7 Malfunctions
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 a handling
error. In this case you will have to be charged for the costs
incurred, even during the warranty period. You may be able to
rectify the following faults yourself:
Appliance does not work.
→ The appliance is not switched on.
u Switch on the appliance.
→ The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
u Check power plug.
→ The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
u Check fuse.
The compressor runs for a long time.
→ The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is
needed. Although the running time is increased as a result,
energy is saved.
u This is normal in energy-saving models.
→ SuperFrost is activated.
u The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the
food. This is normal.
A LED on the bottom rear of the appliance (at the
compressor) flashes regularly every 15 seconds*.
→ The inverter is equipped with a diagnostic LED.
u The flashing is normal.
Excessive noise.
→ Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated*
compressors can generate different running noises.
u The sound is normal.
A bubbling and gurgling noise.
→ This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refriger-
ation circuit.
u The sound is normal.
A quiet clicking noise.
→ The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit
(motor) automatically switches on or off.
u The sound is normal.
A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration
unit (the motor) switches on.
→ The refrigeration increases automatically when the
SuperFrost, function is activated, fresh food has just been
placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a
while.
u The sound is normal.
→ The ambient temperature is too high.
u Solution: (see 1.2)
Vibratory noise.
→ The appliance is not fixed to the ground. The running of the
cooling unit therefore makes objects and adjacent furniture
vibrate.
u Adjust appliance via the height-adjustable feet.
u Move bottles and containers apart.
The SuperFrost symbol Fig. 3 (5) flashes together with the
temperature display.
→ There is a fault.
u Please contact the after-sales service (see Maintenance).
DEMO shines in the temperature display.
→ The demo mode is activated.
u Please contact the after-sales service (see Maintenance).
The outer surfaces of the appliance are warm*.
→ The heat of the refrigeration circuit is used to prevent
condensate from forming.
u This is normal.
The temperature is not cold enough.
→ The door of the appliance is not properly closed.
u Close the door of the appliance.
→ Insufficient ventilation.
u Clear ventilation grilles.
→ The ambient temperature is too high.
u Solution: (see 1.2) .
→ The appliance was opened too frequently or for too long.
u Wait to see whether the appliance reaches the required
temperature by itself. If not, please contact the after sales
service (see Maintenance).
→ Too much fresh food was placed inside without SuperFrost.
u Solution: (see 5.8)
→ The temperature is incorrectly set.
u Set the temperature to a colder setting and check after 24
hours.
→ The appliance is too close to a source of heat (stove, heater
etc).
u Change the position of the appliance or the source of heat.
8 Decommissioning
8.1 Switching off the appliance
u Press the On/Off button Fig. 3 (1) until the display goes
dark. Release button.
w If the appliance cannot be switched off, the child lock func-
tion is active (see 5.2) .
8.2 Taking the appliance out of service
u Empty the appliance.
u Pull out the power plug.
u Clean the appliance (see 6.2) .
u Leave the door open to prevent odour.
9 Disposing of the appliance
The appliance contains some reusable materials
and should be disposed of properly - not simply
with unsorted household refuse. Appliances which
are no longer needed must be disposed of in a
professional and appropriate way, in accordance
with the current local regulations and laws.
When disposing of the appliance, ensure that the refrigeration
circuit is not damaged to prevent uncontrolled escape of the
refrigerant it contains (data on type plate) and oil.
u Disable the appliance.
u Pull out the plug.
u Cut through the connecting cable.
