Trouble Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some
troubles that in most cases result from improper
handling of the appliance and can easy be
eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate
After Connecting to the Mains
Supply
• Check the supply in the outlet socket and make
sure the appliance is switched on (the green
light is on).
Sound alarm button, The Red Light
is On
• The door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged).
• Power supply has been interrupted for a longer
period of time.
• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods.
To stop the sound alarm press the alarm button
. Red light goes off when the malfunctions are
removed and the temperature within the
appliance reaches the appropriately low level
(depending upon the thermostat setting).
Continuous Operation of the
Cooling System
• Set the operation mode selection switch from
continuous to automatic operation.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of
the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation behind the appliance
and wipe the dust from the condenser).
The Door is Hard to Open
If you want to open the door that has just or
recently been closed, you may find it hard to
open. The reason why this happens is, that when
you open the door, warm air gets into the
appliance and when it is cooling, the
underpressure seals the door. After few minutes
(5-10), the door can easily be opened.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is
enabled by the cooling system with compressor,
which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is
depends on where it is placed, how it is used and
how old the appliance is.
• During the operation of the compressor the
noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow
is heard. This is a normal condition and it has
no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of
the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be
louder, which does not mean that something is
wrong with the appliance and it has no
influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is
heard, which is rather unusual for the
appliance. This noise is often a consequence of
inadequate placing. (The appliance shall be
placed and levelled firmly on solid base and it
should not touch the wall or kitchen units
standing next to it.)
