Noises Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you 
should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more 
pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of 
your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Shopping for Chilled Foods

•  Take a quick look at the chilled food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.
•  Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep 

the food cold.

•  Don’t buy chilled food unless you can chill it straight away. Specially insulated bags can be bought 

from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These bags can keep chilled food cold for longer while 
transporting.

•  Food that has been left in a car or at room temperature for a prolonged period of time could raise the 

food temperature to a dangerous level, which allows harmful bacteria to grow.

•  Always unpack and place chilled food in the unit before storing dry food.

•  This function will automatically deactivate after 24 hours.
•  If you are freezing large quantities of food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing 24 

hours before the food is placed in the freezer compartment.

•  In fast freezing mode, more energy will be consumed.
