Troubleshooting
IS THE FRIDGE FREEZER WORKING AS
YOU WANT?
Have you read through the instruction
book ?
If you still have a problem, before calling
our service organisation see if any of the
tips below help.
The fridge freezer will not work
1. Check plug is firmly positioned in the
socket outlet and the power supply is
switched on.
2. Check power supply with another
appliance.
3. Check fuse/circuit breaker.
4. Check the door is closed properly.
The fridge freezer is making a lot of
noise
1. Check that the rear pipe work is clear
of the wall, skirting board and other
obstacles.
2. Check that all feet/wheels are firmly
in contact with the floor and the
fridge freezer is level.
3. See OPERATING SOUNDS next page.
The temperature is too warm
1. Turn the control wheel to a higher
number. See CONTROLS section.
2. If the fridge freezer is close to a heat
source, move it to another location.
3. Check that there is enough
ventilation around the fridge freezer.
4. Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
The temperature is too cold
1. Turn the control wheel to a lower
number. See CONTROLS section.
The red high temperature warning
light will not go out?
1. Has the fridge freezer just been
installed? If so, this is normal and the
light will go out when the correct
temperature has been reached.
2. Has the fridge freezer been loaded
with a large quantity of food? If so,
the light will go out when the correct
temperature has been reached.
3. Have the doors been closed
properly?
I have had a power cut but the red
food defrost alert warning light hasn’t
come on (Models FFA80, FFA70 &
FFS70 only)
The food defrost alert only operates if a
power cut has been long enough for the
freezer to warm up and start defrosting
the food. The freezer insulation will keep
food frozen during a short power cut.
The red food defrost alert warning
light has come on but I haven’t had a
power cut (Models FFA80, FFA70 &
FFS70 only)
If you switch your freezer off and empty
it or allow it to warm up, the food defrost
alert light will come on when you turn
the freezer on again. If there is no food
inside to defrost press the button beside
the light to cancel.
The amber fast freeze indicator light is
on?
Fast freeze is selected. Remember to turn
fast freeze off after 24 hours from the
introduction of fresh food to be frozen.
However, if you forget, it will
automatically cancel after 48 hours.
The amber holiday indicator light is
on? (Models FFA80, FFA70 & FFS70
only)
Holiday mode is selected.
Press the holiday button or open the
fridge door to cancel this function and
return the fridge freezer to normal
operation.
