Troubleshooting
Before notifying the authorised Service
Centre, please check whether:
The instructions in the section “Operating the
refrigerator” have been followed.
The refrigerator is level.
It is possible to operate the refrigerator with any
available power source.
Failure: The refrigerator does not cool sufciently.
Possible cause
Action you can take
q) Inadequate ventilation to the unit.
a) Check that the ventilation grilles are not covered.
q) Thermostat setting is too low.
a) Set Thermostat to a higher level.
q) The condenser is heavily frosted.
a) Check that the refrigerator door closes properly.
q) Too much warm food has been stored
a) Allow warm food to cool down before storage.
q) Has the appliance only been running for a short period
of time?
a) Check whether the cooling compartment works after
4 – 5 hours.
q) Ambient temperatures too high.
a) Regularly remove ventilation grilles.
Failure: The refrigerator does not cool in gas operation
mode.
i
When ambient temperatures are lower than
+10°C and the refrigerator is exposed to these
temperatures for extended periods of time, an
even regulation of freezer temperature cannot
be guaranteed for system-related reasons.
This can cause the temperature in the freezer
to rise and the stored goods to melt.
Making Ice cubes
Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night, the
refrigerator has less work to do and the unit has more
reserves.
Fill the ice cube tray with drinking water.
Place the ice cube tray in the freezer compartment.
Only use drinking water.
Shutting off the refrigerator
• Press the “MODE” (s.4.3) button to switch off. Keep
button pressed for 3 seconds. The display disappears
and the appliance is fully switched off.
• Release the locking mechanism of the door lock by
pushing it and shift it to the front. If the door is
shut in this position, a small gap is nevertheless kept
open to prevent formation of mildew.
• If the refrigerator is to be taken out of service for an
extended period of time, close the on-board shut-off
valve and the cylinder valve.
Defrosting
• As time goes by, frost builds up on the ns inside
the refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker on one side
may occur and does not represent a malfunction.
When this layer of frost is about 3mm thick, the
refrigerator should be defrosted.
• Switch off the regulator, as described in section
“Shutting off the refrigerator”
• Remove all food and the ice cube tray
• Leave the refrigerator door open to allow air to enter
and prevent formation of mildew.
• After defrosting (freezer compartment and ns free
of frost), wipe both cooling compartments with a
cloth.
Water thawing in the main compartment of the
refrigerator runs into an appropriate container
at the back of the refrigerator. From there the
water evaporates.
The layer of ice must never be removed forcibly,
nor may defrosting be accelerated using a heat
source!
Winter operation
In winter, check that the ventilation grilles and the
exhaust duct system (1) have not been blocked by snow,
leaves, etc.
