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

SuperFrost is activated.

→

The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the

u

food. This is normal.

The inverter regularly flashes every 15 seconds*.

The inverter is equipped with a diagnostic LED.

The door of the appliance is not properly closed.

→

Close the door of the appliance.

u

Insufficient ventilation.

→

Clear ventilation grilles.
