If something does not work
During operation of the appliance some smaller but
annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require
calling a technician out. In the following chart information
is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on
service.
We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes
with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound).
This is not trouble, but means normal operation.
We draw it to your attention again that the appliance
operates discontinuously, so the stopping of com-
pressor does not mean being no-current. That is why you
must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
