Troubleshooting and Hints
If your appliance is to be out of service for any length of time ensure that the interior is carefully cleaned
and dried. Leave the door open and disconnect the plug from the mains socket.
Carry out regular cleaning according to instructions.
Problem:
The appliance does not work at all
Check that the appliance is plugged in and that the power is on.
Check that the fuse is intact.
Check that the plug is not damaged
Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance
Check there has not been a power cut by checking the household or surrounding lights
The appliance is noisy
Check that the appliance is level.
Check that the appliance is not touching nearby items such as furniture or other objects.
“Whooshing” and “Gurgling” noises caused by the refrigeration system are perfectly normal and
cannot be avoided.
The appliance is not meeting the correct temperature
Check that the door is shutting and sealing correctly. Check the frequency of door openings. If opened
too often this can cause the compressor to run for some time.
Check that the appliance is not too close to a heat source (such as radiator).
Check that the appliance is not overloaded with products. The appliance requires space between stored
items in order for the air to circulate correctly.
Check that there has not been a sudden rise or fall in temperature. Your appliance is designed to
operate in an ambient temperature between 18°C and 38°C.
Check that the appliance is positioned correctly. It should be positioned away from direct sunlight.
Check that the thermostat is set to a suitable temperature.
Check that the ventilation grille and/or condenser has not become blocked (if fitted).
