q
Do not install the appliance without assistance.
q
The more R 600a refrigerant there is in the appliance, the
q
larger the room in which the appliance is standing needs to be. In rooms that are too small, a flammable mix of gas and air may be created if there is a leak. According to the EN 378 standard, every 11 g of R 600a refrigerant requires at least 1 m3 space in the room for the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is on the type plate inside the appliance.
Detach the connecting cable from the rear of the appliance,
u
removing the cable holder at the same time because other­wise there will be vibratory noise! Remove all transit supports.
u
The spacers supplied with some appliances must be used to achieve the stated energy consumption. These will extend the depth of the appliance by approx. 35 mm. The appliance is fully functional if the spacers are not used, but does have a slightly higher energy consumption.
In the case of an appliance with
u
enclosed wall spacers, mount the wall spacers on the back of the appliance at the top left and right.
WARNING
Risk of fire due to short circuit! If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of another appliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/ connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations, leading to a short circuit.
Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors
u
or main cables. Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located
u
near the rear of the appliance.
Dispose of packaging material (see 4.5) .

7 Malfunction

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.
Switch on the appliance.
u
The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
Check power plug.
u
The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
Check fuse.
u
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. This is normal in energy-saving models.
u
SuperFrost is activated.
The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the
u
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.
The flashing is normal.
u
Excessive noise.
Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated*
compressors can generate different running noises. The sound is normal.
u
A bubbling and gurgling noise.
This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refriger-
ation circuit. The sound is normal.
u
A quiet clicking noise.
The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit
(motor) automatically switches on or off. The sound is normal.
u
A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on.
The refrigeration increases automatically when the Super-
Frost, function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while. The sound is normal.
u
The ambient temperature is too high.
Solution: (see 1.2)
u
Vibratory noise.
The appliance is not fixed to the ground. The running of the
cooling unit therefore makes objects and adjacent furniture vibrate.
Adjust appliance via the height-adjustable feet.
u
Move bottles and containers apart.
u
The SuperFrost symbol temperature display.
There is a fault.
Please contact the after-sales service (see Maintenance).
u
DEMO shines in the temperature display.
The demo mode is activated.
Please contact the after-sales service (see Maintenance).
u
The outer surfaces of the appliance are warm*.
The heat of the refrigeration circuit is used to prevent
condensate from forming. This is normal.
u
The temperature is not cold enough.
The door of the appliance is not properly closed.
Close the door of the appliance.
u
Insufficient ventilation.
Clear ventilation grilles.
u
The ambient temperature is too high.
Solution: (see 1.2) .
u
The appliance was opened too frequently or for too long.
Wait to see whether the appliance reaches the required
u
temperature by itself. If not, please contact the after sales service (see Maintenance). Too much fresh food was placed inside without SuperFrost.
Solution: (see 5.8)
u
The appliance is too close to a source of heat (stove, heater
etc). Change the position of the appliance or the source of heat.
