▶ Switch on the appliance.

→ The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
▶ Check power plug.
→ The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
▶ Check fuse.

The compressor runs for a long time.

→ 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.
→ SuperCool is activated.
The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the food. This is normal.

A LED on the bottom rear of the appliance (at the compressor) flashes repeatedly every 5 seconds\*.
