Problem: Cause or remedy:
After connecting to the power
mains, the appliance does not
operate: • Make sure the wall outlet is powered and that the appliance is
plugged in.
Cooling system has been
working continuously for a long
period of time:
• Too high environment temperature.
• Door is open too often or it is left open too long.
• Door is not closed appropriately (there may be dirt between
the door and the refrigerator, the door may be tilted, the seal
should be checked, etc.).
• Too much fresh food was inserted.
• Insuf
fi cient compressor and condenser cooling. Check the air
circulation behind the appliance and clean the condenser.
• Super freeze option is on.
Excessive build-up of ice on the
back wall of refrigerator interior
may result form the following:
• Door is opened to often or it is left open too long.
• Warm food was placed in the refrigerator.
• Food or a container are in contact with the refrigerator interior
back wall.
• Poor door sealing. If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean it or
replace it.
Water is dripping from the
refrigerator: • Blocked water discharge opening; or water from thawed ice is
dripping past the water collection trough.
• Clean the blocked opening, e.g. using a plastic straw.
• If the layer of ice is too thick, defrost the appliance annually
(see “Defrosting the appliance”).
Door won’t open easily: • If you wish to open freezer door immediately or shortly after
closing it, you may feel rather strong resistance. When the
freezer door is opened, some cool air escapes from the
freezer compartment and it is replaced by warm air from the
environment. When this air is cooled, a sub-pressure builds
up, causing resistance to door opening. After a few minutes,
the condition is normalized and the door can be easily opened
again.
Replacing the bulb:
• Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the appliance from the
power mains (unplug the power cord from the wall outlet /
socket). Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the cover, lift it
and remove it. Replace the bulb with a new one (E14, same
power rating as the one provided by the manufacturer) and
replace the cover.
• Do not dispose of the blown bulb with organic waste.
• The bulb is considered a consumable and is excluded from
any warranty!
