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”) 
Instruction for use 
„ 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.
