INSTALLATION

10
Changing the Light
Any replacement or maintenance of the LED lamps must be made by kogan.com, an
authorised service agent or similar qualified person. Do not repair or replace LED lamps
yourself.
Starting
•Before initial start, keep the refrigerator still for two
hours before connecting it to power supply.
•Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator
shall have run for 2-3 hours or for above 4 hours in
summer when the ambient temperature is high.
•Spare enough space for convenient opening of the
doors and/or drawers.
Energy saving tips
•The appliance should be in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight.
•Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading
the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may
lose quality or spoil.
•Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
•Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper
towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
•Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

TROUBLESHOOTING

18
Water pan
overflows
•There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains
too much water, resulting in heavy defrosting.
•The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to
entry of air and increased water due to defrosting.
Hot housing
•Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing,
which is normal.
•When housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature
and storage of too much food, it is recommended to provide
sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.
Surface
condensation
•Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the
refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high.
Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise
•Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation
and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is
normal.
