∙ To prevent an increased build-up of ice, do not leave
the doors of the unit open for too long when loading or
taking out food.
∙ Frequent de-frosting helps to save energy. For detailed
information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to
the section De-frosting and cleaning.
∙ Do not set a lower-than-necessary temperature. For
detailed information on the temperature settings, please
refer to the section Temperature control.
Problem
The appliance is not
working at all.
The temperature
inside the freezer
compartment is not low
enough.
The normal operating
sound changes or
becomes louder.
Water is collecting on
the bottom of the unit.
Transporting the appliance
To prevent damage to the unit during transport, ensure that
all accessories and components inside and around the
appliance are securely fastened.
The unit must only be transported in its vertical position; do
not tilt any more than 30°.
Once the unit has been positioned, wait for about 30
minutes before it is connected to the mains.
If the unit has been tilted more than 30° during transport,
allow it to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours
before it is connected to the mains.

Possible cause and solution
∙ There is a power failure
∙ The main fuse has blown.
∙ The temperature control is set to '0'.
∙ The fuse in the wall socket (if applicable) has blown. This can be checked by connecting
another electrical device to the socket and checking for function.
∙ Too much food has been stored in the appliance.
∙ The doors are not properly closed.
∙ There is too much dust on the condenser.
∙ Insufficient ventilation: the unit is too close to a wall or other structure or object.
∙ The temperature control is set too low.
∙ Check for proper positioning (uneven floor?).
∙ Are any adjacent objects affected by the running of the cooling unit (i.e. causing them to
vibrate?)
∙ Are there any objects on top of the unit which might be vibrating?
The melt-water drain system is blocked. Remove the blockage and clean the system.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is
switched on. These sounds are:
∙ caused by
the electrical
motor within
the compressor
assembly; during
compressor start-up
the sound level will
be slightly higher for
a limited period of time.
∙ caused by the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
The following table lists possible malfunctions and their
probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational
problems, check first whether a solution can be found using
this table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance
from the mains power and contact our Customer Service
Department.
Disposal
Appliances that are marked with this symbol have
to be disposed of separately from household
rubbish. These appliances contain valuable
resources that can be recycled. A correct waste
disposal protects the environment and the health of those
around you. To get informed about it, either defer to your
municipal administration or the retailer.
∙ Pull the mains plug out of the socket and disconnect it
from the appliance before getting rid of it.
∙
The cooling medium Isobutane (R600a) and
the propellant in the isolation Cyclopentane
(C5H10) are inflammable substances, thus,
need to be appropriately disposed of.
∙ Make sure the tubes of the cooling circuit don't get
damaged before the proper disposal.
