BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
If your refrigerator is not working properly,it may be a minor problem, therefore check
the following, before calling an electrician to save time and money.
What to do if your refrigerator does not operate ;
Check that ;
• There is no power ,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected ,
• The thermostat setting is on« 0 »position ,
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know
which is working into the same socket.

Check that ;
• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The doors are closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,

If there is noise ;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight
noise(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is
quite normal. If these sounds are different check that ;
• The appliance is well leveled
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator ;
Check that ;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged(Use defrost drain plug to clean the

Recommendations
• In order to increase space and improve the appearance,the « cooling section » of
this appliance is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment.
When the appliance is running, this wall is covered with frost or water drops,according
to weather the compressor is running or not. Do not worry. This is quite normal. The
appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick layer forms on the wall.
• If th e ap plianc e is no t used for lon g time (for examp le du ring the summer
holidays)Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of midew and smell.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when
the doors are left open)
