Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are:
–
caused by the electrical motor within the compressor assembly;
during compressor start-up the sound level will be slightly higher
for a limited period of time.
–
caused by the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
The following table lists possible malfunctions and their probable causes and solutions. In the event
of operational problems, check first whether a solution can be found using this table. If the problem
persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact our Customer Service
Department.
