Decrease the room tem-
perature.

The compressor
does not start imme-
diately after press-
ing the COOLMATIC
or FROSTMATIC
switch, or after
changing the tem-
perature.

This is normal, no error
has occurred.

The compressor starts af-
ter a period of time.

Water flows on the
rear plate of the re-
frigerator.

During the automatic de-
frosting process, frost de-
frosts on the rear plate.

This is correct.

Water flows into the
refrigerator.

collector.

lation in the appliance.

tor is not set correctly.
