The absence of frost is due to the contin-
uous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.

Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
•
disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-
ance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to pre-
vent the food inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.

WHAT TO DO IF…
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often oc-
cur, which does not require calling a tech-
nician out. In the following chart informa-
tion is given about them to avoid unnec-
essary charges on service.
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (com-
pressor and circulating sound).
This not means a trouble, but a
normal operation.
The appliance operates discontin-
uously, so the stopping of com-
pressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not
touch the electrical parts of the
appliance before breaking the cir-
cuit.
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The compressor op-
erates continually
The Temperature Regula-
tor may be set incorrectly
Set a warmer temperature
The door does not close
tightly or it is not shut
properly
Check if the doors close
well and the gaskets are
undamaged and clean
The door has been
opened too frequently
Do not leave the door open
longer than necessary
Food placed in the appli-
ance was too warm
Allow food to cool to room
temperature before storing
The temperature of the
room that contains the ap-
pliance is too high for effi-
cient operation
Try to reduce the tempera-
ture in the room where the
appliance stands
Water flows at the
back plate of the re-
frigerator
During automatic defrost-
ing, frost melts on the
back plate
It is normal
Water flows into the
refrigerator com-
partment
The outlet can be clogged
up
Clean the outlet
Products placed in can
prevent water from flowing
into the collector
Replace the products so
that they can not touch the
back plate directly
