What to do when...:
a) The appliance does not function (it is not running).
Please check:
Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in the socket
properly?
Is the electricity coming through?
(check this by possibly plugging in a small appliance such
as a hand mixer or hair dryer etc.).
Is the appliance switched on? (Temperature dial should
not be set to ”0”).
Warning!
In the event of a fault or of a power failure, the insulation of
the appliance’s walls provides 12 to 15 hours storage time
for the frozen foods after the beginning of such failures.
Considerably more time is granted in specially insulated
appliances. Ask your dealer what is the relevant:
“Storage
time in an emergency“.
If it takes longer to eliminate a problem, the frozen food in
the appliance begins to defrost. Therefore, take prompt
action to eliminate the problem and, if necessary, move the
frozen food to another freezer (perhaps to a neighbour).
b) Your appliance is not cooling sufficiently.
The freezing process is taking too long.
The compressor is running too often.
Please check:
Did you make sure that the fridge / freezer was left to
stand for at least 2 hours before switching it on? (To
stabilise the circulation of the refrigerating fluid) see:
“starting up“.
If not; unplug your appliance and lift it to
one
side,
with the door closed, for a short while, i.e. tilt it and then
place it back down on its feet again. After 2 hours plug it,
back in. Do not open the door again for about 12 hours
(i.e. until the red light - if provided - has gone off).
The door does not close tightly and is not sealing
properly.
Test: place a sheet of paper between the seal and the
casing and close the door. It should be difficult to pull out
the sheet of paper on all sides.
If the paper slides out easily on one or more sides, call
your nearest service department.
Heavy ice formation on the inside walls of the freezer
compartment
(see:“ cleaning and maintenance“).
The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or is sited
near a direct heat source (oven, radiator etc.).
Protect the appliance against direct sunlight / check the
distance from the heat source / place an insulation plate
between the appliance and the source of heat
(See “Choosing where to install your appliance“).
The freezer has been filled up with a quantity of fresh
food, which does not comply with the freezing capacity
indicated on the rating plate
(XX kg /24h).
Is the ventilation working properly, the ventilation grille
covered or is the condenser on the outer rear wall full of
dust?
c) Your appliance is excessively noisy.
Please check:
Is the cabinet standing level and steady, are any nearby
objects or items of furniture being vibrated by
the cabinet? Make sure everything at the rear is free,
carefully bend back any parts touching.
Note: slight bubbling noises are normal for this type of
refrigeration system.
Warning
On no account should you undertake any technical
interventions or attempts at repair on your appliance.
