•
Also make a periodic check on the tray above the compressor, and clean it if necessary.
Practical advice for saving energy
•
Install the chest freezer in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight
and well away from heat sources.
•
Do not place hot foods in the freezer sections. Wait for foods to cool to room temperature
before placing them on the shelves;
•
Open the door as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the
compartments from warming up too much;
•
Clean the condenser (rear of the freezer) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing
efficiency;
•
If the freezer is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off.
Operating noise
•
The freezer is cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset
temperature inside the freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response
to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the
compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a
few minutes.
•
Another normal refrigerator operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing
through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is perfectly normal and does not mean that the
appliance is malfunctioning. If it is over-loud, there may be other causes. In this case, check
that:
-
the freezer is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is
in operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate;
Troubleshooting Guide
The appliance is not working.
Check that
• The switch in your home installation fuse box is switched on.
• The wall socket is working. This can be done by connecting another electrical device to
the socket and checking for function.
The unit seems to generate insufficient cooling power.
Check whether
• Too much food has been stored in the unit.
• The thermostat is set to position MIN (position 1) (in this case, set it to a suitable higher
value).
• The door is not properly closed.
• There is too much dust on the condenser.
