 Trouble-Shooting Guide

During the service, you can come across some troubles that in
most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and
can easy be eliminated.

The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the
Mains Supply

• 

Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the
appliance is switched on (thermostat knob in operating
position).

Continuous Operation of the Cooling System

• 

The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too
long.

• 

The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the
gasket may be polluted or damaged).

• 

Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh
foods.

• 

The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor
and condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off
the condenser).

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall

As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through
the outlet to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic
defrosting of the appliance is assured. In case the ice
formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm), ice
should be manually defrosted. Set the thermostat knob to

STOP (0)

 position and leave the door open. Never use electric

devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer
with sharp objects. After completed defrosting, turn the knob to
desired position and close the refrigerator door. The cause of
increased ice formation may be one of the following:

− 

the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is
contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);

− 

the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for
too long;

− 

the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;

− 

the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.

Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator

In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost
water drips over the channel, water leaks from the refrigerator.

• 

Clean the clogged outlet, for example with a plastic straw.

• 

Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation
on the Inner Rear Wall".

Noise

Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the
cooling system with compressor, which produces noise. How
noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is
used and how old the appliance is.

• 

During the operation 

of the compressor the noise of liquid

is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the
refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it
has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.

• 

After starting the appliance, 

the operation of the

compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which
does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance
and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
Gradually the noise is reduced.

• 

Sometimes 

unusual and stronger noise 

is heard, which is

rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a
consequence of inadequate placing.

− 

The appliance shall be placed and levelled firmly on
solid base.

− 

It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next
to it.

− 

Check the accesories in the interior of the appliance,
they should be placed correctly in their positions; also
check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might
touch each other and rattle.

Bulb Replacement

Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form
the power supply. Press the cover at the rear side (in the arrow
1 direction) and remove the plastic cover (in the arrow 2
direction). Replace the bulb with a new one (E14, max. 15 W).
Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste.

Light bulb is consuming good therefore our in-guarantee
service does not relate to it.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO INFLUENCE ON THE

OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
