What to do if…
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
which does not require calling a technician
out. In the following chart information is given
about them to avoid unnecessary charges on
service.
Important!
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (compressor and
circulating sound). This not means a trouble,
but a normal operation.
Important!
The appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not touch the
electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The compressor operates
continually
The Temperature Regulator may
be set incorrectly

frequently
Do not leave the door open longer
than necessary
Food placed in the appliance was
too warm
Allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing

contains the appliance is too high
for efficient operation
Try to reduce the temperature in
the room where the appliance
stands

plate of the refrigerator
During automatic defrosting, frost
melts on the back plate
It is normal
Water flows into the re-
frigerator compartment

Replace the products so that they
can not touch the back plate di-
rectly

into the evaporative tray above
the compressor
Put the melting water outlet to the
evaporative tray
