en Troubleshooting Fault Cause and troubleshooting The temperature dif- fers greatly from the setting. Different causes are possible. 1. Switch off the appliance. Page 14 2. Switch the appliance back on after five minutes. If the temperature is too warm, check the temper- ature again after a couple of hours. If the temperature is too cold, check the temperat- ure again on the following day. Condensation accu- mulates on the sur- face of the appliance and on the shelves in- side. Page 13 The water contained in warm and humid air condenses on the colder surfaces of the appliance. 1. Wipe away the condensation water with a soft, dry cloth. 2. Open the appliance as briefly as possible. 3.

Fittings wobble or stick. Check the removable fittings and, if required, re- place these. Bottles or containers are touching.
Move the bottles or containers away from each other. Super freezing is switched on. No action required. 14.1 Power failure During a power failure, the temperat- ure in the appliance rises; this re- duces the storage time and the qual- ity of the frozen food. On the website for your appliance, the technical data provides you with the storage times for frozen food in the event of a fault. Notes Open the appliance as little as possible during a power failure and do not place any other food in the appliance. Check the quality of the food im- mediately after a power failure. – Dispose of any frozen food that has defrosted and is hotter than 5 °C. 22
