→ The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is needed. Although the running time is increased as a result, energy is saved.
This is normal in energy-saving models.
→ SuperFrost is activated.
The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the food. This is normal.

The compressor runs for a long time.

Excessive noise.

→ Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated* compressors can generate different running noises.
▶ The sound is normal.

A bubbling and gurgling noise.

→ This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refrigeration circuit.
▶ The sound is normal.

A quiet clicking noise.

→ The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit (motor) automatically switches on or off.
▶ The sound is normal.

A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on.

→ The refrigeration increases automatically when SuperFrost is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while.

▶ The sound is normal.
→ The ambient temperature is too high.
▶ Solution: (see 1.2 Appliance range of use)

A low hum.

▶ To cancel the display of the warmest temperature: press alarm button Fig. 2 (6).
▶ Check the quality of the food. Do not consume spoiled food. Do not re-freeze thawed food.

DEMO shines in the temperature display.

→ The demo mode is activated.
▶ Please contact the after-sales service (see 6 Maintenance).

The outer surfaces of the appliance are warm\*.

→ The heat of the refrigeration circuit is used to prevent condensate from forming.
This is normal.

The temperature is not cold enough.

→ The door of the appliance is not properly closed.
▶ Close the door of the appliance.
→ Insufficient ventilation.
▶ Keep ventilation grille clear, and clean it.
→ The ambient temperature is too high.
▶ Solution: (see 1.2 Appliance range of use).
→ The appliance was opened too frequently or for too long.
▶ Wait to see whether the appliance reaches the required temperature by itself. If not, please contact the after sales service (see 6 Maintenance).
→ Too much fresh food was placed inside without SuperFrost.
▶ Solution: (see 5.5.5 SuperFrost)
→ The temperature is incorrectly set.
▶ Set the temperature to a colder setting and check after 24 hours.
→ The appliance is too close to a source of heat (stove, heater etc).
▶ Change the position of the appliance or the source of heat.
→ The appliance was not inserted properly into the recess.
▶ Check whether the appliance was inserted correctly and the door closes properly.

8 Decommissioning

8.1 Switching off the appliance

Note

▶ To switch off the entire appliance, only the freezer compartment need be switched off. The refrigerator compartment is automatically switched off at the same time.
The refrigerator compartment can be switched off separately (e.g. during extended periods of absence such as holidays), while the freezer compartment remains in operation.
▶ If the appliance or fridge compartment cannot be switched off, the Child Safety function is still activated (see 5.1 Child proofing).

8.1.1 Switching the whole appliance off via the freezer compartment

▶ Press the freezer compartment On/Off button Fig. 2 (7) for approx. 2 seconds.
▷ A long beep sounds.
▷ The temperature displays are dark.
▷ The appliance (fridge and freezer) is off.

8.1.2 Switch off refrigerator compartment

Note

Before going on holiday, or other prolonged periods of non-use

▶ You can switch the fridge section on/off separately from the freezer section.

▶ Press the refrigerator compartment On/Off button Fig. 2 (1) for approx. 2 seconds.
▷ The fridge temperature display Fig. 2 (8) is dark.
▷ The fridge compartment is switched off.
▷ The freezer section stays on.

8.2 Taking the appliance out of service

▶ Empty the appliance.
▶ Switch off the appliance (see 8 Decommissioning).
▶ Remove mains connector.
▶ Clean the appliance (see 6.2 Cleaning the appliance).
▶ Leave the door open to prevent odour.

9 Disposing of the appliance

The appliance contains some reusable materials and should be disposed of properly - not simply with unsorted household refuse. Appliances which are no longer needed must be disposed of in a professional and appropriate way, in accordance with the current local regulations and laws.

When disposing of the appliance, ensure that the refrigeration circuit is not damaged to prevent uncontrolled escape of the refrigerant it contains (data on type plate) and oil.

▶ Disable the appliance.
▶ Pull out the plug.
▶ Cut through the connecting cable.
