SUGGESTION
· Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly
and that the outlet is switched "ON".
· Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is
coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of
your household power supply.
· Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly "colder" position.
· The flow of refrigerant through the pipeline coil could cause gurgling,
similar to water boiling. This is the normal function of the appliance.
· It is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the refrigerator
starts operating.
· Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take
action. For example, noises may mean that:
- The cabinet is not level.
- The floor is uneven or weak.
- Bottles are badly placed and rattling.
- There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside
the refrigerator.
- The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.
· Are doors kept open too long or too often?
· Are controls set too cold?
· Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored?
· If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the refrigerator will need to
run more than normal.
· The refrigerator will run more than normal just after you install it or
when it has been turned off for a long time.
· Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and
top. Refer to installation instruction on page 5.
Refer to "Controlling the temperature" on page .

the doors to self close.
