your elan rattles
This could be because it is not standing
level, or not standing on all four feet. Try
adjusting the levelling foot / feet.
See that vibration noises are not caused by
objects in contact with your appliance and
each other.
not working / stops cooling
Check it is plugged in and switched on.
Check the fuse in the plug has not blown.
the cabinet is too warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn
the thermostat up to number 6. If there is no
humming noise, it is not working.
noises
‘Whooshing’ or ‘gurgling’ noises from the
circulation of refrigerant liquid is not a fault.
your elan makes a humming noise
This is the normal running of the
compressor. If it is on continuously your elan
is probably getting too warm. This may be
caused by warm weather, the door being
left open too long, a rise in room
temperature, a damaged door seal or a
door not 'hanging' properly (an uneven gap
can be seen above the door). Check all
these things. Try adjusting the front feet to
correct door hanging problems.
door adjustment
The door can be adjusted by following the
door adjustments paragraph in reversing
the door opening section page 11.
water on the floor of the larder
This may be due to the defrost drain being
blocked. The drain may be cleared by
carefully using a flexible rod such as a pipe
cleaner or net curtain wire.
internal light doesn’t work
There may be a power supply problem. The
bulb may need replacing.
If the ideas given above have not solved the
problem, call customer service. Do not
attempt repairs on your own, particularly on
electrical components.

Your elan contains isobutane R600a, a gas
with high environmental compatibility but
which is also combustible. When
transporting, installing or disposing of your
elan care should be taken to ensure that no
parts of the refrigerating circuit are
damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the
pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury.
Ensure that the appliance is earthed.
Ensure that the appliance is disconnected
from the mains supply before attempting to
remove light covers (if fitted).
Ensure that the appliance is disconnected
from the mains supply before cleaning
internally or defrosting.
Do not store flammable, corrosive or
explosive substances in the appliance.
Do not allow unsupervised children to use
this appliance.
Do not remove items from the icebox with
wet hands or eat lollies directly from the
icebox . Low temperatures may cause
‘freezer burn.’
Do not place fizzy drinks in the icebox as the
containers may burst.
If there is a power cut, the food in the icebox
in the fridge may start to thaw. To help
prevent this it can be wrapped as if the
fridge is being defrosted. If the power cut is
of such a duration that the food does begin
to thaw it should be used or thrown away.
Do not re-freeze food that has thawed.
Your cabinet is CFC, HFC and HCFC free and
therefore has no ozone depletion potential
(zero ODP). However, all refrigeration
appliances should be disposed of in a
responsible manner. Ensure that none of
the pipes on the back of the appliance are
damaged prior to disposal. Up to date
information concerning options for disposing
of your old appliance and packaging from
your new appliance can be obtained from
your retailer or local council office.
