Hints and Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
·
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
·
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round, and you will hear a
whirring sound or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
·
A thermostat controls the compressor and you
will hear a faint " click" when the termostat cuts
in and out.
Energy Saving Advice
·
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat
such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
·
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
cabinet are not obstructed.

Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.
