The motor runs continuously.

The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.

 

The outside ambient temperature is very high.

 

The thickness of the frost exceeds 2-3 mm (see Maintenance).

The appliance makes a lot of noise. • The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (see Installation).

The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make noise.

The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.

There is water at the bottom of the refrigerator.

Icing water at rear of the Fridge

Excess moisture / Ice at rear of the Fridge

The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).

Make sure that the “Fast Freeze switch” (see pag 7 for details) is NOT in the ‘ON’ position, this will cause 100% run. If switch is not in ON position and severe icing persists, set temperature regulating knob (see pag 5 for details) to lower position.

Excess moisture / Ice will occur if the Larder door is opened for prolonged periods. This will disappear once the door is closed and the Larder allowed to defrost and drain the moisture away. This is normal for cooling function of the Larder compartment, especially in summer period.

• If room temperature is 16 C or lower, (for example the product is

 

located in a garage or out building), for the refrigerator to operate

 

correctly the “Fast Freeze switch” must be in the ‘ON’ position (see

 

pag 7 for details)
