TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1. The appliance is not working.

Is there a power failure?
Is the main power switch on?
Has the fuse blown?
Is the thermostat setting correct?
Was the appliance switched on correctly?

2. Excessive frost build-up.

Has the defrost water drain been positioned 

correctly?

Is the door shut properly?

3. The yellow, red and green leds do not 

light up. Perform the checks for point 
1, and then:

Contact After-sales Service.

Notes:
• The front edge of the appliance may be hot. 

This prevents the formation of condensation 
and is not a defect.

• Gurgling and hissing noises due to 

expansion in the refrigerant circuit are 
normal.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

Before contacting the After-sales Service:

1. See if you can solve the problem yourself with 

the help of the Troubleshooting guide.

2. Switch the appliance on again to see if the 

problem has been solved. If it has not, 
disconnect the appliance from the power 
supply and wait for about an hour before 
switching on again.

3. If the problem persists after this course of 

action, contact After-sales Service.

Specify:
the nature of the fault,
the model,
the Service number (the number after the 

word SERVICE on the rating plate on the 
inside of the appliance),

your full address,
your telephone number and area code.

Note:
The direction of door opening can be changed. 
If this operation is performed by After-sales 
Service it is not covered by the warranty.

The door cannot be reversed on models with 
front handle.
