allow the air to circulate thus avoiding unpleasant odors.
Before calling for service please check the following.
THE APPLIANCE IS NOT WORKING.
• Check the plug is inserted correctly into the mains socket.
• Check there is power to the mains socket by plugging another appliance in, if the
other appliance don’t works either, check the fuse in the plug.
THE APPLIANCE IS NOISY WHEN OPERATING.
• Check the appliance is level and it is not in contact with another appliance or
kitchen furniture.
THE APPLIANCE DOES NOT COOL SUFFICIENTLY.
• If the door has been opened too often or it has been left open for a while it will
take time for the appliance to reach its set temperature.
• Check the airflow over the rear of the appliance has not been reduced due to
insufficient clearance.
• Check if a large quantity of fresh food has been introduced.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• After defrosting is finished clean the inside with a solution of warm water with a
little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the
same way and reassemble.
• Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting
number 7 before introducing the food back into the freezer and setting the
thermostat to your normal setting.
NOISE FROM YOUR APPLIANCE
• You may notice some rather unusual noises. The noises are caused by circulation
of refrigerant 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.

• If the appliance is not in use for a long period of time, proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect from the mains supply.
2.
Clean and dry the inside (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
