Minor problems and how to rectify them yourself

Customer service should NOT be
contacted for every fault. Most faults
are minor. Therefore, before you call
customer service, please check whether
you can eliminate the fault yourself based
on the following information.
A technician who is called out to rectify
a minor fault will charge the customer, even
if the appliance is still under guarantee.

If the display, Fig. /4-7, does not
illuminate:
check that the power is ON, that the plug is
correctly inserted in the socket and that the
appliance is switched ON.
2
If "E1" (flashing), Fig. /4, is displayed
while starting the appliance:
A high temperature prevails in the
refrigerator compartment. Several minutes
after the appliance is switched on, the
selected temperature is displayed.
2
If "E2" (flashing), Fig. /7, is displayed
while starting the appliance:
A high temperature prevails in the freezer
compartment. Several minutes after the
appliance is switched on, "AL" is displayed.
The selected temperature is indicated on
display 7 as soon as the freezer
compartment has reached the selected
temperature.
If the refrigerator-compartment light does
not function:
– The light bulb is defective. Pull out
the mains plug and remove the cover
E
(Fig. /A). Replace the defective light bulb
with a light bulb of the same type
(max. 15 W, 230 V, E14 holder).
– The light switch is sticking. Check whether
E
it can be moved (Fig. /B). If not, please
call customer service.

If the display, Fig. /7, flashes but the
acoustic signal is not emitted:
the freezer compartment was too warm due
to a power failure or a fault.

After pressing the "alarm" button, the
warmest temperature which has prevailed in
the freezer compartment is displayed for
5 seconds on display 7 (not flashing).
Afterward, this value is cancelled.
Display 7 then indicates the selected
temperature without flashing.
If flavour, odour and appearance have
changed, make a ready-made meal out of
the food and refreeze.
No longer store the frozen produce for the
max. storage period.
If "AL" (Fig. 2/7) flashes and the warning
signal is emitted after the freezer
compartment has been running for a
prolonged period :
Fault, freezer compartment is too warm !
To switch off the warning signal, press the
"Alarm" Off button 11 .
The warmest temperature reached is then
displayed.
Possible causes of the fault:
– The clearance at the top of the appliance
or in the base is blocked,
– The freezer-compartment door has not
been closed correctly,
– Fresh food was frozen without Fast freeze,
– Too much fresh food was frozen at once,
– High ambient temperature.
When the fault has been rectified, press the
"Alarm" Off button 11 ; "AL" stops
flashing. The selected temperature is
displayed as soon as the freezer
compartment has reached the selected
temperature.
If the freezer section door has been kept
open for a long time and the temperature
inside now no longer reaches the pre-set
level,
so much ice has formed on the evaporator
(source of cold temperature) that it cannot
be defrosted by the fully automatic
defrosting system. In this case take the
frozen goods out of the freezer, wrap them
well to keep them cold and store them
somewhere cool.
Minor problems and how
to rectify them yourself
Switch off the appliance and open the
freezer section door. After about 12 hours
the ice on the cooling system will have
thawed. Switch the appliance on again and
put the frozen goods back inside.
If you are not able to rectify the problem
with the help of the suggestions listed here,
please call Customer Service.
Do not open the door more often than
necessary, so that the cold temperature
inside is retained for as long as possible.
Do not take any further action, especially
with regard to the electrical parts of the
appliance.
