Please note:
The compressor (also known as the refrigerating motor)
must not operate continuously.
It is controlled by a thermostat which you set on the
temperature dial and switches on automatically when the
set
temperature in
the
switches off automatically when it is reached again.
Noise can be heard in every compressor - refrigerating
system when it
is switched on.
produced when the motor in the compressor is running
and by the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerating
system circuit. These noises are normal and do not
indicate any fault in the functioning of your appliance.
In unheated rooms and in cold weather conditions,
condensation can build up on the outer walls of the
appliance
This does not mean there is a fault and it will disappear
when the temperature increases.
Only call the service department, if after analysis of the
possible fault factors,
you cannot find any cause for the
defect or you are not able to eliminate the fault.
Therefore first check under: what to do when ......"
19 What to do when .................:
a) The appliance does not function (it's not running).
Please check:
Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in the
socket properly?
Is the electricity coming through?
(check this by possibly plugging in a small appliance
such as a hand mixer or hair dryer etc.)
Is the appliance switched on? (Temperature
should not be set to "0").
Is the house installation fuse screwed in and intact, or
reset?
b) The appliance is not getting sufficiently cold
Compressor is running too often
Please check:
Did you make sure that the fridge / freezer was left to
stand for at least 2 houre before switching it on? ( To
stabilise the circulation of the refrigerating fluid ) see:
"starting up".
If no;
Pull
out
the appliance
lift appliance with door closed on to one side for a short
time, or place in an inclined position and then back on its feet. Plug
in again after 2 hours. Do not open the door for ca. 12 hours.
If the door is closing correctly, the door seal is firmly
and uniformly pressed against the casing.
Test: place a sheet or writing paper between the seal and
the casing and close the door.

Call the after-sales service if the paper can be pulled out
without resistance at one or more points.

Instruction for use
Heavy ice formation on the internal walls of the
freezer compartment (see "Cleaning and care")
Is the appliance exposed to direct sunlight or is it
sited too close to a heat source (stove, radiator etc.)
Protect the
appliance
from direct sunlight / check
distance from
heat source / place insulation board
between appliance and heat source. (see "Selecting
installation location")
Is it filled with an excessive quantity of fresh food
Is the aeration and venting ok, is the ventilation grille
covered or is the heat exchanger (condenser) on the
rear outside wall of the appliance laden with dust?
c) The temperature in the fridge compartment is too
low
Set the temperature controller to a lower setting
Check
whether the freezer compartment door is
correctly closed
Has a large amount (more than 1 kg) of fresh food
been frozen? (this will cause the refrigeration unit to
run for a very long time and the temperature in the
fridge compartment will automatically fall)
Has the supercooling function - where fitted - not cut
Out
c)
The frozen
produce defrosts because it is too
warm in the freezer compartment
Has the room temperature for which your appliance is
designed, been
fallen below? (if the room
temperature is too low, the refrigeration unit runs less
frequently. Therefore it can be too warm in the freezer
compartment)
Increase the room temperature.
e) Has a thick coating of ice formed in the freezer
compartment?
Check whether the door of the freezer compartment
closes correctly
If the frozen produce is frozen in place, release
it using a blunt object, e.g. with the handle of a spoon
Allow the freezer compartment to defrost and then
clean it (see chapter Defrosting")
An excessively thick coating of ice reduces the cooling
capacity and the current consumption increases.
f)
The interior light does not function
Check as follows
Is the light contact switch jammed?
If not, then the lamp is defective. Change the lamp as
described in chapter Interior light - changing the
lamp"
g) Appliance is excessively noisy
Check as follows
Is the appliance
standing firmly on the floor,
adjacent items of furniture or objects being caused to
vibrate by the running fridge/freeaer? Ensure that all
parts mounted to the rear wall can vibrate freely;
