PROBLEM
Insufficient cooling
power
Not cooling
The appliance leaks
water (only versions
R, R SS and RG)
Very noisy
The compressor does
not shut off
automatically
The above cases are presented merely as examples of possible problems. In the event of any
problem, immediately switch the appliance OFF and contact the dealer.
The following characteristics are normal and do not represent malfunctions:

At regular intervals the temperature indicated on the digital control unit display increases by
4-5 degrees with respect to the set-point and then decreases: this is part of the normal
cooling cycle of any refrigerating appliance. See the detailed explanation in sect. 5.4.

The sound of flowing water. This sound occurs during normal use. It is the sound of the
coolant expanding inside the cooling circuit.

When there is high humidity, condensate on the internal part of the door is normal. Remove
the condensate by wiping it off with a soft cloth.
Requesting spare parts:
To request spare parts, contact the dealer and refer to the part number indicated in
the spare parts drawings at the end of this handbook (Section 11), also indicating the
appliance's model and serial number.
