• Is the appliance placed near a heat source?
• Are the ventilation grille and condenser clean?
2. All LEDs flash at the same time.
• Contact the After-Sales Service.
3. The appliance is too noisy.
• Is the appliance perfectly horizontal?
• Is the appliance in contact with other furniture or
objects that may cause vibrations?

appliance?
Note: Gurgling noises from the refrigerating circuit
after the compressor cuts out are perfectly normal.
4. All LEDs are off and the product is not
working.
• Is there a power failure?

in no way affected.
9. The layer of ice on the internal walls of the
appliance is not uniform.
