Instruction for use Refrigerator

Please note:
The compressor (also known as the refrigerating motor)
must not operate continuously.
It is controlled by a thermostat which you set
on the temperature dial and switches on automatically
when the set temperature in the appliance is
exceeded and switches off automatically when it is
reached again.
Noise can be heard in every compressor - refrigerating
system when it is switched on. These noises
are produced when the motor in the compressor is running
and by the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerating
system circuit. These noises are normal and do
not indicate any fault in the functioning of your appliance.
In unheated rooms
and in cold weather conditions,
condensation can build up on the outer walls of
the appliance This does not mean there is a fault and it
will disappear when the temperature increases.
Only call the service department,
if after analysis of the
possible fault factors, you cannot find any cause for
the defect or you are not able to eliminate the fault.
Therefore first check under:
what to do when ......"
19 What to do when .................:
a) The appliance does not function (it's not running).
Please check:
■ Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in
the socket properly?
■ Is the electricity coming through?
(check this by possibly plugging in a small
appliance such as a hand mixer or hair dryer etc.)
Is the appliance switched on? (Temperature
dial should not be set to "0").
■ Is the house installation fuse screwed in and intact, or
reset?
b) The appliance is not getting sufficiently cold
Compressor is running too often
Please check:
■ Did you make sure that the fridge / freezer was
left to stand for at least 2 houre before switching it
on? ( To stabilise the circulation of the refrigerating
fluid ) see: "starting up".
If no;
Pull out the appliance plug
connector, lift appliance with door closed on to one
side for a short time, or place in an inclined position
and then back on its feet. Plug in again after 2 hours. Do not
open the door for ca. 12 hours.
■ If the door is closing correctly, the door seal is firmly
and uniformly pressed against the casing.
Test: place a sheet or writing paper between the seal and
the casing and close the door. The paper
should be difficuit to pull out on all sides.)
Call the after-sales service if the paper can be pulled out
without resistance at one or more points.
■ Heavy ice formation on the internal walls of the
freezer compartment (see "Cleaning and care")
■ Is the appliance exposed to direct sunlight or is
it sited too close to a heat source (stove, radiator etc.)
Protect the appliance from direct sunlight /
check distance from heat source / place insulation
board between appliance and heat source. (see
"Selecting installation location")
■ Is it filled with an excessive quantity of fresh food
■ Is the aeration and venting ok, is the ventilation grille
covered or is the heat exchanger (condenser) on the
rear outside wall of the appliance laden with dust?
c) The temperature in the fridge compartment is too
low
■ Set the temperature controller to a lower setting
■ Check whether the freezer compartment door is
correctly closed
■ Has a large amount (more than 1 kg) of fresh food
been frozen? (this will cause the refrigeration unit
to run for a very long time and the temperature in the
fridge compartment will automatically fall)
■ Has the supercooling function - where fitted - not cut
Out
c) The frozen produce defrosts because it is
too warm in the freezer compartment
■ Has the room temperature for which your appliance is
designed, been fallen below? (if the room
temperature is too low, the refrigeration unit runs less
frequently. Therefore it can be too warm in the freezer
compartment)
Increase the room temperature.
e) Has a thick coating of ice formed in the
freezer compartment?
■ Check whether the door of the freezer
compartment closes correctly
■ If the frozen produce is frozen in place,
release it using a blunt object, e.g. with the handle
of a spoon
■ Allow the freezer compartment to defrost
and then clean it (see chapter Defrosting")
An excessively thick coating of ice reduces the cooling
capacity and the current consumption increases.
f) The interior light does not function
Check as follows
■ Is the light contact switch jammed?
■ If not, then the lamp is defective. Change the lamp as
described in chapter Interior light - changing the
lamp"
g) Appliance is excessively noisy
Check as follows
■ Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor,
are adjacent items of furniture or objects being caused to
vibrate by the running fridge/freeaer? Ensure that all
parts mounted to the rear wall can vibrate freely;
