may cause more noise for a short time
when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing
occurs:
Due to the flow of the
refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs:
Due
to water flowing to the evaporation
container. This noise is normal during
defrosting.
There is water in the lower part of the
refrigerator
Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged
(use defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole).
Recommendations
•
If the appliance is switched off or
unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before
plugging the appliance in or restarting
it in order to prevent damage to the
compressor.
•
The cooling unit of your refrigerator is
located at the rear of the appliance.
Therefore, water droplets or ice may
form on the rear surface of your fridge
due to the operation of the compressor
at specified intervals. This is normal,
there is no need to perform a defrosting
operation unless there is excessive ice.
•
If you do not intend to use your fridge for
a long period of time (such as during the
summer holidays), set the thermostat to
“•” position, defrost and clean your fridge,
leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
•
If a problem persists after you have
followed all the above instructions,
please consult the nearest authorised
service centre.
•
The appliance you have purchased is
designed for domestic use only. It is not
suitable for commercial or common use.
If the consumer uses the appliance in a
way that does not comply with this, we
emphasise that the manufacturer and
the dealer will not be responsible for any
repair and failure within the guarantee
period.
8 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 liquids 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.
In case of wear, replace the
gasket.
8. It is possible to store more food
by removing freezer shelf. Energy
consumption is declared with maximum
load and without freezer shelf.
