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 on Page 3).
-
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.
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.
