Magic Chef MCWC52B Operating Instructions Manual page 9

Continuous Operation of the
Cooling System
The door is frequently opened or left open for
too long.
The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged).
Perhaps you may have overloaded the appliance.
The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the
compressor (assure adequate air circulation).
Ice Formation on the
Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the
channel and through the outlet to the drain
pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting
of the appliance is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back
wall is increased (1/8-1/5in.), ice should be
manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to STOP ( 0 )
position and leave the door open. Never
use electric devices for defrosting and do
not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp
objects.
After defrosting is complete, turn the knob to
desired position and close the door. The
cause of increased ice formation may be
one of the following:
the door does not seal well (clean the
gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if
it is damaged);
the door is frequently opened or left too
long;
the food stored in the appliance was warm;
the food or dish is touching the inner back
wall.
Water is Leaking From the
Appliance
If the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the
defrost water drips over the channel, water will
leak from the appliance.
Clean the clogged outlet.
.
Manually defrost the increased ice layer ( see
.
ice Formation on the Inner rear Wall ).
Noise
Cooling in this appliance is made possible by
cooling the system using a compressor, which
will produce certain noise levels. How noisy
the appliance is depends on where it is placed,
how it is used and how old the appliance is.
During the operation of the compressor
.
the noise of the liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow
is heard. This is a normal condition and it has
no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
After starting the appliance, the
.
operation of the compressor and the refrigerant
flow may be louder, which does not mean that
something is wrong with the appliance and it has
no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
Gradually the noise will reduce.
Sometimes unusual and louder noise
.
may be heard. This noise is often a
consequence of inadequate installation.
The appliance must be level and installed on
_
a firm solid base/floor.
The appliance should not touch the wall or
_
kitchen units standing next to it.
Check the accessories on the interior of the
_
appliance, they should be placed correctly in
their positions; also check bottles, tins, and
other vessels are not touching each other
causing rattling and/or vibrations.
