TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS

• Try not to open the door loo often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.

• Every now and then check if the appliance is sufciently ventilated (adequate air circulation around the appliance).

• Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature etc).

• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. For hot foods, please cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.27

• Frost can accumulate on the inside of the unit and defrost automatically during the compressor cycle.

• The water is led through the outlet opening into the collecting tray above the compressor, where it evaporates.

• Wash the shelves and vegetable compartment in water with detergent and dry the parts before putting them back in the machine. Clean the outside of the unit with a damp cloth.

• The grille of the capacitor on the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be sucked off with a soft brush attachment. Cleaning tips Condensation may form on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off the condensation water. If the problem persists, please contact a qualied technician. Maintenance

• Have the lamps replaced by a specialist.

• When you move the unit, hold it by the sides or on the oor. Do not hold it by the edges of the top.28

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible cause Solution Appliance does not work. Temperature regulation knob is set at number “0”. Set the knob at other number to switch on the appliance. Mains plug is not plugged in or is loose Insert mains plug. Fuse has blown or is defective Check fuse, replace if necessary. The food is too warm. Temperature is not properly adjusted. Please look in the initial Temperature Setting section. Door was open for an extended period. Open the door only as long as necessary. A large quantity of warm food was placed in the appliance within the last 24 hours. Turn the temperature regulation to a colder setting temporarily. The appliance is near a heat source. Please look in the installation location section. Appliance cools too much. Temperature is set too cold. Turn the temperature regulation knob to a warmer setting temporarily. Unusual noises. Appliance is not level. Re-adjust the feet. The appliance is touching the wall or other objects. Move the appliance slightly. A component, e.g. a pipe, on the rear of the appliance is touching another part of the appliance or the wall. If necessary, carefully bend the component out of the way.29
