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. 2 /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.
If "E1" (flashing), Fig. 2 /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.
If "E2" (flashing), Fig. 2 /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 switch on:
- The bulb is defective. Pull out the mains
plug, remove the cover (Fig.B/b), replace
bulb max. 15 W, 220 V, E14 lampholder
(Fig.B/c-d)
- The light switch (Fig.B/a) is sticking.
Check whether it can be moved. If not,
please call customer service.
If the freezer-compartment light does not
switch on:
- The bulb is defective. Pull out the mains
plug, remove the cover (Fig.C/a-b),
replace bulb max. 15 W, 220 V, E14
lampholder (Fig.C/c)
- The light switch is sticking. Check
whether it can be moved. If not, please
call customer service.

If the display, Fig. 2 /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 !
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
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.
