Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 What to do if...

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The appliance is noisy.	The appliance is not supported properly.	Check if the appliance stands stable.
Audible or visual alarm is on.	The cabinet has been recently switched on or the temperature is still too high.	Refer to "Door Open Alarm/Indicator" or "High Temperature Alarm/Indicator".
	The temperature in the appliance is too high.	Refer to "Door Open Alarm/Indicator" or "High Temperature Alarm/Indicator".
A square symbol is shown instead of numbers on the temperature display.	Temperature sensor problem.	Contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre (the cooling system will continue to keep food products cold, but temperature adjustment will not be possible).
The lamp does not work.	The lamp is in stand-by mode.	Close and open the door.
	The lamp is defective.	Contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
The compressor operates continually.	Temperature is set incorrectly.	Refer to "Operation"/"Control Panel" chapter.
	Many food products were put in at the same time.	Wait a few hours and then check the temperature again.
	The room temperature is too high.	Refer to climate class chart on the rating plate.
	Food products placed in the appliance were too warm.	Allow food products to cool to room temperature before storing.
	The FROSTMATIC function is switched on.	Refer to "FROSTMATIC function".
The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the FROSTMATIC or after changing the temperature.	This is normal, no error has occurred.	The compressor starts after some time.
Water flows on the floor.	The melting water outlet is not connected to the evaporative tray above the compressor.	Attach the melting water outlet to the evaporative tray.
Temperature cannot be set.	The FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC function is switched on.	Switch off FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC manually, or wait until the function resets automatically to set the temperature. Refer to "FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC function".
DEMO appears on the dis-play.	The appliance is in demonstration mode.	Keep the OK pressed for approximately 10 seconds until a long sound is heard and display shuts off for a short time.
The temperature in the appliance is too low/too high.	The temperature regulator is not set correctly.	Set a higher/ lower temperature.
	The food products temperature is too high.	Let the food products temperature decrease to room temperature before storage.
	The FROSTMATIC function is switched on.	Refer to "FROSTMATIC function".
Side panels of the appliance are warm.	This is a normal state caused by operation of the heat exchanger.	Make sure that there is at least 30 mm of space between each side of the appliance and the surrounding furniture when the ambient temperature exceeds 38°C.
