Troubleshooting guides:
High quality manufacturing processes and the use of latest refrig-
erating and freezing technology will basically ensure the trouble
free functioning of your appliance. If you suspect any fault, be-
fore contacting your nearest service department directly or via
your dealer, make sure that you have followed all instructions
and advice given in this user manual.
Please note:
The compressor must not operate continuously. It is controlled by
a thermostat which you set temperatures. Noise can be heard in
every compressor, when refrigerating system works. These nois-
es are produced when the motor in the compressor is running
and by the refrigerant flowing through the pipes circuit.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any fault in the
functioning of your appliance.
In unheated rooms and in cold weather conditions, condensation
can build up on the outer walls of the appliance. This does not
mean there is fault and it will disappear when the temperature
increases.
Only call the service department if after analysis of the possible
fault factors, you can not find any cause for the defect or you are
able to eliminate the fault.
The appliance does not function (it is not running)
• Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in the socket
properly?
Test: place a sheet of paper between the seal and the casing
and close the door. It should be difficult to pull out the paper
on
In the event of a fault or of a power failure, the insulation
of the appliance walls provides 2 to 5 hours storage time for
the frozen foods after the beginning of such failures.
Considerably more time is granted in specially insulated ap-
pliances. Ask your dealer what is the relevant " Storage time
in an emergency."
If it takes longer to eliminate a problem, the frozen food
in the appliance begins to defrost. Therefore , take prompt
action to eliminate the problem and, if necessary, move the
frozen food to another freezer (perhaps to another refrigera-
tor)
b Your appliance is not cooling sufficiently. The freezing
process is taking too long and the compressor is running too
often
Please check:
• Did you make sure that the fridge / freezer was left to stand
for at least 2 hours before switching it on? ( To stabilize the
circulation of the refrigerating fluid) see "starting up"
If not, unplug your appliance and lift it to one side, with the
door closed, for a short while, i.e. tilt it and then place it
back down on its feet again. After 2 hours plug it back in. Do
not open the door again for about 12 hours.
The door does not close tightly and it not sealing properly.
• Is the electricity coming through? (check this by possibly
plugging in a small appliance)
• Is the appliance switched on? (temperature dial should not
be set to "0")
One or more sides, call your nearest service department.
• Heavy ice forming on the inside walls of the freezer (see
"cleaning and maintenance)
• The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or it sited near a
direct heat source.
• Protect the appliance against direct sunlight / check the
distance from the heat source / place an insulation plate
between the appliance and the source of heat. (see "choos-
ing where to install your appliance" )
• The freezer has been filled up with a quantity of fresh food
which does not comply with the freezing capacity indicated
on the rating plate
• Is the ventilation working properly, the ventilation grille cov-
ered or it the condenser on the outer rear wall full of dust?
Your appliance is excessively noisy:
Please check:
• Is the cabinet standing level and steady are any nearby
objects or items of furniture being vibrated by the cabinet?
Make sure everything at the rear is free, carefully bend back
any parts touching.
Note: Slight bubbling noises are normal for this type of
refrigeration system.
Warning:
On no account should you undertake any technicalinterven-
tions or attempts at repair on your appliance.
Getting your appliance serviced:
Any repairs or interventions on the appliance should only be
carried out by your nearest service department, as otherwise
the user may run considerable risks and the guarantee may not
longer be valid.
Consult the enclosed guarantee card or the separately enclosed
list of after sales centers, to see which company is responsible for
servicing your appliance.
If there is no indication of the nearest service department in the
