Vegetables and other products that are easily frozen have been
placed on a "too cold" shelf. See the chapter "Temperature

There is water on the cooling plate inside
the refrigerator.
This is normal. During automatic defrosting, frost thaws on the
cooling plate.

Clean the water drain and drain hole inside the refrigerator
using e.g. cotton swabs or a bottle cleaner brush.
Some food products could have been placed near the rear of the

Place the drain hose at the back of the cabinet above the drain
bowl. See the chapter "Before using the cabinet the first time".

insulating strip is complete and clean.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal
room temperature.

The cabinet is not switched on.
Power does not reach the cabinet. (Try connecting another
electrical device to the power outlet.)

The refrigerating system will always produce some sounds. A
pulsing sound is heard when coolant is pumped inside the
cooling pipes. A ticking sound from the thermostat can be
heard when the compressor switches on and off. The sound
level varies depending on the operation of the cabinet.
If you feel the sound level is incorrect:
If the cushion spacers (between the cabinet wall and pipes)
come loose, put them back in place again.
Carefully follow the instructions in the chapter "Installing the
cabinet".
