If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to a handling error. In this case you will have to be charged for the costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself: Appliance does not work. → The appliance is not switched on. u Switch on the appliance. → The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket. u Check power plug. → The fuse of the wall socket is not in order. u Check fuse. The compressor runs for a long time. → The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is needed. Although the running time is increased as a result, energy is saved. u This is normal in energy-saving models. → SuperCool is activated. u The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the food. This is normal. A LED on the bottom rear of the appliance (at the compressor) flashes regularly every 15 seconds*. → The inverter is equipped with a diagnostic LED. u The flashing is normal. Excessive noise. → Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated* compressors can generate different running noises. u The sound is normal. A bubbling and gurgling noise. → This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refriger- ation circuit. u The sound is normal. A quiet clicking noise. → The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit (motor) automatically switches on or off. u The sound is normal. A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on. → The refrigeration increases automatically when the Super- Cool function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while. u The sound is normal. → The ambient temperature is too high. u Solution: (see 1.2) Vibratory noise. → The appliance is not fixed to the ground. The running of the cooling unit therefore makes objects and adjacent furniture vibrate. u Check installation and reposition appliance as required. u Move bottles and containers apart. The outer surfaces of the appliance are warm*. → The heat of the refrigeration circuit is used to prevent condensate from forming. u This is normal. The temperature is not cold enough. → The door of the appliance is not properly closed. u Close the door of the appliance. → Insufficient ventilation. u Clear ventilation grilles. → The ambient temperature is too high. u Solution: (see 1.2) . → The appliance was opened too frequently or for too long. u Wait to see whether the appliance reaches the required temperature by itself.
