HINTS FOR HOLIDAYS
If you plan to be away for a long time, disconnect the applian-
ce from the mains or turn the thermostat control knob to po-
sition ●, empty and clean the inside. Leave the door open to
prevent the appliance from smelling musty.
If you plan to be away for a short time, let the appliance ope-
rate normally.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior light switches on when the door is opened and
switches off when it is closed.
SERVICE
The incorrect operation of the appliance is not always due to a
fault, but may also result from poor installation or usage.
To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be
charged, we suggest you consult this trouble-shooting guide.
1. The temperature in the compartment
is not cold enough.
Check that:
- the door is properly closed;
- the thermostat control knob is in the correct position
(see chapter "Adjustment of the temperature");
- the appliance is not too close to a heat source;
- the air flow is not restricted;
- the low temperature compartment is not covered with a thick
layer of frost;
- the condenser is clean (Fig. 12).
2. The temperature in the compartment is too cold.
Check that:
- the thermostat control knob and the drip tray (if provided)
are in the correct position.
3. The appliance is excessively noisy.
Check that:
- the appliance is level.
4. The appliance does not work at all.
Check that:
- the thermostat control knob is not on position ●;
- there is not a power failure;
- the supply plug is making good contact with the supply socket;
Check the plug fuse by connecting another appliance to the
supply socket.
FOR GREAT BRITAIN ONLY
Check the plug fuse (if fitted). A 13 Amp fuse must be fitted.
Try a new fuse. Check removable plugs for loose connections
and tighten if necessary.
Loose connections can cause overheating of the plug: where
this has occurred, replace the plug.
- the supply cable is broken (see also Note).
5. The interior light does not work.
Check that there is not a power failure.
In the negative, disconnect the appliance from the mains.
Remove the cover (Fig. 13a-13b) and check that the bulb is
not loose. If required, tighten it.
If the bulb is faulty, replace it by a new one (15 W max.) (Fig. 14).
6. Water on bottom of the refrigerator compartment.
- Check that the drain situated on the rear wall (Fig. 11) is not
obstructed. If necessary clean it.
Note: To replace the supply cable, unplug the appliance and
fit the new cable, ensuring that it is fitted correctly.
If you have followed the above checks and your appliance still
does not work properly, get in touch with the Service Division
(Fig. 15).
Addresses and telephone numbers can be found on the
Service card.
State clearly what is wrong and the type and serial number of
your appliance.
