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 operation of the compressor, and you may hear a slight click
as it cycles in and out.
3.4 Energy Saving Advice
•
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 that the air vents are clear.
•
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods as warm air will enter the cabinet and may cause a buildup
of ice and affect the energy consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing
properly.
•
Ensure that the door seal is clean and there are no tears or splits.
•
Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as cooked meats), in the coldest part of the
fridge. The Salad Crisper Box should be used for vegetables, salads and fruits etc. (see Description of Appliance).
•
Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of
warm air form.
•
Do not put hot food into the fridge – let it cool down first.
3.5 In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the door closed. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to operate
but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored food
items and liquids.
3.6 Warnings for Temperature Settings
The ambient temperature, the temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If necessary, change the temperature setting to suit the situation.
