assistance as soon as possible.
If your fridge is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following, before calling
an electrician to save time and money.
What to do if your appliance does not operate;
Check that;
• Thereisnopower,
• Thegeneralswitchinyourhomeisdisconnected,
• Thesocketisnotsucient.Tocheckthis,pluginanotherappliancethatyouknowwhichisworkinginto
the same socket.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly;
Check that;
• Youhavenotoverloadedtheappliance,
• Thefridgetemperaturesetto2.
• Thedoorisclosedperfectly,
• Thereisnodustonthecondenser,

If your fridge is operating too loudly;
Normal Noises
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• Duringautomaticdefrosting.
• Whentheapplianceiscooledorwarmed(duetoexpansionofappliancematerial).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/ o.
Compressor noise: Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally
Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the ow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flow noise: Normal ow noise of water owing to the evaporation container during defrosting.
This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blow Noise: Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in No-Frost freezer during normal operation of the
system due to the circulation of air.
If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation
of the compressor, this is normal.

Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source
(radiator, cooker., etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. CoverdrinksorotherliquidswhenplacingthemintheapplianceOtherwisehumidityincreasesinthe
appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer.
Alsocoveringdrinksandotherliquidshelpstopreservesmellandtaste.
4. Trytoavoidkeepingthedoorsopenforlongperiodsoropeningthedoorstoofrequentlyaswarmair
will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the dierent temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed
6. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
