POWER OutaGEs
• The majority of energy supply interruptions are corrected within a few hours. Your
refrigerator's interior temperature will not be affected within the first 4 hours. If the power
outage persists for more than 6 hours, we suggest placing bags of ice in both the fresh
food and freezer compartments to preserve the food.
• Avoid opening refrigerator doors during a power outage.
• If you notice variations in the voltage, we recommend that your turn off and/or disconnect
your refrigerator until the voltage returns to normal. Increases and decreases in the light
intensity from the bulbs indicate these variations are occurring.
• If you model comes with the Power Cool, Holidays, and Express Chill Zone functions,
these will be deactivated (indicated by the lights switching off). This won't affect your
refrigerator upon the power returning, but you will have to reactivate these functions
to continue using them.

While in operation, your refrigerator will make some typical sounds. Below, you can find
a description of the normal operating sounds:
• Cracking: You hear this when the ice breaks. It's the same sound which occurs when
the ice-trays are removed from the freezer and exposed to room temperature.
• Compressor noise: This is a characteristic of the motor. It means that the compressor
is working.
• Gas expansion noise: This is a noise similar to water boiling.
• Cooling system noise: This is a characteristic of the ventilator, which shows that the
system is functioning. It is commonly heard when you close the refrigerator door.
