Attention!
In the event of problems or of a power failure, the insulation of the appliance walls
provides 10 to 12 hours storage time after the beginning of such failures.
Considerably more time is available in specially insulated appliances. Ask your
dealer what is the suitable "storage time after problems" for your appliance.
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,
shift frozen food into another appliance (possibly neighbor).
b) Appliance not cooling sufficiently Freezing process too long Compressor
operating too often
Possible causes/Remedies:
• Did you have the appliance t stand for at least 2 hours before switching it on?
(Stabilize the refrigerant flow circuit). See: "Start-up".
If not: unplug when the chest is closed, lift the chest for a brief moment and then put
it back down to its original position. After 2 hours put the plug back in. Do not open
the chest during this period and a further 12 hours afterwards, i.e. until the red light
goes off.
• Is the plug in good condition and is it properly plugged into the socket?
• Is the socket under current? (if necessary, test by connecting a small appliance
such as a hand-mixer, etc.).
• The lid of the appliance does not close properly. The seal does not firmly press.
Test: place a piece of writing paper between the seal and the edge of the chest, and
close the lid. It should be difficult to pull out the paper from any side. If you can pull
out the paper without any resistance from one ore more sides, notify your after-sales
service center.
• Heavy ice formation on the inner walls (see "cleaning and maintenance").
• The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or is installed near a heat source (oven,
radiator, etc.)
Protect the appliance against direct sunlight; check the distance to the heat source;
place isolating (see "Installation (Choice of position for installation")
• The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or is installed near a heat source (oven,
