2. The evaporator is frosted up – see Defrosting page 7.
3
The gas pressure is incorrect – check the pressure regulator at the gas cylinder
or at the jet (6) of the burner. (Page 9 – Gas burner parts list).
4
If the jet (6) is blocked, remove the jet, clean with alcohol or other solvent and
blow through with compressed air. Never use a piece of wire or a pin to clean
the jet. (Page 9 – Gas burner parts list).
5
Check that you have the correct regulator for the cylinder and gas type that you
are using.
6
You have run out of gas.
7. The ambient temperature is too high.
8. Too many products are loaded into the freezer at one time – air must be able to
circulate freely.
9. The lid is not properly closed or the lid seal is defective.
10. The baffle has not been inserted into the chimney. (factory fitted)
11. The absorption unit is leaking. In the case of a visible leak, there will be traces
of a yellow deposit at the point where the ammonia is escaping. If there is a
leak on the evaporator inside the cabinet, a smell of ammonia may be
noticeable inside the bin. If a leak is detected, under
NO
circumstances should
you try to repair it, as the unit is pressurized with hydrogen and may explode if
welding is attempted on the unit. Call a qualified service technician. Turn off
the gas or electric supply, and then empty the appliance. If it is in a small room
or in sleeping quarters and the smell of ammonia persists remove the appliance
to a well ventilated area. Do not try to use it.
12 There may be a drop in supply voltage, electric function only.
13. If the flame is not burning after releasing the fail-safe valve knob according to
the instructions, there may be two faults, these being:
a) The magnet in the flame failure device (2) is faulty.
b) The thermocouple feeler point (12) may not be in the flame properly.
To rectify this, loosen the thermocouple nuts (13) and adjust the thermocouple
until the point is over the second row of the small holes in the burner and re-
tighten the nuts on the thermocouple . Repeat the starting instructions and
lighting procedure as laid out on page 4. (

14. If the appliance is still not working properly, call a qualified service technician to
repair it.
