Normal noises
Cracking noise occurs:
• During automatic defrosting
• When the appliance is cooled
or warmed (due to expansion of
appliance material).
Short cracking noise occurs:
When
the thermostat switches the compressor
on/off.
Motor noise:
Indicates the compressor
is operating normally. The compressor
may cause more noise for a short time
when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash 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.
Air blowing noise occurs:
In some
models during normal operation of the
system due to the circulation of air.
The edges of the appliance in contact
with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm seasons),
the surfaces in contact with the door joint
may become warmer during the operation
of the compressor, this is normal.
There is a build-up of humidity inside
the appliance
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers
must be dry before being placed in the
appliance
.
• The
appliance
door is opened frequently.
Humidity of the room enters the
appliance
when the doors are opened.
Humidity increases faster when the doors
are opened more frequently, especially if
the humidity of the room is high.
The door does not open or close
properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing the
door from closing
• The door joints are broken or torn
• Your
appliance
is on a level surface.
• The compressor can run loudly or the
noise of the compressor/refrigerator
may increase in some models during
operating in some conditions such that
the product is plugged in for the first time,
depending on change in the ambient
temperature or change of usage. That
is normal; when the refrigerator reaches
the required temperature, the noise
decreases automatically.
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.
• If you will not use your appliance for
a long time (e.g. in summer holidays)
unplug it. Clean your appliance according
to chapter cleaning and leave the door
open to prevent humidity and smell.
• 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.

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 if available. The low
temperature of the frozen food will help
cool the refrigerator compartment while
