9.5 Identifying and Dealing with Malfunctions .
Your new wine cellar has been designed and built to strict quality standards. This section is intended to
enable you to identify the origin of any malfunctions which may occur before contacting your local
authorised After-Sales Service.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE PROBABLE SOLUTION
Noisy operation - see point “9.4 Operating noises”
The compressor starts up too often or
operates continuously: - compressor and condenser
cooling inadequate:
- rise in outside temperature;
- door opened often or for long
periods;
- check that the rear of the
appliance is properly ventilated as
explained in point “4. installation
and connection” and that the
condenser is not over-dirty;
- try not to open the door too often.
The compressor does not start up: - Switch turned off;
- power supply lead not connected
to the electrical mains;
- mains socket not supplying
electrical power;
- Room temperature too high.
- Press button ;
- connect the cable to the power
supply;
- contact the utility company
Cooling inside the wine cellar
insufficient: - Inside temperature set too high
(meaning reduced cooling effect).
- door opened often or for long
periods.
- Adjust the temperature using keys
or as described in point “7.3
Temperature setting”;
- open the door less often and for
as short a time as possible
Too much condensation forming
inside the wine cellar: - check that the door gaskets are
providing an airtight seal on the
wine cellar;
- door opened often or for long
periods;
- In case of cracks, try to soften the
gasket by pulling it with one hand
and sliding your closed fingers
along the inside;
- open the door less often and for
shorter times, especially when the
appliance is working in warm,
humid conditions;
Water in bottom of wine cellar: - “Condensation drain” opening
blocked
- Clear the drain opening
Door hard to open just after closing: - if you attempt to open a door
again just after closing it,
considerable strength is required.
This is because of the vacuum
caused by cooling of the warm air
that has entered the appliance.
