Section 3: Operating
The Appliance
3.3. Normal Operating Sounds
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

Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat,
such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. Locate the
appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure

Try to avoid keeping the door open for long time, warm
air will enter the cabinet, and may cause condensation
as well as aecting the energy consumption. Ensure
there are no obstructions preventing the door from
closing properly
