Normal Operating Sounds
3.4.
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.
Energy Saving Advice
3.5.
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the
-
air vents are clear
Try to avoid keeping the doors 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 doors from closing properly.
-
Ensure that the door seals are 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.
Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer – let it cool down first.
-
In the Event of a Power Failure
3.6.
If there is a power failure, keep the doors 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.
