When Your Appliance Is Not In Use; Defrosting; Power Failure; Troubleshooting - Husky HUS-HN12 Instruction Manual

10
• Once or twice a year dust the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush
or vacuum cleaner to maintain efficient performance
• Dry all surfaces thoroughly.

WHEN YOUR APPLIANCE IS NOT IN USE

If the appliance is not being used for long periods:
• Unplug your appliance
• Clean and dry the inside of the appliance. Leave the door slightly open to allow it to
dry completely
• An appliance which is unused without being cleaned may start to smell musty or
develop mildew.

DEFROSTING

The surface of the evaporator ices up when the appliance is working normally. It can also occur
when the door has been left open or the thermostat has been set too high. If the frost layer is
more than 3mm/ 1 ⁄ " thick, the appliance must be defrosted and cleaned to avoid unnecessary

energy consumption and inefficient operation.
1. Remove all items inside and unplug the appliance
2. After defrosting, clean the appliance (see instructions on previous page) and allow it
to dry.

POWER FAILURE

If a power cut occurs, do not open the door more often than necessary in order to conserve
cold air. Wait at least 15 minutes before restarting. If you attempt to restart the unit before
this delay, the appliance may not start.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before returning your appliance to where you purchased it from, check the following points as
you may be able to solve any problem yourself.
Problem Solution
The appliance does
• Check that the appliance is turned on
not work • Check power cable is plugged in and that the fuse has not blown
• Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance
• Try a different socket which is known to work
• Check that the keypad is not locked.
The temperature is
• Check power cable is connected and that the fuse has not blown
not cold/warm enough • The wrong temperature selected. Adjust temperature (see page 8)
• The appliance is overfilled
• Appliance exposed to direct sunlight or heat source
• The door is being opened too often, the door gasket is damaged, and/or
the door is not closing completely
• Check that the ambient temperature is within the operational limits of
the appliance
• Check that the temperature is set to a suitable temperature.

Problem Solution
Unusual noises or • Check that the appliance is on a flat, level surface and is stable
noisy operation
• Check the clearance around the appliance and that it is not touching any
other items
• Bubbling and gurgling sound: This noise is NORMAL and is emitted
as the coolant fluid flows through the pipes within the system
• Water flowing sound: This is the NORMAL sound of water flowing
into the drain trough during the defrosting process
• Noisy operation: Compressor noise is NORMAL when the
compressor is being energised.
Outer surfaces are wet • Water source or leak too near the appliance – dry surfaces thoroughly
and move the appliance
• Inner surfaces are wet
• Caused by condensation – dry the inside of the appliance
• Door opened too often or kept open too often.
Inner surfaces are wet
• Caused by condensation – dry the inside of the appliance
• Door is opened too often or kept open too long.
Inner surfaces are • Door opened too often or left open, or the ambient temperature is too
iced up high or too humid.
Standing water inside • Check if the evaporation tray (at the back of the appliance) is full and
or on the floor/worktop
empty it if required.
Not achieving • The temperature shown on the display is showing the temperature of
temperature set where the sensor is located. It is perfectly normal operation for the
temperature to read a different temperature to the set temperature, as
the temperature within the appliance will fluctuate continually.
• Temperature performance is affected by several factors, i.e. how often the
door is opened, the ambient temperature, how full the appliance is, etc.
• If the temperature shown is higher than the set temperature, there is no
need to reset as the appliance will be continually working to reach the
required set temperature.
• Check that there is sufficient ventilation around the unit.
The appliance turns on • The room temperature is hotter than normal
and off frequently • A large amount of contents has recently been added to the appliance
• The door is opened too often
• The door is not closed completely
• The temperature control is not set correctly
• The door gasket does not seal properly.
Control panel/keypad • Check that the keypad is not locked (see page 8).
does not work
The light does • The light button is 'OFF'
not work
• The light will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.
The door will not • The door is misaligned
close properly • Check that no contents are obstructing it
• The appliance is not on a level surface
• The shelves are out of position.
Smell/odour • Check the appliance contents
• Check for spillages inside the appliance. Remove shelves and rack to
check prior spills have been cleaned up.
