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
-
-
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.
3.6. In the Event of a Power Failure
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.

Section 4. Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the interior and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda
(5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning
products containing bleach or alcohol.
4.2. External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
There may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be
taken when cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance and the
compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an
accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause
increased energy consumption.
4.3. Defrosting
The fridge compartment will automatically defrost itself. However, you will need
to defrost the freezer periodically. When ice buildup in the freezer exceeds 3-
5mm, empty the contents and switch off the appliance, leave the door open and
allow the ice to melt. Place the frozen foods items in a cool-bag or wrap them in
thick newspaper. Do not use sharp objects to scrape the ice away. Clean and
dry the interior, close the door and turn on the power to the appliance. 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.
4.4. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents,
disconnect from the electricity supply, defrost, clean and dry, leaving the door
open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
