Possible causes / Solutions:

• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough

to make contact, or there is no power in the house.

• The appliance comes with a motor protection control (

see Start-up and use).

• Pull out and reverse the plug before putting it back in the socket.

• The refrigerator door has been open for more than two minutes.

The buzzer stops when the door is closed or when the RESET ALARM
button is pressed.

• The temperature inside the freezer is too high.

The freezer will maintain a temperature of around 0°C so that the food will
not refreeze, allowing you to eat it within 24 hours or to refreeze it after it
has been cooked.
To switch off the buzzer, press the RESET ALARM button. Press again to
delete the message on the display, switch off the ALARM LED and restore
normal operation.

• The temperature of the freezer is dangerously high: the food inside must not

be eaten. The freezer will maintain a temperature of approximately 0°C.
To switch off the buzzer, press the RESET ALARM button. Press again to
delete the message on the display, switch off the ALARM LED and restore
normal operation.

• The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
• The doors are opened too frequently.
• The temperature that has been set is too high (

see Start-up and use).

• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.

• The temperature that has been set is too low (

see Start-up and use).

• The SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed (rapid freezing): the yellow

SUPER FREEZE light is on or flashing (

see Description).

• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.
• The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (

see Maintenance).

• The refrigerator door is open.
• The Aircooler system is only activated automatically when it becomes

necessary to restore perfect operational conditions inside the refrigerator
compartment.

• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (

see Installation).

• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make

noise.

• The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is

off. This is not a defect, it is normal.

• Electrical disturbance on the network or brief interruptions of the power supply

• The water discharge hole is blocked (

see Maintenance).
