Is the plug in the plug socket? Has the fuse blown?
Is there a power failure?
Is the setting of the thermostat knob correct? (see 'Controls'page 6)
Is the freezer placed too close to a heat source? (see 'Choosea Location'page 3) Is there a thick layer of frost on the internal walls? (see 'Defrosting'page B)
If the compressor makes repeated attempts to start without result, then turn off the electricity supply for about 20 minutes and then try again.
DO NOT try to repair the freezer yourself.

on hand when calling:
-Your name, address and postcode.
