|---|---|
| The lower appliance door cannot be opened. | The Door Assistant Push2Open is switched on; the lower appliance door cannot be opened. This is not a fault. With this refrigeration appliance, only the upper appliance door can be controlled via the Door Assistant. |
| The appliance door cannot be opened when Sabbath Mode ⌂ is switched on. | The Push2Open Door Assistant is switched on at the same time as Sabbath Mode. When Sabbath Mode is switched on, the Door Assistant is deactivated. Pull the appliance door open from below or from the side. |
| The storage life of the food stored in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh zone is reduced. | The temperature in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh zone is possibly too high. The temperature in the dry compartment is controlled by the set temperature in the fridge zone. Lower the temperature in the fridge zone (see "The correct temperature – Setting the temperature”). |
| The warning sounds and the message Freezer temperature too high. Max. temperature °C appears on the display. | The temperature in the appliance has risen significantly. This could be due to, for example: – the appliance door being opened too often, or being left open – a large amount of food being frozen at once – an extended power failure If you find the alarm disruptive, you can switch it off in advance by touching the OK sensor control. The alarm will stop. Rectify the cause of the alarm. The message will disappear from the display and the alarm will stop. The temperature display will show the highest temperature that was reached during the time in which the temperature in the freezer zone rose. ■ Depending on the temperature displayed, you should check whether food in the freezer has started to thaw or has defrosted. If it has, cook it before freezing it again. In the event of a power failure, check whether there are any ice cubes in the ice cube container and dispose of these. Otherwise, the ice cubes will freeze together and can damage the ice cube container when they expand. |

The appliance door has been opened too frequently, causing the compressor to turn on more often and the ice maker has iced up. ■ Only open the appliance door when necessary and for as short a time as possible. The water connection pressure is too low. ■ Check that the water connection is between 29 psi and 116 psi (2 bar and 8 bar). ■ Check if an incorrect valve has been installed, making the pressure too low. Remember that it can take up to 10 hours for the production of ice cubes to commence. |
| The ice maker is only producing small ice cubes. | Several household appliances connected to the plumbed water connection are in operation, which has reduced the amount of water being taken in. ■ Avoid using the dishwasher, washing machine, etc. at the same time.
