Cleaning and maintenance

62

Ice present in the freezer compartment:
•  The door is opened and closed too often 

or is kept open for too long.

•  Make sure that the packaging of the 

foods is not trapped between the door 
and the door seal so as not to create a 
gap when the door is closed.

•  Ice was produced using an ice tray 

different to the one supplied with the 
appliance.

•  There are many containers with water or 

liquids present in the freezer 
compartment. The liquids could 
evaporate and turn into ice and settle on 
the walls or parts of the freezer 
compartment or around the air ducts. 
Use a lid to prevent evaporation and the 
formation of ice. Use a dry cloth to 
remove any ice.

•  When the door is opened frequently or if 

it is opened when the humidity around 
the refrigerator is high, the moisture in the 
air may turn into ice or frost on the inside 
wall or parts of the freezer compartment 
or around the air ducts. This is not a 
defect.

Unpleasant odours inside the appliance:
•  Foods with strong odours have not been 

packaged.

The refrigerator is noisy:
•  Make sure that the refrigerator has been 

installed in a stable position.

•  The refrigerator is touching the wall.
•  A gurgling noise that resembles the 

sound of flowing or boiling water is due 
to the coolant in the refrigeration circuit.

•  A cracking sound coming from the 

compartment is caused by the friction of 
the parts due to the change in 
temperature.

The control panel does not respond:
•  The “Child lock” mode has been 

selected.

•  The door of the refrigeration 

compartment is open.

•  You are wearing gloves or your hand is 

in a cast or plaster. Touch the panel 
directly with your fingers.

•  The control panel is wet or dirty.
•  Multiple buttons are being pressed at the 

same time. Touch one button at a time.

The control panel is switched off:
•  Approximately 30 seconds after the end 

of the operations, the LED indicator lights 
turn off (except for the ECO and Dual 
Fan mode LEDs). This is not a 
malfunction.
