If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Compressor noise
• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it starts.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
• If you hear any other noises check that:
- The appliance is level
- Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
- The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,
Check that:
• • The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole)..
Recommendations
• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long time (for example during the summer
holidays) unplug and clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent the formation
of mildew and smells.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug it from the main socket (for cleaning and when the
doors are left open).
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the
nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• The lifetime of your appliance is stated and declared by the Department of Industry. The
length of time for retaining parts required for the proper operation of the appliance is 10
years.
Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near a
heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature
of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will
help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and
other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc ) closed
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
