Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Test the outlet with another device. Ensure the thermostat control is not set to 'off' or '0'.
Fridge/Freezer not cooling effectively

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting your Statesman F1448W fridge freezer ready for use is straightforward, ensuring long-term performance and food safety.
Setup
- Unpack and Position: Carefully unpack the appliance. Due to its kerbside delivery, ensure you have assistance to move it to its final position in your kitchen.

- Reversible Door: The door is reversible, allowing you to change the hinge side to best suit your kitchen layout. Consult the included manual for detailed instructions on how to reverse the door.
- First Use: After positioning, allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, set the temperature and allow it to cool for several hours before loading food.
