Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long causing the freezer
compartment to become too warm.
...food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . there is a thick layer of ice in the
freezer compartment.
^
Check whether the freezer
compartment door closes properly.
^ Defrost and then clean the freezer
compartment.
Too thick a layer of ice reduces
efficiency and increases energy
consumption.
. . . the interior light in the refrigerator
is not working.
Has the refrigerator door been left open
for too long? The lighting switches itself
off automatically after approx. 15
minutes.
If it also does not come on when the
door is opened briefly, but the
temperature display is working, then
the lamp is defective.
^
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the mains fuse or remove
the screw-out fuse in countries where
this is applicable.
^
Grasp the lamp cover at the top and
at the bottom (1), and pull it forwards
to remove (2).
^
Unscrew the lamp. This requires
some strength, as the safety catch
needs to be released.
^ Change the lamp.
Lamp specification:
220 - 240 V, E 14 fitting
See the old lamp for the Wattage
required.
^
Screw the new lamp into the
connection. Make sure the safety
catch is correctly fitted a.
^
Replace the lamp cover, and click it
into place at the sides.
