(see "Troubleshooting guide").

disconnect the appliance again and repeat the

IINSTALLATION AND DOOR REVERSIBILITY
• Install the freezer away from heat sources. Installation in a
hot environment, direct exposure to the sun or installation
near heat sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will increase
power consumption and should therefore be avoided.
• If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must
be respected:
• 30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves;
• 3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves.
• Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place
• Clean the inside (see "Defrosting and cleaning the
freezer").
• Fit the accessories.
Notes:
• If the front edge of the appliance is hot, this
is not a defect but prevents the formation of
condensate.
• Gurgling and hissing noises due to
expansion in the refrigerant circuit are
normal.
Specify:
•the type of fault,
•the model,
•the Service number (the number after the
word SERVICE on the rating plate inside the
appliance),
•your full address,
•your telephone number and area code.
