15 Resolving faults on your own
High quality manufacturing processes and use of latest
cooling and freezing technology will principally ensure
trouble-free function of your appliance.
If you suspect any fault, before contacting the after-sales
service directly or via your dealer, make sure you have
observed all instructions and advice in this user manual.
Repairs by the after-sales service, of faults that have
occurred because of non-adherence to the information and
advice given in this manual have to be charged to the
customer and are not covered by your dealer’s guarantee.
Attention
The compressor (also known as motor) must not operate
continuously.
It is controlled by the thermostat which you set with the
temperature control
(FIG.4)
. It switches on automatically
when the set temperature in the storage compartment
exceeds and switches off automatically when the correct
temperature is reached again.
Noise can be heard in every compressor – cooling system
when the compressor is switched on. This noise is
produced when the motor in the compressor operates and
also by refrigerant flowing in the cooling system circuit.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any functional
trouble.
In unheated rooms
and in cold weather condition
condensation can build up on the outer walls of the
appliance. This does not mean trouble and disappears
when the weather becomes warmer.
NOTE
Water condensation on the bottom side of the appliance
could happen if there is poor ventilation in a wet
environment. It's not a fault of the product and it could be
fixed by turning the adjustable feet of the product to the
higher maximum position in order to increase the space
between the bottom surface and the floor.
