Before contacting After-sales Service…

Performanceproblemsoftenresultfromlittle

thingsyoucanfindandfixyourselfwithouttoolsof

anykind.

Noises coming from your appliances are

normal since it has a number of fans and

engines to regulate performances that switch

on and off automatically.

Some of the functional noises can be reduced

through

- Levellingtheapplianceandinstallingitonan

evensurface

- Separatingandavoidingcontactbetweenthe

applianceandfurniture.

- Checkingiftheinternalcomponentsare

correctlyplaced.

- Checkingifbottlesandcontainersarenotin

contactwitheachother.

Some of the functional noises you might hear:

A hissing sound when switching on the

appliance for the first time or after a long

pause.

A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters

into the pipes.

Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start

working.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Forpowerfailureslastingupto24hours.

1. Keepbothdoorsoftheapplianceclosed.This

willallowthestoredfoodtostaycoldaslongas

possible.

Forpowerfailureslastingmorethan24hours.

1. Emptythefreezercompartmentandarrange

thefoodinaportablefreezer.Ifthistype

offreezerisnotavailableand,likewise,no

artificialicepacksareavailable,trytouseup

thefood,whichismoreeasilyperishable.

2. Emptytheicebucket.

A cracking sound when compressor starts

or when ready ice drops into ice box Abrupt

clicks when compressor switches on and off.

Automatic Ice maker noises (on some

models):

- Sinceyourappliancehasanautomaticice

maker,youmayhearbuzzing(fromthewater

valve),tricklingwaterandtheclatteroftheice

fallingintothebucket.

The appliance is not working:

• Isthepowercablepluggedintoalivesocket

withthepropervoltage?

• Haveyoucheckedtheprotectiondevicesand

If there is water in the defrost pan:

• Thisisnormalinhot,dampweather.Thepan

canevenbehalffull.Makesuretheappliance

islevelsothatthewaterdoesnotoverflow.

If the edges of the appliance cabinet, which

come in contact with the door seal, are warm

to the touch:

• Thisisnormalinhotweatherandwhenthe

compressorisrunning.

If the light does not work:

• Haveyoucheckedtheprotectiondevicesand

• Isthepowercablepluggedintoalivesocket

withthepropervoltage?

• Hasthelightbulbburntout?

In the case of burnt-out bulbs:

1. Alwaysunplugtheappliancefromthemains.

2. Seechapter“MaintenanceandCleaning”.

If the motor seems to run too much:

• Isthecondenserfreeofdustandfluff?

• Arethedoorsproperlyclosed?

• Arethedoorsealsproperlyfitted?

• Onhotdaysoriftheroomiswarm,themotor

If the appliance temperature is too high:

• Aretheappliancecontrolscorrectlyset?

• Hasalargeamountoffoodbeenaddedtothe

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated

room far away from any heat source (e.g.

radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not

exposeddirectlytothesun.Ifrequired,usean

insulatingplate.

• To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a

spaceonbothsidesandabovetheappliance.

Thedistancebetweentherearoftheappliance

andthewallbehindtheapplianceshouldbe

50mm.Areductionofthisspacewillincrease

theEnergyconsumptionofproduct.

• Insufficientventilationonbackoftheproduct

increasesenergyconsumptionanddecreases

coolingefficiency.

• The internal temperatures of the appliance

maybeaffectedbytheambienttemperature,

frequencyofdooropening,aswellaslocation

of the appliance.Temperature setting should

takeintoconsiderationthesefactors.

• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down

beforeplacingintheappliance.

• Donotobstructthefanwithfooditems.

• After placing the food check if the door of

compartmentsclosesproperly,especiallythe

freezerdoor.

• Reducetoaminimumdooropening.

• Whenthawingfrozenfood,placetheminthe

refrigerator.Thelowtemperatureofthefrozen

productscoolsthefoodintherefrigerator.

• For appliances with special compartments

(Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degrees

• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator

hasnoimpactontheefficientusageofenergy.

Foodshouldbeplacedontheshelvesinsuch

way to ensure proper air circulation (food

should not touch each other and distance
