Miele KFN 8992 SD ED - Manual (Page 33)

Repairs to elctrical appliances
should only be carried out by
qualified professionals. Work
performed by unqualified persons
can place the user at considerable
risk of harm.
Certain minor problems can be
corrected without contacting the Miele
Service Department.
What should I do if ... . .
. . . the refrigerator or freezer section
does not get cool?
^ Check that the section is switched
on. The corresponding temperature
display should be lit up.
^ Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket.
^ Check whether the main breaker for
the house wiring system has blown a
fuse. If so, 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 no cause for concern. Repeated
opening and closing of the door can
cause strong suction. Simply wait a few
minutes, then try again. The door
should now open without difficulty.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
or freezer section is too cold?
^ Select a warmer temperature.
^ You may have forgotten to switch off
the super freeze or super cool
function. The corresponding indicator
light will still be on.
. . . the appliance is switching on too
frequently and for too long?
^ Check whether the vents are blocked
or dusty/dirty.
^ Check whether the metal coils (heat
exchanger) at the rear of the
appliance are dusty/dirty.
^ 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 are closing
properly.
. . . food has frozen together?
Use a blunt instrument (such as a
spoon handle) to carefully pry the items
apart.
. . . the alarm signal sounds and the
temperature display for the freezer
section is flashing?
The freezer section temperature has
risen above the set temperature,
because:
^ The freezer door has been opened
too frequently, or a large amount of
fresh food has been put in at once for
freezing.
