Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not operate when
switched on, check;
• That the plug is inserted properly in the
socket and that the power supply is on. (To
check the power supply to the socket, plug
in another appliance)
• Whether the fuse has blown/circuit breaker
has tripped/main distribution switch has
been turned off.
• That the temperature control has been set
correctly.
• That the new plug is wired correctly, if you
have changed the fitted, moulded plug.
If the appliance is still not operating at all after
above checks, contact the dealer from whom
you purchased the unit.
Please ensure that above checks have been
done, as a charge will be made if no fault is
found.

Information about operating noises

To keep the selected temperature constant,
your appliance occasionally cycles the
compressor on / off.
The resulting noises are quite normal.
As soon as the appliance has reached the
operating temperature, the noises
automatically reduce in volume.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor
(compressor). When the motor is switchd ON,
the noise will briefly increase in volume.
The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is
emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through
the pipes.
A clicking noise can always be heard when
the thermostat switches ON/OFF.
A ticking noise may occur when
- the automatic defrosting system is active.
- the appliance is cooling down or warming up
(material expansion).
If these noises are excessively loud, the
causes are probably not serious and are
usually very easy to eliminate.
The appliance is not level
Use the height-adjustable feet or place
packing under the feet.
The appliance is not free-standing
Please move the appliance away from kitchen
units or other appliances.
Shelves are loose or sticking
Please check the detachable components
and, if required, refit them.
Warning!
Do not attempt at any time to repair the
appliance or its electric components yourself.
Any repair done by an unskilled person is
dangerous for the user and can lead to
warranty loss.
