Audible alarm + flashing red warning
lamp.
(It is too warm inside the freezer.)
Switch off the audible alarm by pressing the alarm off button.
The audible alarm could have been triggered by:
The cabinet having been recently switched on and the
temperature still being too high. See the chapter "Switching on
and setting the temperature".
The door may have been open for so long that the `door open'
alarm was triggered.
It is too warm inside the freezer.
Set a lower temperature.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.
If warm food products have been put inside the freezer, wait for
a couple of hours and then check the temperature again.
Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate
around them.
It is too cold inside the freezer.
Set a warmer temperature.
Action Freeze could have been switched on.
The temperature display shows the highest temperature inside
the cabinet. Thus a difference between the temperature
indicated on the display and the (average) temperature
measured in another way is normal.
Too much frost and ice are produced.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.
The compressor operates continuously.
Set a warmer temperature.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal
room temperature.
The cabinet does not operate at all.
Cooling or interior light does not
operate. No indicator lamps light.
The cabinet is not switched on.
Power does not reach the cabinet. (Try connecting another
electrical device to the power outlet.)
The fuse has blown.
The power plug is not properly connected.
Power failure
Do not unnecessarily open the cabinet, except when the power
cut seems to be long, in which case the food products should be
moved to another cabinet that works. If the frozen products are
still hard following the power cut, they may be immediately
refrozen. If the food products have thawed but are still fresh,
they may be used, however they should be prepared before
re-freezing or eating them.
Sound level in cabinet is too high.
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:
Make sure the pipes at the back of the cabinet not touch each
other. Carefully bend them if they do.
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".
