Compressor
The compressor is managed by the power module and switches on whenever a demand for cooling is
received.
There are situations of cooling demand in which the compressor remains off. These are as follows:
1. Compressor protection: the compressor switches on once a minimum safety time lag has elapsed
since the last power-off, thereby allowing the refrigerant gas pressure to reach a point of equilibrium
in the refrigerant circuit. The same minimum safety time is observed in the event of a mains power
interruption (voluntary or involuntary). This compressor protection strategy is observed only after
the product has been operating continuously for the number of hours defined in the module
memory.
2. Long periods of activity: if the compressor remains on for more than a value set in module
memory it is switched off, even in the presence of a cooling demand.
3. Pause after defrost: at the end of the defrost cycle the compressor observes a protection time
parameterised in the module memory so that the water formed during the defrost can be completely
drained.
ALARM CONDITIONS
* Fridge Interior Lamp also Flashes.
** Plus Bleeping - Open/Close the fridge door to cancel audible bleeping.
*** In these situations the freezer will try to maintain 0°C so food will not refreeze. (Refer the User to
the Troubleshooting page in their user book ~ it explains what action to take with the defrosted
food.)
To restore the 'FREEZER WARM' Alarm condition back to normal operation, turn the freezer knob OFF
then ON again.
