Ice maker start-up
caution
The water connection to your ice and water product should
only be done by a licensed refrigeration mechanic, plumber
or electrician.
If the ice maker is not connected to a water supply, check
that the ice maker is turned off. To do this remove the ice
cream shelf and put the switch in the ‘OFF’ position. If you
don’t do this a loud buzzing noise will be heard intermittently
if the icemaker is on but no water is being supplied.
If the ice maker is connected to a water supply, check that
the ice maker is turned on. To do this put the switch in the
‘ON’ position.

Refrigerator/freezer operation
It is normal for the rear, sides and centre mullion of the
refrigerator to feel warm.
These areas are warm because the refrigerator transfers heat
from food placed inside the refrigerator to the outside air.
There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of the
freezer section. This coil cools and removes moisture from
the air. A fan at the rear of the freezer section then circulates
cold, dry air throughout the refrigerator.
This forced air circulation means that foods are refrigerated
far more quickly than in refrigerators where there is less air
circulation. Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will
affect air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally appear on the interior of
the freezer if the freezer door is opened frequently. This is
normal and will disappear after a few days in most climates.
Make sure you fully close the freezer and fresh food doors
after you load or remove food from these compartments.
If the doors are left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the
inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Take care
to properly close the doors and the frost will not reoccur.
tips and information
Your new energy efficient refrigerator uses a variable speed
compressor and other efficient components that may
produce different noises to your old refrigerator. These
sounds are normal and include:
• compressor running noise
• air movement noise from the small fan motor
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling
• a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor starting up
• a motorised air baffle used to adjust airflow.
These noises are normal and are no cause for alarm.
