Possible causes / Solutions:
• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far
enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.
• The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
• The doors are opened too frequently.
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position
• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct
position.
• The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator.
• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.
• The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm ( see Maintenance ).
• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface ( see
Installation ) .
• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and
make noise.
• The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the
compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.
• The water discharge hole is blocked ( see Maintenance ).
• These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the
formation of condensation on certain parts of the product.
• This shows the appliance is operating normally.
• The water discharge hole is blocked ( see Maintenance ).
• Make sure that the "Fast Freeze switch" (see pag 7 for details) is
NOT in the 'ON' position, this will cause 100% run. If switch is not
in ON position and severe icing persists, set temperature
regulating knob (see pag 5 for details) to lower position.
• Excess moisture / Ice will occur if the Larder door is opened for
prolonged periods. This will disappear once the door is closed and
the Larder allowed to defrost and drain the moisture away. This is
normal for cooling function of the Larder compartment, especially
in summer period.
• If room temperature is 7 C or lower, (for example the product is
located in a garage or out building), for the refrigerator to operate
correctly the "Fast Freeze switch" must be in the 'ON' position (see
pag 16 for details)
