Cause/Remedy
• Drain outlet is clogged, drain water drips past the collection
groove.
• Clean the clogged outlet using plastic straw.
• Thaw thick ice deposits manually (see chapter Defrosting).
•Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, sagged
door, damaged gasket, etc...).
• Excessively long power failure.
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
• If you attempt to open the immediately closed door of the freezer
you may experience resistance. This happens because certain
quantity of cold air escapes from the appliance through the open
door and is replaced by warm ambient air. Cooling of such air
creates negative pressure (vacuum) and suction, which prevents
easy opening of the door. Situation is normalized after a few
minutes (5-10), and you can open the door with ease.
• Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form the
power supply (pull the power cord from the wall socket).
A – Use the screwdriver to press the locking hook (in arrow
direction), and remove the cover.
B – Insert the screwdriver into the cover slot, lift it and remove the
cover.
Replace the bulb with the equivalent new bulb (E 14, same
voltage as the original one) and replace the cover back to its
position.
• Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste.
• Light bulb is consumption material and is not covered by the
warranty!
• If none of the above proves effective and you can not remove
the fault yourself, disconnect the appliance from the mains ( see
chapter regarding the ON/OFF function), pull the power cord from
the wall socket, wait for approximately 10 minutes and reconnect
the appliance.
If the fault persists call the nearest service center and tell them
the information from the rating plate: type of appliance, model and
serial number, located inside the appliance.
