Power cut
In the event of the freezer failing to operate because of a power failure,
do not worry unduly. Providing care is taken to ensure that the door is
kept closed, frozen food will keep within the freezer for at least 16 hours.
Extra protection can be given by covering the freezer with two or three
thick blankets. If a long breakdown is anticipated try to get the produce
into another freezer or cold store, if possible.
The Freezer is particularly cold
You may have the Thermostat Control Dial on a higher setting than
required.
The Freezer is particularly warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the Thermostat Control Dial to
setting 5. If there is no humming noise, it is not working.
Call the national service number 08705 425425.
The Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug
has not blown. Plug in another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the
socket is working.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any
residue of moisture. If the problem continues call your helpline number
0113 2793520.
Noises
You may hear some unusual noises from time to time. See ‘Noises inside
the Freezer’ on page 4.
If you are not able to identify and eliminate the faults according to the
above recommendations, contact your Authorised Service Agent, advising
of model number of the appliance which is shown on the back of the
rating plate.
Do not attempt to repair your Freezer yourself as it might endanger you
and others.

Moving your Freezer
Location
Do not locate your Freezer near a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or
radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in lean-to’s or sun lounges.
Levelling the Freezer
Make sure the Freezer is level. Use the rotating levelling feet at the front.
If the Freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be
affected.
Do Not Turn on the Freezer for 2 hours
After the Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 2 hours. The coolant
fluid needs time to settle.
Servicing
Repairs and maintenance of the appliance should only be performed by
an authorised, qualified technician.
TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build up
in the Frozen Food Compartment. As a
temporary measure, this frost should be
scraped away using a plastic scraper. NEVER
use a metal or sharp instrument and do not use any electrical appliances
to aid defrosting. Complete defrosting will however become necessary at
least once per year, or if the frost layer exceeds 5mm (1/2”) to maintain
the efficiency of the Freezer. This should be carried out if the frost build up
cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the food storage.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low and proceed as follows:
1
Take out the frozen food, turn the Freezer off at the mains supply and
leave the door open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another
freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible wrap the food, firstly in
several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or
blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2
Place a shallow bowl or pan below the Freezer. Scrape away as much
frost build up as possible using the plastic scraper. Thawing of the
remainder can be speeded up by placing bowls of hot water inside the
freezer cabinet and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, prize it
away with the plastic scraper and remove.
3 When defrosting is completed, clean your Freezer as described in
‘CLEANING’.
Cleaning inside the Freezer
You should clean the Freezer internally with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a ‘wrung-out’
sponge or cloth. Wipe the Freezer dry before replacing the baskets.
Plug in and switch on the mains supply.
Cleaning the outside of the Freezer
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Freezer exterior. Make sure
that the door is closed, to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door
seal or inside the cabinet.
Cleaning tips
• Defrost when food stocks are low.
NOTE Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean
any part of the Refrigerator.
