Symptom
No power to the appliance
The temperature in the appliance is too high
The temperature in the appliance is too low
Excessive frost and ice has built up
The appliance is noisy.
Solution
Check there is power at the socket.
Check there is not a power cut by checking the household lights.
Check the fuse has not blown.
Press the on/off switch (B) for more than a second.
Check the ambient temperature is within the appliances operating limits
of 16 °C to 32 °C.
Check that the thermostat control knob is turned to the correct setting
relative to ambient conditions.
Set the thermostat control knob to a lower position.
Check the door has not been left open.
Check nothing is preventing the door from closing.
Check the door gasket is intact and clean.
Check if the appliance stands stable (all four feet should be on the floor).
Power or operation failure:
In case of power failure during the storage of frozen foods, make sure not to open the freezer door. Once the
power failure is over, the yellow indicator (3) of the quick freeze function will light up and then, 5 hours after
restart, it will automatically go out.
If a short power failure occurs (max. 13 hours) and the product is full, the stored foods will not deteriorate.
Otherwise you must use the stored food as soon as possible (if the temperature of the frozen foods rises,their
storability will be shorter).
When the electronic system fails to detect the ACTUAL temperature, the alarm indicator will start to flash.
The product will continue to operate with the use of a reserve system until the problem is eliminated by the
local service personnel.
