperature display will show the
warmest temperature recorded in the
freezer section during the power cut.

Depending on the temperature dis-
played 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 ac-
tual current temperature in the freezer
section will then show in the display
again.
