Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some
troubles that in most cases result from improper
handling of the appliance and can easy be
eliminated.
Refrigerator
The Refrigerator Fails to Operate
After Connecting to the Mains Supply
• Check the supply in the outlet socket and make
sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat in
operating position).
Continuous Operation of the
Refrigerating System
• The door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged).
• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of
the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation and wipe off the
condenser).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel
and through the opening to the drain pan on the
compressor, automatic defrosting of the
appliance is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is
increased (3-5 mm), ice should be manually
defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and
leave the door open. Never use electric devices
for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost
layer with sharp objects.
After completed defrosting, turn the knob to
desired position and close the refrigerator door.
The cause of increased ice formation may be one
of the following:
− the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if
it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);
− the door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long;
− the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;
− the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.
Water is Leaking From the
Refrigerator
In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or
the defrost water drips over the channel, water
leaks from the refrigerator.
• Clean the clogged opening, for example with a
plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See
"Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall".

Bulb Replacement

Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the
appliance form the power supply.
Press the cover at the rear side (in the arrow 1
direction) and remove the plastic cover (in the
arrow 2 direction). Replace the bulb with a new
one (E14, max. 10 W).
Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to
organic waste.
Light bulb is consuming good therefore our
in-guarantee service does not relate to it.
