Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
Malfunctions:
The internal light does not illuminate.
The refrigerator do not cool well.
The food inside the refrigerator is
beginning to freeze.
The PURE WIND fan does not rotate.
The motor runs continuously.
The appliance makes a lot of noise.
The alarm sounds and the lamp
flashes.
The alarm sounds and the set
temperature indicator lights flash
(all of them excluding the Super Cool
indicator light which is turned off).
The back wall of the refrigerator unit
is covered in frost or droplets of
water.
There is water at the bottom of the
refrigerator.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far
enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.
• The door do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
• The door are opened too frequently.
• The set TEMPERATURE indicator light is displaying an incorrect reading.
• The refrigerator have been over-filled.
• The set TEMPERATURE indicator light is displaying an incorrect reading.
• The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator.
• The PURE WIND system is only activated automatically when it becomes
necessary to restore perfect operational conditions inside the refrigerator
compartment.
• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.
• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see Installation).
• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make
noise.
• The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is
off. This is not a defect, it is normal.
• The refrigerator door has been open for more than 2 minutes. The buzzer
will stop sounding when the door is shut.
• The appliance signals that it has heated excessively. We recommend
checking the state of the foodstuffs: they may need to be removed. In this
situation, the product continues functioning as in the normal functioning
mode. The buzzer can be stopped by simply opening and closing the
door. To stop the indicator lights from flashing, it is necessary to turn
off the appliance using the adjustment button (OFF), then use the same
button to switch on the appliance and restore normal functioning at the
desired temperature.
• This shows the appliance is operating normally.
• The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).
