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:

→

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

SuperCool 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-

→

Cool 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

A low hum.

The sound is produced by air flow noise of the fan.

→

The sound is normal.

u

Vibratory noise.

The appliance is not standing firmly on the floor. As a result,

→

adjoining units or objects are set into vibration by the
running refrigeration unit.

u

Move the appliance away a little and align it using the
adjustable feet.

u

Move bottles and containers apart.

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.

→

18

Clear ventilation grilles.

u

The ambient temperature is too high.

→

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).
The appliance is too close to a heat source.

→

Solution: (see Putting into operation).

u

The interior light is not on.

The appliance is not switched on.

→

Switch on the appliance.

u

The door was open longer than 15 min.

→

The interior light automatically switches off if the door has

u

been open for about 15 min.
If the interior light is not on but the temperature display is lit,

→

the bulb is faulty.
Change the bulb. (see Maintenance).

9 Disposing of the appliance

The appliance contains some reusable materials
and should be disposed of properly - not simply
with unsorted household refuse. Appliances which
are no longer needed must be disposed of in a
professional and appropriate way, in accordance
with the current local regulations and laws.

When disposing of the appliance, ensure that the refrigeration
circuit is not damaged to prevent uncontrolled escape of the
refrigerant it contains (data on type plate) and oil.

u

Disable the appliance.

u

Pull out the plug.

u

Cut through the connecting cable.
