PART 9: WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN...
a) The appliance is not working.
Please check the following:
Is the power plug in good condition and properly plugged into the power socket?
Is there electricity fl owing into the power cord? (Check this possibility by connecting a small appliance like
a hand mixer or hair fan, etc.)
Is the appliance turned on? (The temperature selector should not be set to "0".)
Is the mains fuse / circuit breaker in the home turned on or screwed in?
b) The appliance does not cool suffi
ciently. / The compressor turns on too
frequently.
Please check the following:
Did you leave the refrigerator/freezer off for at least 12 hours before turning it on? If not: Pull out the power
plug, with the doors closed tilt the appliance to one side and hold it or place it in a tilted position and then
back to the even position. After a period of 12 hours has passed, turn it on again, for this period of time do
not open the doors.
If the doors close properly, the seal on the doors sits fi rmly and evenly on the frame.
Test
: Place a sheet of paper between the seal and the frame, then close the door. It should be diffi
cult to
pull out this sheet of paper on all sides.
Call an authorised service centre if it is possible to pull out the paper without resistance at one or
more points.
Formation of larger ice layers on the inside walls of the freezer.
Is the appliance exposed to direct sunlight or is it located too close to a heat source (stove, heater, etc.)?
Protect the appliance against direct sunlight / check the distance from the heat source / place a sheet of
insulation between the appliance and the heat source. (See "Placement").
Has the appliance been fi lled with too much fresh food?
Is the air circulation and ventilation in order? Check that the ventilation grill is not covered or that the heat
exchanger (condenser) on the rear side is not covered in dust.
c) The temperature in the refrigerator is too low.
Set the temperature to a lower value.
Check that the freezer section is properly closed.
Was a larger amount of fresh food frozen - more than 1kg? This causes the freezing unit to run longer and
due to this the temperature in the refrigerator automatically goes down.
d) Frozen food is defrosting because the temperature in the freezer is too
high.
Has the room temperature fallen below the temperature for which the appliance is designed? If the room
temperature is too low, the freezer unit runs less frequently. For this reason the temperature in the freezer
section may be higher. Increase the room temperature.
