Service

Before calling a service technician to assist with a problem, please check:

•Are the temperatures set correctly?

•Is the power switched OFF? The power should be ON.

•Has a house fuse blown or a circuit tripped out? Repair or re-set as necessary.

•Is the 15-amp plug pushed firmly into the wall socket? Check another appliance such as a toaster or kettle in the same socket.

•Has the door been left open? Close the door and monitor performance.

•Is there adequate provision for airflow at the rear of the unit.?

•Are any of the shelves so tightly packed as to obstruct air flow between stored foods?

Remember that you may be charged for a service call, even during the warranty period, if the fault is caused by any of the above.

If you have followed the instructions and still have a problem, contact the nearest Defy Service Centre. They will be able to advise you on any aspect of the machine or send a qualified technician to repair it.
