∙ Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy
water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
∙ After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh
water before wiping them completely dry. When re-
inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you
have dry hands.
∙ To save energy and to ensure optimum performance, the
compressor (at the rear) should be carefully cleaned at
least twice a year, with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Problem
The appliance is not working at all.
The temperature inside the
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.
∙ The cabinet has been overloaded.
∙ The door is 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 setting is too low
Check the following:
∙ 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:
∙ Sounds of the electric motor of the working compressor.
When the compressor starts to operate, the noise is
slightly louder for a short time.
∙ the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
The following table lists possible malfunctions, 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
Devices marked with this symbol must be
disposed of separately from your household
waste, as they contain valuable materials which
can be recycled. Proper disposal protects the
environment and human health. Your local authority or
retailer can provide information on the matter. Remove the
plug from the wall socket and render the unit unusable by
cutting off the power cord prior to disposal.
∙
The cooling medium Isobutane (R600a) and
the propellant in the isolation Cyclopentane
(C H ) are inflammable substances, thus,
5 10
need to be appropriately disposed of.
∙ Make sure the tubes of the cooling circuit don't get
damaged before the proper disposal.
