TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Power cut
If the internal temperature of the Fridge/Freezer compartment is -18℃ or less when
the power returns, your food is safe. The food in your Fridge/Freezer will remain
frozen for approximately 16 hours with the door closed. Do not open the
Fridge/Freezer door more than necessary.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the
maximum setting and wait a few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not
working. Contact the local store where your purchase was made.
The Fridge/Freezer is not working
Check if it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not
blown. Plug in another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working. The
Fridge/Freezer should be placed in a well ventilated room with an ambient
temperature of between 16℃ and 38℃. Leave the Fridge/Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Fridge/Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of
moisture. If the problem continues, contact the local store where your purchase was
made.
Gurgling, whooshing
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling
system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases.
This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your Fridge/Freezer.
Humming, purring or pulsating
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the
system.
Moving the Fridge/Freezer
LOCATION
Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, like a cooker, boiler or
radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
LEVELING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front.
