BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore to save
time and money, check the following before calling an electrician.
What to do if your refrigerator does not operate,
Check that:
• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected,
• The thermostat setting is on the "•" position,
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know
is working into the same socket.
What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly
Check that:
• You have not overloaded the appliance,
• The doors are closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
If there is noise:
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise
(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite
normal. If you hear any other noises, check that:
The appliance is level,
• Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance,
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
Check that:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole)
Recommendations
• In case of a sudden power loss, or unplugging and plugging in the plug to the
electrical socket, the compressor protective thermal element will open as the
pressure of the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator is not yet balanced.
Your refrigerator will start to operate 4 or 5 minutes later, this is normal.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear of the appliance.
Therefore, water droplets or ice may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to
the operation of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal. There is no
need to perform a defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), set
the thermostat to "•" position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door
open to prevent humidity and smell.
