Changing the bulb
If the light does not work, switch off the power at the mains and
unplug. Then make sure that the bulb is screwed firmly into the
socket. Plug in and turn on the fridge. If the light still does not
work, replace the bulb. Purchase a new bulb (E14, max. 15W) from
an electrical store. The old bulb should immediately be dis- posed
of in the proper manner.
Normal operation sounds
In order to maintain a constant product temperature, the motor starts
at regular intervals. It sounds it makes are ordinary opera- tion
sounds, and they will automatically shorten as soon as the product
has reached the desired temperature. These include the following
sounds:
Small errors/disturbances
Errors may occur with the use of the product. Before contacting the
service department, please first check whether you can solve them
using the following instructions:
Hum
Derived from the engine. This hum can sometimes be stronger, just
when the engine starts.
Gurgling sounds or slight hum
Comes from the coolant which circulates in the product.
Click
There is small click each time the electronics card starts or stops the
engine.
Light background noise
If the refrigerator has a fan (depending on model), the air that
circulates inside the product will create a light background noise.
Troubleshooting
When you call, you must specify the product’s full reference
(model, type, serial number).
These numbers are printed on the name plate located on the
product. Placement may vary depending on model.
Unusual sounds
- Check if the product legs are correctly set, and that the
product is stable.
- Check whether the product is touching the wall.
- Check that all movable parts (chests, shelves, etc.) are ar-
ranged as desired.
- Check whether bottles or containers placed in the product are
touching.
The refrigerator is not cold enough
- Check if the temperature is set as described in
“Setting the
temperature”
.
- If you have just placed a large amount of food in the refrig-
erator, make sure to adjust the temperature as shown in
“Setting the temperature”
.
- Make sure not to open the refrigerator door too often or
leave it open.
The refrigerator does not get cold
- Check whether the power to the electronics card is on.
- Check that the product is plugged into the outlet.
- Check if the mains voltage circuit breaker is off, if has the
fuse has blown or has come loose.
If there is frost inside the product
- Make sure not to open the door frequently or leave it open.
The outer sides are hot
- This is normal, as it prevents the misting on the outside of the
product.
Water droplets form on the outside of the product
- If there is no heating on in the house (e.g. during the warmer
months) and the air in the room is slightly damp, some
condensation may occur on the outside of the product. This is
not dangerous, and the product is still functioning properly.
There are small water droplets or frost beads on the prod-
uct’s back wall
- This is normal, as this is a particularly cold and damp place
in the product, where water drops and frost condense during
normal product operation.
It is difficult to open the door
- Slight difficulty opening the door is normal, especially if it
has just been closed, as a small amount of negative pressure
forms to ensure that the door is completely sealed. Wait a few
minutes before re-opening.
The light in the product is off
- Ensure that the power plug is plugged into the outlet.
- Check whether the mains voltage circuit breaker is off, if has the
fuse has blown or has come loose.
- Determine whether the bulb is broken, and see “Replacing
bulbs”.
