TROUBLESHOOTING
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a
long life and reliable operation.

whether it is due to an operating error. Please note
that even during the warranty period, some repair
costs may be your responsibility.
You may be able to correct the following faults by
checking the possible causes yourself:
On energy saving models, this is perfectly normal. When less refrigeration
is required, the VCC compressor switches to a low speed. It will run almost
constantly, but it still saves energy.
The compressor continues
to run for a long time
