WHAT TO DO
Appliance will not run
It is normal for the freezer fan not to
operate during the automatic defrost cycle,
or for a short time after the appliance is
switched on.
Ensure that the cord is plugged into a live power outlet and outlet is switched on.
Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the fuse has not
blown.
The appliance maybe in defrost mode, check again in half an hour.
Compressor motor seems to run too long
At normal room temperatures, expect your
motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time.
Under warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more often.
Ensure that the doors are not held open
Check that large amounts of warm food have not just been placed inside the
appliance.
Note that the appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when
adjusting to temperature setting changes.
The exterior of the appliance is warm or hot
to touch
This is normal because the appliance
transfers heat from the inside out through
the outer panels and the divider between
the doors.
Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recommended in the section
“Installing your new appliance”.
The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may even feel
hot to touch, as the appliance is working harder.

changed the user interface will go into
sleep mode when not in use. Press any
button to wake user interface
