Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator 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 to hot, 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 food are refrigerated far
more quickly than in refrigerators where the air remains
relatively static.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will eff ect
air circulation.
A light frosting may 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.
Ensure to properly close the door, so the frost will not reoccur.
Your new energy effi cient appliance uses a high-speed
compressor and other energy effi cient components that may
produce diff erent noises to your old appliance.
These sounds are normal and includes:
• compressor running noise.
• air movement noise from the small fan motor.
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting.
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor starting up.
These noises are normal and will not cause the unit to alarm.
