Normal Operating Sounds
3.4.
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is
pumped to the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of
the appliance. When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight
whirring sound or pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of
the compressor, and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.
Energy Saving Advice
3.5.
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure
-
that the air vents are clear
Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, warm air will
-
enter the cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting
the energy consumption.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from
-
closing properly.
Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits.
-
Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such
as cooked meats), in the coldest part of the fridge.
The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest part of your fridge and should
-
be used for vegetables, salads and fruits etc. (see Description of
Appliance on Page 2)
Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the
-
fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer – let it cool down first.
-
In the Event of a Power Failure
3.6.
If there is a power failure, keep the doors closed. When the power has
been restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time
to achieve the pre-set operating temperature. Check the condition of your
stored food items and liquids.
