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.
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.
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 food items and
liquids.
