6.3 Defrosting the refrigerator
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often oc-
cur, which does not require calling a tech-
nician out. In the following chart informa-
tion is given about them to avoid unnec-
essary charges on service.
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (com-
pressor and circulating sound).
This not means a trouble, but a
normal operation.
Problem
The appliance is
noisy.
The buzzer sounds.
The Alarm icon
flashing.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/dam-
age the plastics used in this appliance.
For this reason it is recommended that
the outer casing of this appliance is only
cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart-
ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a drain hole into a
special container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the de-
frost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to pre-
vent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which
you will find already inserted into the drain
hole.
Possible cause
The appliance is not sup-
ported properly.
The door is not closed
correctly.
The appliance operates discontin-
uously, so the stopping of com-
pressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not
touch the electrical parts of the
appliance before breaking the cir-
cuit.
Solution
Check if the appliance
stands stable (all feet and
wheels should be on the
floor). Refer to "Levelling".
Refer to "Door open alarm".
