1. The appliance is not working.
• Is there a power failure?
• Has the main switch been turned on?
• Has the fuse blown?
• Is the thermostat setting correct?
• Was the appliance switched on correctly?
2. Excessive frost forms inside the
appliance.
• Has the defrost water drain been
repositioned correctly?
• Is the door shut properly?
Before contacting After-Sales Service:
1. See if you can solve the problem yourself
with the help of the Trouble-shooting guide.
2. Switch the appliance on again to see if the
problem has been solved. If it has not,
disconnect the appliance from the power
supply and wait for about an hour before
switching on again.
3. If the problem persists after this course of
action, contact After-sales Service.
Specify:
• the nature of the problem,
• the model,
• the Service number (the number after the
word SERVICE on the data plate on the
inside of the appliance),
• your full address,
• your telephone number and area code.
Install the appliance away from heat sources.
Installation in a hot environment, direct
exposure to the sun or installation near heat
sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will
increase power consumption and should
therefore be avoided.
If this is not possible, the following minimum
distances must be respected:
• 30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves;
• 3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves.
Install the refrigerator in a dry, well-ventilated
place.
Clean the interior (see "How to clean and
defrost the freezer").
Fit the accessories.
Electrical connection
Electrical connections must be made in
accordance with local regulations.
