Service
If a problem occurs, carry out the following checks:
- Is the appliance installed in a horizontal position?
- Is there sufficient ventilation?
- For 220V mains operation, check that the mains supply is correct. And is
the thermostat set correctly?
- For battery operation, check the battery and the connection.
- For gas operation, is the burner ignited?
- Has the ignition safety (adjustment) knob been set to MAX?
- Are the gas cylinder valve and/or the pressure regulator open?
- Is there still a sufficient quantity of gas in the cylinder? The cylinder is
empty if no
liquid can be heard moving about when it is shaken.
- Have two modes of energy (gas and electricity) been selected at the
same time?
- Has too much food been placed inside the refrigerator all at once?
Arrange the food so that the air is free to circulate inside the refrigerator.
Do not use pieces cardboard or plastic as separations. Keep vessels
containing liquids closed.
If, despite the above checks, you still need to contact the service
department, describe the failure and state the type of equipment and its
serial number (these are marked on the lebel).
If the power cable is damaged, it must be maintained by the original
factory/ after-service center or qualified person to avoid harmful
substances.
