CHAPTER -7: BEFORE CALLING AFTER-SALES SERVICE
There is a build-up of humidity inside the cooler
Check if:
•
All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.
•
The fridge door is opened frequently. Humidity of the room enters the fridge when the doors are opened.
Humidity increases faster when the doors are opened more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room
is high.
The door is not opening and closing properly
Check if:
•
There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
•
The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly
•
The door joints are broken or torn
•
Your fridge is level.
Recommendations
•
If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the appliance in or
restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
•
If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to
chapter cleaning and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
•
If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult the nearest authorised
service centre.
•
The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use only. It is not suitable for commercial or
common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with this, we emphasise that
the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as
a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Drinks or other liquides should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity inside the
appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps
preserve their smell and taste.
4. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the
appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments ( such as the crisper and chiller) closed.
6. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
