CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING
If humidity builds up inside the freezer;
• Has the food been properly packaged? Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the
freezer?
• Is the door of the freezer opened very frequently? When the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the
room enters the freezer. Especially if the humidity rate in the room is too high, the more frequently the door is
opened the faster will be the humidification.
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door freezer, baskets and Ice box placed properly?
• Is door gasket broken or torn?
• Is your freezer on a level surface?
If the edges of freezer cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the
compressor, this is normal.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• The compressor protection thermal fuse will cutout after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the
appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilised. This is quite normal, and the freezer will
restart after 4 or 5 minutes.
• The cooling unit of your freezer is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or ice may occur on the rear
surface of your freezer due to the operation of the compressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There is no
need to perform a defrosting operation unless the ice is excessive.
• If you will not use your freezer for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your freezer according
to Part 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only at home and for
the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer use the appliance in
a way that does not comply with these features, we emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be
responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult an authorised service
provider.

CHAPTER -7: TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

• Do not install the appliance close to heat producing appliances. Such as cooker, oven, dishwaher or radiator,
and locate the appliance in the coolest part of the room.
• Locate the appliance ina cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliances are
not obstructed.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the freezer.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet and cause the compresor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
• Cover foods before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Refer to the "temperature settings" section for the suggested temperature control settings.
• Do not block cold air vents. Doing so causes the freezer to run longer and use more energy.
• Keep freezer full.
• Level the freezer so that the door closes tightly.
• Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or paint brush to prevent an increased
power consumption.
• Keep door gaskets clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
