1.5 Saving energy

Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation
-
openings or grille. Do not place appliance in areas of direct sunlight or next to a
-
stove, heater or similar object. The energy consumption depends on the installation condi-
-
tions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 1.2) . Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
-

Decommissioning
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.
Speed-controlled* compressors may produce varying
running noise due to different speed steps. 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 temperature display indicates: F0 to F5.
There is a fault.
Contact the customer service (see Maintenance).
u
The temperature display indicates power failure . The warmest temperature reached during the power failure appears in the temperature display.
The freezer temperature rose too high over the last hours or
days due to a power failure or power interruption. When the power interruption is over, the appliance will continue to operate in the last temperature setting.
To cancel the display of the warmest temperature: press
u
alarm button Check the quality of the food. Do not consume spoiled food.
u
Do not re-freeze thawed food.
DEMO shines in the temperature display.
The demo mode is activated.
Contact the customer service. (see Maintenance).
u
The outside 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.
Fig. 3 (9)
.
Solution: (see 1.2) .
u
The appliance was opened too frequently or for too long.
Wait until the appliance reaches the required temperature
u
itself. If not, contact the customer service. (see Mainte­nance). Too much fresh food was placed inside without SuperFrost.
Solution: (see 5.7)
u
The temperature is incorrectly set.
Set the temperature to a colder setting and check after 24
u
hours. The appliance is too close to a source of heat (stove, heater
etc). Change the position of the appliance or the source of heat.
u
Dashes ("- -") are indicated in the display.
The freezer temperature has risen above zero degrees due
to power failure or interruption.
