Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set
the thermostat knob to the

 STOP (0)

 position, disconnect the

power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the

appliance. Leave the door slightly open.

 Trouble-Shooting Guide

During the service, you can come across some troubles that in

most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and

can easy be eliminated.

The Appliance Fails to Operate After connecting to the Mains
Supply

• 

Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the

appliance is switched on (thermostat in operating position).

Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System

• 

the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too

long;

• 

the door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket

may be polluted or damaged);

• 

perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods;

• 

Insufficient cooling of compressor and condenser.

Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings

and if necessary clean or vacuum the dust from the
condenser. See Section 

Cleaning and Maintenance.

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall

Until the water is drained through the hole in the rear and into

the receptacle at the bottom of the appliance, normal

automatic defrosting of the appliance is guaranteed.

In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-

5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to

 STOP (0)

 position and leave the

door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not

scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects.

After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position

and close the refrigerator door.

The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the

following:

− 

the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is

contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);

− 

the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for

too long;

− 

the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;

− 

the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.

Sound alarm

Excessive dust upon the condenser is signaled by the sound

alarm, audible with each opening of the door, until the fault is

removed.

Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings and

if necessary clean or vacuum the dust from the condenser.
See Section 

Cleaning and Maintenance.

Water drains into the bottom compartment of the
appliance

Water leaks from the refrigerator if the drain hole is clogged, or

if the water drips past the collection gutter.

• 

Clean the clogged opening, for example with a plastic straw.

• 

Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation

on the Inner Back Wall".

Noise

Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the

refrigerating system with compressor, which produces noise.

How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how

it is used and how old the appliance is.

• 

During the operation 

of the compressor the noise of liquid

is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the

refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it

has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.

• 

After starting the appliance, 

the operation of the

compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which

does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance

and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.

Gradually the noise is reduced.

• 

Sometimes 

unusual and stronger noise 

is heard, which is

rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a

consequence of inadequate placing.

− 

The appliance shall be placed and levelled firmly on

solid base.

− 

It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next

to it.

− 

Check the accesories in the interior of the appliance,

they should be placed correctly in their positions; also

check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might

touch each other and rattle.

Bulb Replacement

Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form

the power supply.

Press the cover at the rear side (in the arrow 1 direction) and

remove the plastic cover (in the arrow 2 direction). Replace the

bulb with a new one (E14, max. 15 W).

Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste.

Light bulb is consuming good therefore our in-guarantee
service does not relate to it.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO INFLUENCE ON THE

OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
