e) Switch the freezer on for at least 1 hour before replacing the foods.
When the freezer is to be out of use for a long period, after a thorough cleaning it should
be left unplugged and with its doors partially open.
SERVICING
For any repairs use only Service Centres recommended by the manufacturer and insist
that only original spares be used. Non-observance of the above could prejudice the safety
of the appliance.
If your freezer does not work, or if it does not work properly, check these points before
making a Service call.
1) Is power getting to the socket to which the freezer is connected? Try it with a lamp.
2) Is the connecting plug not plugged into the socket? Plug it in.
3) Is the thermostat perhaps at position "
●"? turn it to position 4.
4) Have you let too much frost accumulate on the evaporator (more than 4 to 5 mm)?
Defrost it (see "Defrosting").
5) Has the food been badly placed inside the freezer, hindering free circulation of air?
6) Can air circulate freely around the condenser behind the freezer? Move it further away
from the wall.
If you have a problem in or out of guarantee, please contact GIAS UK on Tel: 08705-99 00 11
for manufacturers service, giving the model type which you will find on the rating plate
inside the freezer (or on the warranty form). You will get prompter and better service by
giving this information.
Important: A layer of heat around the freezer cell shows that the appliance is
working properly
