Ensure the door is kept closed when and not frequently opened.

Do not use the refrigerator to store/chill hot /warm foods. Wait for the

refrigerator to reach its selected temperature.

If the refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time it will

need time to reach the selected temperature.

If the freezer compartment has been removed temperature selection should

be rE. See Function & Operation section for further details.

There is a "water ﬂow"

type of noise from

inside the fridge

This is a normal phenomenon, caused by the ﬂow of refrigerant.

There are water

drops around the

refrigerator casing or

door gap

This is normal, the moisture will condense to water when it touches a cold

surface of the refrigerator. Wipe away with a dry cloth.

The compressor is

slightly noisy when

starting

This is normal. The noise will be reduced after the compressor stabilizes.

Code Fl displayed Possible cause: low voltage to fridge.
