Sometimes you may come across a minor problem during the operation of the appliance.
Please refer to the troubleshooting guide below to assist you in identifying some of the possible causes which in
most cases does not require a service call.
Temperature within the appliance is not cool enough:
• Is the temperature setting adequate (see Operation and Control)?
• Does the thermometer indicate correctly?
• Is the ventilation system operating properly?
• Is the appliance located too close to a heat source?
Cooling of the refrigerating and freezing appliances is provided by the cooling system, which incorporates a
compressor and a fan – these devices produce certain noise. The level of noise emitted largely depends on the
location and proper use of the appliance:
• During the operation of the compressor, certain noise of liquid fl ow may be detected, and during idle periods the
circulation of refrigeration liquid is heard. This is a normal condition and has no impact on the life cycle of the
appliance.
• Immediately after starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the fl ow of refrigerant may be
louder than usual. This is not a sign of any malfunction, and has no impact on the life cycle of the appliance.
Gradually the noise will be reduced.
Sometimes unusual and stronger noises may be detected, which are rather unusual for the appliance. Such noises
are often the result of the inappropriate installation:
• The appliance must be perfectly horizontal and installed on a solid fl oor.
• It should not touch the walls or adjacent cupboards.
