13 | What to do when | : |
a) The appliance does not function (it's 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"or “ OFF“ ) |
|
| |||
■ Is the house installation | fuse screwed in and intact, or | ||||
reset? |
|
|
|
|
|
b)The appliance is not getting sufficiently cold Compressor is running too often
Please check: |
|
|
|
|
|
| ||
■ | Did you | make | sure that the fridge / | freezer | was | |||
left | to stand for at least | 2 houre before | switching | it | ||||
on? ( To stabilise | the circulation of the refrigerating | |||||||
fluid ) see: "starting up". |
|
|
|
|
| |||
If | no; | Pull | out | the | appliance | plug |
|
|
connector, | lift appliance | with | door closed on | to | one | |||
side for | a short | time, or place in an inclined position |
and then back on its feet. Plug in again after 2 hours. Do not
open the door for | ca. 12 hours. |
■ If the door is | closing correctly, the door seal is firmly |
and uniformly pressed against the casing.
Test: place a sheet or writing paper between the seal and
the casing and close the | door. The paper |
should be difficuit to pull out on all sides.) | |
Call the | paper can be pulled out |
without resistance at one or more points.
■Heavy ice formation on the internal walls of the
| freezer compartment (see "Cleaning and care") |
| ||||||
■ | Is | the appliance | exposed | to | direct sunlight | or is | ||
it | sited too close to a heat source (stove, radiator etc.) | |||||||
Protect | the | appliance from | direct sunlight | / | ||||
check distance | from | heat | source | / place insulation | ||||
board between | appliance and | heat | source. (see |
| ||||
"Selecting installation location") |
|
|
|
|
■Is it filled with an excessive quantity of fresh food
■Is the aeration and venting ok, is the ventilation grille
covered or is the heat exchanger (condenser) on the rear outside wall of the appliance laden with dust?
c) The temperature in the fridge compartment is too low
■Set the temperature controller to a lower setting
■ | Check whether the | freezer compartment door | is | ||||
| correctly closed |
|
|
|
| ||
■ | Has a large amount (more | than 1 kg) of fresh | food |
| |||
| been frozen? | (this will | cause the refrigeration | unit | |||
| to run | for a very long time and the temperature | in the | ||||
| fridge compartment will automatically fall) |
|
| ||||
■ | Has the supercooling | function - where fitted - not cut | |||||
| Out |
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) | The | frozen | produce | defrosts because | it | is | |
| too | warm in the freezer compartment |
|
|
Instruction for use Freezer
■Has the room temperature for which your appliance is
designed, been fallen below? (if the room temperature is too low, the refrigeration unit runs less frequently. Therefore it can be too warm in the freezer compartment)
Increase the room temperature.
e) Has a thick coating of ice formed in the
freezer compartment?
■Check whether the door of the freezer
compartment | closes correctly |
■If the frozen produce is frozen in place,
release | it using a blunt object, e.g. with the handle | |||
of a spoon |
|
|
| |
■ | Allow | the | freezer | compartment to defrost |
and then clean it (see chapter | Defrosting") | |||
An | excessively thick | coating of ice reduces the cooling |
capacity and the current consumption increases.
f) The interior light does not function
Check as follows
■Is the light contact switch jammed?
■If not, then the lamp is defective. Change the lamp as described in chapter Interior light - changing the lamp"
g) Appliance is excessively noisy
Check as follows
■ Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor,
are adjacent | items of furniture or objects being caused to |
vibrate by | the running fridge/freeaer? Ensure that all |
parts mounted to the rear wall can vibrate freely;
■carefully bend aside any contacting parts or increase the distance between the appliance and the obstacle.
■ Are all removable parts correctly seated in the
appliance?
■Are any bottles or containers touching?
Note; Flowing sounds in the refrigerant circuit cannot be avoided.
In no case are any interventions of a | technical nature |
to be made to the appliance or | attempts made |
