or in their own packaging; high proof spirits should be
stored upright and tightly closed.
 Vegetables, fruits, salad can be stored unpacked in the
salad crispers.
 Plastic and aluminium foils, which can be reused, are
suitable for packing food, as are metal or glass containers.
 Hot foods and drinks should always be allowed to cool
down out of the fridge.
Switching the fridge off
If the fridge has to be switched off for a long period, the
temperature dial should be set to „0" and the fridge cleaned
as instructed above.
While the fridge is off, leave the doors open to prevent
odours from building up.

11 Troubleshooting guide

High quality manufacturing processes and the use of the
latest refrigerating and freezing technology will ensure the
trouble-free functioning of your appliance.
If you suspect any fault, before contacting your nearest
service department directly or via your dealer, make sure
you have followed all instructions and advice given in this
user manual.
Please note:
The compressor (also known as the refrigerating motor)
must not operate continuously.
It is controlled by a thermostat, which you set on the
temperature dial and switches on automatically when the set
temperature in the appliance is exceeded and switches off
automatically when it is reached again.
Noise can be heard in every compressor - refrigerating
system when it is switched on. These noises are produced
when the motor in the compressor is running and by the
refrigerant flowing through the refrigerating system circuit.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any fault in the
functioning of your appliance.
In unheated rooms and in cold weather conditions,
condensation can build up on the outer walls of the
appliance.
This does not mean there is a fault and it will disappear
when the temperature increases.
Only call the service department, if after analysis of the
possible fault factors, you cannot find any cause for the
defect or you are not able to eliminate the fault.
Therefore first check under: „what to do when ..."

What to do when...:

a) The appliance does not function (it is not running).
Please check:
 Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in the socket
properly?
 Is the electricity coming through?
 (check this by possibly plugging in a small appliance such
as a hand mixer or hair dryer etc.).
 Is the appliance switched on? (Temperature dial should
not be set to "0").
User manual FRIDGE FREEZER
In the event of a fault or of a power failure, the insulation of
the appliance's walls provides 12 to 15 hours storage time
for the frozen foods after the beginning of such failures.
Considerably more time is granted in specially insulated
appliances. Ask your dealer what is the relevant: "Storage
time in an emergency".
If it takes longer to eliminate a problem, the frozen food in
the appliance begins to defrost. Therefore, take prompt
action to eliminate the problem and, if necessary, move the
frozen food to another freezer (perhaps to a neighbour).
b) Your appliance is not cooling sufficiently.
Please check:
 Did you make sure that the fridge / freezer was left to
 The door does not close tightly and is not sealing
 Test: place a sheet of paper between the seal and the
 If the paper slides out easily on one or more sides, call
 Heavy ice formation on the inside walls of the freezer
 The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or is sited
 Protect the appliance against direct sunlight / check the
 The freezer has been filled up with a quantity of fresh
 Is the ventilation working properly, the ventilation grille
c) Your appliance is excessively noisy.
Please check:
 Is the cabinet standing level and steady, are any nearby

On no account should you undertake any technical
interventions or attempts at repair on your appliance.

The freezing process is taking too long.
The compressor is running too often.
stand for at least 2 hours before switching it on? (To
stabilise the circulation of the refrigerating fluid) see:
"starting up".
If not; unplug your appliance and lift it
with the door closed, for a short while, i.e. tilt it and then
place it back down on its feet again. After 2 hours plug it,
back in. Do not open the door again for about 12 hours
(i.e. until the red light - if provided - has gone off).
