Problem solving guide

Repair work to electrical appliances
must only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
Please note that a call-out charge will
be applied for unnecessary service
visits where the problem could have
been rectified as described in these
operating instructions.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cold.
^ Check whether the appliance has
been switched on. If it is switched on,
the access sensor will light up in the
display.
^ Check that the plug is correctly
inserted into the socket and switched
on.
^ The mains fuse has tripped because
the wine conditioner, mains voltage
or another appliance is defective.

. . . the temperature inside the
appliance is too cold.
^ Increase the temperature.
^ Check that the appliance door has
been closed properly.

placed in the appliance at the same
time?

longer, causing the temperature in
the appliance to fall automatically.
. . . the compressor is switching on
too frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps in
the plinth and in the housing unit at
the top have been covered over or
become too dusty.
^ The door has been opened too
frequently, or several bottles of wine
have been put in at once.
^ Check that the appliance door has
been closed properly.
. . . the alarm sounds.
Has the appliance door been open for
longer than 5 minutes?
