as

well

as

liquids,

should

always

be

kept

in

sealed

containers

Troubleshooting

guide

High

quality

manufacturing

processes

and

the

use

of

the

latest

refrigerating

and

freezing

technology

will

basically

ensure

the

trouble

-free

functioning

of

your

appliance.

If

you

suspect

any

fault,

before

contacting

your

nearest

service

department

directly

or

via

your

dealer,

make

sure

you

have

followed

all

instructions

and

advice

given

in

this

user

manual.

Please

note:

The

compressor

(also

known

as

the

refrigerating

motor)

must

not

operate

continuously.

It

is

controlled

by

a

thermostat

which

you

set

on

the

temperature

dial

and

switches

on

automatically

when

the

set

temperature

in

the

appliance

is

exceeded

and

switches

off

automatically

when

it

is

reached

again.

Noise

can

be

heard

in

every

compressor

-

refrigerating

system

when

it

is

switched

on.

These

noises

are

produced

when

the

motor

in

the

compressor

is

running

and

by

the

refrigerant

fl

owing

through

the

refrigerating

system

circuit.

These

noises

are

normal

and

do

not

indicate

any

fault

in

the

functioning

of

your

appliance.

In

unheated

rooms

and

in

cold

weather

conditions,

condensation

can

build

up

on

the

outer

walls

of

the

appliance.

This

does

not

mean

there

is

a

fault

and

it will

disappear

when

the

temperature

increases.

Only

call

the

service

department,

if

after

analysis

of

the

possible

fault

factors,

you

cannot

find

any

cause

for

the

defect

or

you

are

not

able

to

eliminate

the

fault.

Therefore

first

check

under:

.what

to

do

when

What

to

do

when

a)

The

appliance

does

not

function

(it's

not

running).

Please

check:

■

Is

the

plug

in

good

order

and

is

it

plugged

in

the

socket

properly?

■

Is

the

electricity

coming

through?

(check

this

by

possibly

plugging

in

a

small

appliance

such

as

a

hand

mixer

or

hair

dryer

etc.)

■

Is

the

appliance

switched

on?

(Temperature

dial

should

not

be

set

to

"0").

Warning!

In

the

event

of

a

fault

or

of

a

power

failure,

the

insulation

of

the

appliance's

walls

provides

12

to

15

hours

storage

time

for

the

frozen

foods

after

the

beginning

of

such

failures.

Considerably

more

time

is

granted

in

specially

insulated

appliances.

Ask

your

dealer

what

is

the

relevant:

"Storage

time

in

an

emergency."

If

it

takes

longer

to

eliminate

a

problem.

the

frozen

food

in

the

appliance

begins

to

defrost.

Therefore,

take

prompt

action

to

eliminate

the

problem

and,

if

necessary,

move

the

frozen

food

to

another

freezer

(perhaps

to

a

neighbour).

b)

Your

appliance

is

not

cooling

sufficiently.

The

freezing

process

is

taking

too

long.

The

compressor

is

running

too

often.

Please

check:

■

Did

you

make

sure

that

the

fridge

/

freezer

was

left

to

stand

for

at

least

2

hours

before

switching

it

on?

(To

stabilise

the

circulation

door

of

the

freezer

compartment

for

about

4

hours,

or

for

as

long

as

the

red

light

is

on,

so

that

the

temperature

in

the

freezer

can

drop

to

the

necessary

level.

4.

You

can

now

fill

the

freezer

with

any

amount

of

frozen

food

(food

which

has

been

bought

ready

frozen).

The

SUPER

FREEZE

SWITCH

should

be

switched

If

you

want

to

freeze

unfrozen

food,

consult

the

chapter

"Freezing

/

Storing

fresh

food".

Warning!

■

Do

not

store

any

bottled

liquids

in

the

freezer.

Liquids

expand

when

may

explode.

■

Never

keep

explosive

substances

or

aerosol

cans

with

inflammable

propellants

such

as

butane,

propane.

pentane

etc.

in

the

freezer.

Any

escaping

gases

could

be

ignited

by

electrical

components.

Such

aerosol

cans

can

be

recognised

by

the

list

of

contents

or

by

the

inflammable

symbols

printed

on

the

can

itself.

■

When

storing

ready

frozen

food,

you

must

follow

the

manufacturer's

instructions

on

the

food

packaging.

■

Deep

frozen

ice-cream

and

ice

-lollies

must

not

be

eaten

until

a

few

minutes

after

being

taken

from

the

freezer

to

avoid

injury

to

lips

and

tongue

(danger

of

skin

detachment).

For

the

same

reason,

avoid

touching

the

frozen

inside

walls

of

the

Freezing/

Storing

fresh

food

Almost

all

fresh

products

are

suitable

for

freezing

and

storing

in

the

freezer.

For

the

most

common

of

these

products.

a

storage

guide

with

details

of

acceptable

storage

times

and

the

most

suitable

packaging

is

provided.

(see

"Food

of

this

user

manual).

Label

fresh

products

clearly

as

they

are

not

easy

to

identify

when

deep

frozen

in

transparent

freezer

-bags.

We

recommend

using

commercially

available

labels

for

frozen

foods.

Pack

fresh

products

in

portions

suitable

for

your

needs

to

avoid

defrosting

quantities

that

are

too

big

for

you

to

use

up

in

one

day.

Label

the

portions

with

at

least

the

following

information:

■

Product

name

(e.g.

beef

fillet)
