If free service under guarantee is required, please have available your receipt as proof of purchase when the Service Electrician calls. 15 D200 6 SOMETHING NOT WORKING Important: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation a charge will be made, even if the appliance is under guarantee. Before contacting your local Service Centre, check the following points: Door reversal 1. Disconnect from the electricity supply; 2. Remove all loose items, including food, store food in a cool place; 3. Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the thermostat to a functioning position. After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour, replace the previously removed food into the compartment. D068/2 Setting the temperature The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an OFF (O) position. Position 1 = minimum coldness Position 6 = maximum coldness Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. The intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4). The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors: room temperature how often the door is opened how much food is stored position of the appliance Important If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible that because a very low temperature has been selected, the motor is working continuously, which prevents the defrost cycle from operating. To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should be selected on the thermostat and you should notice that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is correct. If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the thermostat to a higher number, however you should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic defrosting. Low Ambient Temperature Switch To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently when the room temperature drops below 16C, the switch mounted next to the thermostat control should be switched on. D710 A A - Low Ambient Switch The freezer compartment The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods. Freezing fresh food When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to freezing. When the food is frozen return to the normal position. In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 9 kg. Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part. [. . . ] The size of each pack should be small enough to ensure that it is used in one go . Small packs freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better results. Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. [. . . ]
