7 Malfunctions
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life
span and reliable operation. If a malfunction nonetheless
occurs during operation, check whether it is due to a handling

incurred, even during the warranty period. You may be able to
rectify the following faults yourself:

u
This is normal in energy-saving models.
→
SuperCool is switched on.
u
The compressor runs longer to cool the food quickly. This is
normal.
Excessive noise.
→
Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated* compres-
