The appliance is adapted to operation in the climate
range from the table with technical specification.
The appliance is located in a
sunlit place or near heat sources.
Move the appliance to another place. Observe the

Too much warm food loaded at
a time.
Wait 72 hours until the food becomes cooled and the required
temperature is reached inside the compartment.
The air circulation at the back of
the appliance is obstructed.
Move the appliance min. 10 cm away from the wall.
The door of the refrigerator is
opened too often and/or remains
open for too long.
Reduce the frequency of opening the door and/or shorten the
time when door remains open.

with the closing of the door.
The compressor is switched on
too rarely.
Check whether the ambient temperature is not lower than the
climate class.
Door gasket inserted incorrectly.
Press the gasket in or have it replaced.
The appliance works

Water collects in the lower
parts of the appliance.

furniture and/or other objects.
Place the appliance at a location that ensures proper
clearances around it.
Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the appliance, which do not affect its correct operation.
Sounds, which can be easily prevented:
•
noise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position with the adjustable turn-in front feet. Alternatively, place pads
made of soft material under the rear rollers, especially when the appliance is placed on tiles.
• touching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.
• creaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer or shelf.
• sounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.
Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the thermostat, compressor (switching on) and cooling system
(thermal expansion and contraction of the radiator caused by flow of the cooling agent).
