3.4. Normal Operating Sounds
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.
3.5. Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance 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 vents are clear.
Try to avoid keeping the door 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 door from closing properly.
Ensure that the door seal is clean and there are no tears or
splits. Do not put hot food into the freezer – let it cool down
first.
3.6. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the door 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 fooditems
and liquids.
