Switch Off The Appliance When Not In Use; Trouble Shooting Guide - Brandt UFA1102E Guide D'utilisation

Trouble Shooting Guide

During the service, you can come across some troubles that in
most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and
can easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the
Mains Supply
• Check the voltage in the socket and see if the appliance is
switched on (green signal lamp is on).
Sound alarm, red signal lamp is on
If the temperature within the freezer is too high, it is signaled
by the red signal lamp and the sound alarm, which may be
switched off by pressing the alarm off button (3). When the
lamp goes off the interior of the freezer has again reached the
appropriate temperature.
Another increase of temperature within the freezer is again
signaled both by the red lamp and the sound alarm.
The reasons for this may be the following:
• The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too
long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the
gasket may be polluted or damaged).
• Power supply has been interrupted for a longer period of
time.
• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh
foods.
The alarm sounds, red lamp is off
Excessive dust on the condenser or around the air circulation
openings in the bottom rail may set off the sound alarm. It may
be switched off by pressing the alarm off button (3).
Clean the condenser and the air circulation openings in the
bottom rail (consult the Section Cleaning of the Appliance).
Cooling system is operating continuously
• Continued operation mode is on (yellow lamp is on).
Press the button (2) and switch the continued operation
mode off (yellow lamp goes off).
• Insufficient cooling of compressor and condenser. This is
signaled by the sound alarm.
Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings
and if necessary clean or vacuum the dust from the
condenser. See Section Cleaning and Maintenance.

After cleaning return the appliance to its place, plug in the
mains power cord and fill with food.

Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period of
time, disconnect the power supply, empty the appliance,
defrost it and clean it. Leave the door slightly open.
The Door is Hard to Open
If you want to open the door that has just or recently been
closed, you may find it hard to open. The reason why this
happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into
the appliance and when it is cooling, the underpressure seals
the door. After few minutes (5-10), the door can easily be
opened.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the
cooling system with compressor, which produces noise. How
noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is
used and
how old the appliance is.
• During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid
is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the
refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it
has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the
compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which
does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance
and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
Gradually the noise is reduced.
