Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when
the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more
frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
•
Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
•
Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
•
Are door gaskets broken or torn?
•
Is your fridge on a level surface?
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.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
•
In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again, the
gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator will destabilise, causing the compressor
protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator will start to operate normally after
5 minutes.
•
If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays),
disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent
the formation of mildew and odour.
•
If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated purposes only. It is not

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 (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen
food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save
energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquides should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered,
the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy.
Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
6.
Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and
chiller) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
