REPLACING THE BULB
Before contacting After-sales Service…
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools of
any kind.
Noises coming from your appliances are
normal since it has a number of fans and
engines to regulate performances that switch
on and off automatically.
Some of the functional noises can be reduced
through
- Levelling the appliance and installing it on an
even surface
- Separating and avoiding contact between the
appliance and furniture.
- Checking if the internal components are
correctly placed.
- Checking if bottles and containers are not in
contact with each other.
Some of the functional noises you might hear:
A hissing sound when switching on the
appliance for the first time or after a long
pause.
A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters
into the pipes.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. Keep both doors of the appliance closed. This
will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as
possible.
For power failures lasting more than 24 hours.
1. Empty the freezer compartment and arrange
the food in a portable freezer. If this type of
freezer is not available and, likewise, no artificial
ice packs are available, try to use up the food,
which is more easily perishable.
2. Empty the ice bucket.
