Check that:
•
You have overloaded the appliance,
•
The thermostat setting is on position “1” (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable value).
•
The doors are closed properly,
•
There is no dust on the condenser,
•

If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Compressor noise
•
Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
•
Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it starts.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
•
If you hear any other noises check that:
- The appliance is level
- Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
- The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator;
Check if;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
Important notes:
•
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),
please disconnect the plug from the socket.
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.
