Ariston BCB 33 A F (AUS) manual Troubleshooting, Respecting and conserving the environment

Respecting and conserving the environment

•Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources.

•Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.

•Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously.

•Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy.

•Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see Maintenance). A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption.

Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.

The display is completely switched off.

•The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.

The motor does not start.

•The appliance comes with a motor protection control (see Start-up and use).

The display is on but it is dim.

• Pull out and reverse the plug before putting it back in the socket.

The alarm sounds and DOOR OPEN ALARM flashes on the display (“d” is displayed instead of the REFRIGERATOR temperature).

•The refrigerator door has been open for more than two minutes. The sound alert stops when the door is closed or when the appliance is switched off and on again.

The alarm sounds and TEMPERATURE ALARM flashes on the display (“A1” is displayed instead of the FREEZER temperature).

•The temperature inside the freezer is too high. The freezer will maintain a temperature of around 0°C so that the food will not refreeze, allowing you to eat it within 24 hours or to refreeze it after it has been cooked.

To switch off the buzzer, open and close the appliance door

or press the + and – freezer temperature adjustment buttons once. Press these buttons a second time to display the set value on the freezer display, switch off the TEMPERATURE ALARM LED and restore normal operation.

The alarm sounds and temperature alarm flashes on the display (“A2” is displayed instead of the FREEZER temperature).

•The temperature of the freezer is dangerously high: the food inside must not be eaten. The freezer will maintain a temperature of approximately -18°C.

To switch off the buzzer, open and close the appliance door or press the + and – freezer temperature adjustment buttons once. Press these buttons a second time to display the set value on the freezer display, switch off the TEMPERATURE ALARM LED and restore normal operation.

The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool well.

•The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.

•The doors are opened too frequently.

•The temperature that has been set is too high (see Start-up and use).

•	The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.	GB
•	The atmospheric temperature of the area surrounding the

appliance is lower than 14°C.

The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.

•The temperature that has been set is too low (see Start-up and use).

The motor runs continuously.

•The SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed (rapid freezing): the yellow SUPER FREEZE light is on or flashing (see Description).

•The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.

•The outside ambient temperature is very high.

The appliance makes a lot of noise.

•The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make noise.

•The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.

There is water at the bottom of the refrigerator.

• The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).
