Ensure that no cleaning water is allowed to penetrate into

Then connect/switch on the appliance, switch on Fast Freeze
and start to insert the food to be frozen as the temperature
drops.
If the appliance is to be
left switched off for any length of time
empty the appliance, disconnect from the mains, clean as described
above and leave the door open so as to avoid odours.
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span
and reliable operation.
If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check
whether it is due to an operating error. Please note that during
the warranty period the resultant servicing costs in this case will
have to be borne by the owner.
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the
possible causes yourself:
Malfunction
- Possible cause and remedy
Appliance does not work, the display is off
- Is the appliance switched on properly?
- Is the mains plug properly inserted in the socket?
- Is the socket fuse intact?
Loud running noise
- Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the com
-
pressor cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate?
If necessary, move the appliance slightly, align by adjusting the
adjustable feet, or move bottles and containers apart.
- Burbling noises are normal.
These are caused by the
refrigerant flowing round the refrigerant circuit
.
A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the re-
frigeration unit (the motor) switches on or off automatically.
Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when
the refrigeration unit switches on. The refrigerating capacity will
increase when the Fast Freeze function is activated, fresh food
has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left
open for a while.
The audible warning signal sounds, the temperature is
not cold enough
- Have you put too much fresh food into the freezer
without
activating Fast Freeze? (See "Fast Freeze")
- Does the door close properly?
- Is the appliance sufficiently well ventilated?
Clear ventilation grilles if necessary.
- Is the ambient temperature too hot?
(See "Safety regulations")
- Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too
long?
- If applicable, wait until the appliance reaches the required
temperature itself.
Troubleshooting
Customer service and type plate
If none of the above causes apply and you cannot
rectify the fault yourself, or if the temperature display
reads "F 0" to "F 5", this means that there is a fault.

of the type plate. This will
help us to provide you with
a faster and more accurate
service. The type plate is
located inside the appliance

Leave the appliance shut
until the customer service
engineer arrives so as to
prevent any further cold
loss.
