Troubleshooting
Power cut
If you have a Freezer thermometer, place it in the Freezer where
you can get easy access to it to read when the power returns. If
the internal temperature is -9°C or less when the power returns,
your food is safe. The food in your Freezer will remain frozen for
approx 16 hours with the door closed. If you know the power is
going to be cut, 24 hours before, turn the Thermostat Control Dial
to SUPER, this will make the Freezer colder than normal. If there is
no warning, turn the Thermostat Control Dial to SUPER after the
power cut. Don't open the door more than necessary.
The Freezer is particularly cold
You may have accidentally left the Thermostat Control Dial on MAX.
The Freezer is particularly warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the Thermostat Control
Dial to MAX. If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact
the
local store where you purchased your freezer.
The Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the
plug has not blown. Plug in another appliance, such as a lamp, to
see if the socket is working.
Condensation appears on the outside of the
Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off
any residue of moisture. If the problem continues contact the local
store where you purchased your freezer.

Old appliances still have some residual value. An environmentally
friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials
can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your
appliance and insulation materials require special disposal
procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the
appliance are damaged prior to disposal. Up to date information
concerning options for disposing of your old appliance and
packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local
council office.
