· Ice and frost form on the surface of the evaporator
during operation. A thick layer of ice or frost acts as heat
insulation and hinders thermal conducting.
· Defrost the freezer as quickly as possible, to avoid
thawing of the frozen food.
· Do not remove the ice or frost in the freezer with a sharp
or pointed item, otherwise the evaporator surface may
become damaged.
· Wipe off defrost water with a sponge.
· Place a container of hot water (do not use boiling water)
near the door of the freezer to speed up the defrosting
process.
· Dry the freezer interior and replace the frozen food.
· Reconnect the appliance after defrosting.
· Start up the appliance by adjusting the temperature
control knob.
· Close the door of the freezer.
12. Problem Diagnosis
The latest manufacturing techniques and state-of-the-art
freezing technology have been used to ensure safe and
reliable operation of your appliance. In case of problems,
please check first,
as described below, before making
a service call:
Things to be noted:
The compressor does not operate continuously, but
cycles on and off as required.
The
compressor
is
temperature regulator represented by a temperature dial.
When the interior temperature exceeds the pre-set
temperature, the compressor starts automatically and
when the interior temperature falls below the pre-set
temperature,
the
compressor
It is normal that the compressor makes a noise during
operation. The noise comes from the motor. The flow of
refrigera nt through the refrigerating system may make a
gurgling noise. These noises do not mean that there is a
fault with the appliance.
The exterior surface may be wet when cold and the
ambient temperature is low. This is normal
exterior surface will become dry as the ambient
temperature rises.
If the reasons of such phenomena cannot be identified
and resolved, please consult the service centre.
13. Troubleshooting
a) Problem: Freezer does not operate (does not
work)
Please check:
· Is the power cable in good condition? Is the appliance
properly plugged into the wall socket?
· Is there a power cut? (Use a small appliance to check ,
eg. hair dryer)
controlled
by
the
automatic
stops
automatically.
· Has the freezer started up? (The temperature dial
should not be set at "0".)
· Has the fuse blown?
b) Problem: The inner compartment is not cool
enough; the compressor cycles on and off
frequently;
Please check:
· The freezer should stand for at least 2 hours after
installation to stabilise the refrigerant circulation
system. See "Start-up". If it still does not work, unplug
the appliance and tilt it to one side for a while or place it
on an angle, then replace it in its original position.
Connect the appliance after 2 hours. Keep the door
closed for 12 hours.
·
Is the door properly closed? If so, the door gasket
should press on the external cabinet securely and
evenly.
Test: It should be difficult to pull out a piece of paper
placed between the door gasket and the external
cabinet. If the paper slips away easily, consult the
service centre.
· If there is thick ice in the freezer. (See "Cleaning and
Maintenance")
· Is the appliance exposed to direct sunshine or near a
heat source (oven, radiator, etc.)?
What to do: Do not expose the appliance to direct
sunshine; keep it away from any heat source;
install
appliance and the heat source (see "Location").
· Is the inner compartment overloaded?
· Is the room well venti lated? Is the air vent obstructed?
Is the heat exc hanger (condenser) on the b ack covered
by dust?
c) The temperature of the freezer is too low
Please check:
· Is the temperature regulator properly set?
· Is the door of the freezer properly closed?
·
Is there a lot of fresh food (more than 1kg) in the
and the
freezer? (If the freezer operates for long periods, the
temperature of the freezer falls accordingly.)
d) The freezer is too warm / frozen food is thawed
·
the ambient temperature too low? (If so, the appliance
will malfunction, resulting in higher temperatures in the
freezer.)
What to do: Raise the ambient temperature.
