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
or on the shelves.
As this is a Wet Wall fridge you will find
under normal operation that moisture
within the fridge will freeze to the back wall
forming ice during the cooling phase
(see
below image)
. Once the appliance has
reached the required temperature it will
then stop running and go in to it's Auto-
Defrost mode within the fridge
compartment which will mean that the ice
on the back wall will start to defrost and
form water droplets that will then run down
the rear wall and in to the defrost channel.
Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged
(use
a
defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole
if blocked
).
Make sure that nothing is touching the back
wall as this will cause water to run on to
shelves or bypass the drain hole, also if
anything is touching the back wall it will
freeze to the wall during the cooling phase.
• 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.
