Disposal
• Observe local environmental standards when disposing
packaging material for recycling purposes.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled
bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
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.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they
are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping ( see
Maintenance).
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see
Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
The green POWER indicator light does not illuminate.
• 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 ALARM indicator light is illuminated and the buzzer
sounds at regular intervals.
a)
The temperature in the freezer is too high. Check the quality of
the food products and dispose if necessary.
b) The temperature in the freezer has reached a dangerous level.
The food must be disposed immediately.
The ALARM indicator light is flashing and the buzzer
sounds at regular intervals.
a/b) In both these cases the freezer will maintain a certain
temperature so that the food does not re-freeze.
To restore normal operation bring the TEMPERATURE
CONTROL knob setting to
and turn the appliance on
again.
The buzzer sounds at regular intervals.
• The appliance door has been left open for longer than 2 minutes.
The buzzer will stop sounding when you shut the door.
The ALARM indicator light remains illuminated
constantly.
• The door has been opened too frequently.
• The TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob is not in the correct
position.
The motor runs continuously.
• The SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed: the yellow FAST
FREEZE indicator light is on ( 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 not been installed on a level surface (
see
Installation).
• 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.
The green POWER indicator light is flashing.
• The appliance is not operating correctly. Contact the Technical
Assistance Centre.
