BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES
SERVICE
If your refrigerator is not operating as expected, check the solutions listed below before calling an
electrician or the after sales service.
What to do if your refrigerator does not operate:
Check that:
• Your freezer is plugged in and switched on,
• The mains switch in your home is not switched off,
• The thermostat setting is in the "•" position,
• The socket is no longer functioning. To check this, plug in an 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 freezer thermostat setting is in the "1" position (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable value),
• The door is closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space for air circulation at the rear and side of the appliance.
If there is noise;
The cooling gas which circulates in the cooling circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even
when the compressor is not running. This is normal. If these sounds are different check that:
• The appliance is well levelled,
• Nothing is touching the rear,
• Nothing on or in the appliance is vibrating.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is not used for long time (for example during holidays) defrost and clean the
refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of midew and smell.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug it at the mains socket (for cleaning and when the doors
are left open).
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest
Authorised Service.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only at home
and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use.
If the consumer use the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features, we
emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair or failure within
the guarantee period.

Tips for saving energy

1.
Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat
source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3.
Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in
the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps
to preserve smell and taste.
4.
Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm
air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5.
Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc ) closed
6.
Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
7.
It is possible to store more food by removing freezer shelf. Energy consumption is declared with
maximum load and without freezer shelf.
