OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
•The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work and the
electricity supply voltage indicator is not illuminated. Check that your house
electricity supply installations are in order. Check that the plug is correctly inserted into
the electricity supply socket.
•The noise has become louder. Check that the appliance is standing stable on a level
place. To make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any
furniture and that no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance
body is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check
that the cause of increased noise isn’t due to bottles, cans or dishes in the appliance that
might be touching each other.
•When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out. The
gasket is smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the
groove for it with warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry.
Put the rubber sealing gasket back into the place.
•The temperature rise indicator light is illuminated red. This means the appliance
is being connected to the electricity supply for the first time or it was disconnected for a
significant period (for thawing or during an interruption to the electricity supply), the
freezer door is not closed or is being frequently opened and closed, or a large amount of
fresh food has been put in, and therefore the temperature in the compartment has risen
above -9 ºC. When the temperature in the compartment again falls below -9 ºC, the
indicator light will go out.
ATTENTION! If the temperature indicator light does not go out (for reasons other than
those listed above) for longer than six hours, the compressor is either working constantly
or is not functioning. You need to consult service people.
•High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short.
Ascertain whether the appliance door are shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept
open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs or whether a large
amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.
•The top of the appliance has condensation on it. The ambient relative air
humidity is above 70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands and if
possible remove the cause of the humidity.
R em a r ks o n t h e a p pl i a nc e o p e ra t i ng n oi s e . As the appliance
operates and goes through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is
normal and is not a sign of any malfunction.
•As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes sounds like
murmuring, bubbling, or rustling. Louder sounds like popping or clicking may be heard
for a short time as the refrigerator’s compressor switches on.
