17 Guarantee
Please note the general guarantee terms and the
guarantee period are stated in the attached guarantee
card.
If the appliance documentation does not include a
guarantee card, please contact your dealer.
18 What is when............
a) No function (appliance not running)
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 neighbour).
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? (stabilise 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 centre.
•
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 filling of food does not correspond with the excess
freezing capacity of your appliance (see rating plate:
XXkg/24h), or you did fill in too warm food
(see:
” Refilling of fresh food”
).
The manufacturer works constantly at the further
development of all products. Please therefore bear this in
mind as the form, set up and technology are subject to
change, without prior notice.
