switched on. These sounds are:
∙ caused by the electrical
motor within the

during compressor
start-up the sound level
will be slightly higher for
a limited period of time.
∙ caused by the cooling
agent fl owing through the circuit.
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

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.
