HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

You will need a special Freezer thermometer available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.
The temperature should be -18
˚
C or lower.

This light glows continually when
electricity is being supplied to the Freezer.
If the light goes out, check:

That the plug has not been removed
accidentally.
•
That the switch on the electricity socket
is turned on.
•
That the fuse in the plug has not blown.
Try another household appliance, such
as a lamp, in the socket.

lamp bulb may have blown. Call your
Customer Service Department if this is
the case.
