4 - Operating your appliance
Initial start up
The appliance transfers heat from food placed inside the
appliance to the outside air.
This process makes the rear, the sides and the area
adjacent to the doors, particularly at initial start up,
feel warm. This is normal.
There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of
the cabinet. This coil cools and removes moisture from
the air. A fan then circulates cold, dry air throughout the
cabinet.
This air circulation means that foods are refrigerated far
more quickly than in appliances where the air remains
relatively static.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will
affect air circulation. (see section "Features at a
Glance)
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This
is normal and will disappear after a few days in most
climates.
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load
or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops,
remove it. Take care to properly close the door and the
frost will not reoccur.
Your new energy efficient appliance uses a high-speed
compressor and other energy efficient components that
may produce different noises to your old appliance.
These sounds are normal and include:
• compressor running noise.
• air movement noise from the small fan motor.
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• a popping noise, heard during defrosting.
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor
starting up.
These noises are normal and not cause for alarm.
