Minor breakdowns which you can repair yourself
Not all breakdowns require attention by the
Technical Service Agent. Often the problem
is insignificant. Before calling the Technical
Service Agent, please try to rectify the fault
using the following guidelines.
Please note that even during the period of
guarantee, you will be required to meet the
Service Agent’s expenses.
In the case of strange noises:
Either the unit is not properly levelled, or
there is a foreign body in the area of the
condensor, meaning that one of the parts in
the back wall of the unit cannot move freely
and is touching the unit or the wall.
-Very carefully, bend this part slightly.
If the doors do not run parallel to the
body of the unit:
Both doors can be adjusted by moving the
support between the two doors, figure {
If none of the control lights come on:
Please check that the electricity is on, that
the plug is properly plugged into in the
socket, and that the unit is switched on.
If the refrigerator compartment light does
not work:
The switch is jammed, figure s/4, check
whether it can be moved. If not, call the
technical service agent.
Fused or faulty bulbs:
To change, remove the case by pressing the
back part downwards (figure }), and
replace the BULB with a new one: 220-240
V, max. 15 W, base E 14.
If the performance reduces:
The vents at the top of the unit or the
ventilation grills at the base are covered.
There is a foreign body between the
refrigerator and the wall.
The door has been opened too often, or a
large quantity of food has been introduced.
There is a layer of ice in the freezer which is
too thick. Defrost the unit! If the red light flashes on and off after a
long period in operation:
Breakdown!
There is too much heat in the freezer
compartment.
The ventilation grill at the top of the unit or
at the base is covered.
The freezer door is not properly closed.
Too much fresh food has been introduced
into the freezer at once (in this case the red
light will go off again after a while).
The condensor is faulty.
If, having followed these guidelines the
breakdown or fault cannot be repaired,
please call the technical service agent.
Do not open the door unnecessarily in order
to avoid the escape of cold air.
Do not carry out any other type of work
yourself, and even less on the electrical
parts of the unit.
Warning:
If, due to a breakdown or a power cut, the
temperature of the unit increases, it is
necessary to check that the food is still
frozen.
Frozen products which have been defrosted
can be re-frozen if the meat or fish has not
been exposed to temperatures of more than
3ºC for more than one day, or three days for
other products.
If this is not the case, and providing the
taste, smell or appearance of the food has
not altered, cook it, or prepare a pre-cooked
dish, and re-freeze it. From now on, the
maximun freezing period does not apply.
