Ensure that the bulb is correctly fitted.

Replace the bulb if it has blown.

turned to the correct setting relative to ambient
conditions.

Check the ambient temperature is within the
appliance’s operating limits, please refer to the
installation section in this instruction book.
Relocate the appliance if necessary.

Has door just been opened? If so leave for a few
minutes to allow the air pressure to equalise.

Adjust the thermostat control knob to give correct
temperature control. See “Setting the temperature”.

Check that the doors are closed.

Large quantities of food have recently been placed in
the cabinet and/or door is frequently opened.

Check that air ventilation is not obstructed.

Ensure the doors are not left open.

Check that nothing is preventing the doors from
closing.

Is the door gasket intact and clean.

Important:

If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or

installation a charge will be made, even if the appliance is under guarantee.

Before 

contacting your local Service Force Centre, check the following points:

Low room temperature operation 

During prolonged periods of low room temperatures,ie;10°C and lower, the compressor on single compressor
fridge freezers can remain inoperative during this time .

This is due to the air temperature within the refrigerator compartment being maintained at 6°C or under thus not 
calling the thermostat to energise the compressor .
