few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact the local store where your purchase
was made.
The Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown. Plug
In another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working. Leave the Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If the problem
continues contact the local store where your purchase was made.
Noises inside the Freezer
If you have not owned a Freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual noises. Most
noises are perfectly normal; however you should be aware of them!
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
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 Freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Moving the Freezer
Location
Do not place your Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in
out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling the Freezer
Make sure the Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Freezer is not level, the
doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause your Freezer to work incorrectly.
Do not turn on the Freezer for 4 hours
After the Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.
Installation
Don’t cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
m your local electrical sore and then fit it. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.
Vacation Time
•
Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
•
Remove all the food.
•
Clean the refrigerator.
•
Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
•
Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
•
Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the
power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed.
How to save energy
•
Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating
ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range,
oven or dishwasher.
•
The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not place hot food inside the
refrigerator.
•
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings .Remove as many items as needed at one time
and close the door as soon as possible.
•
The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption, and the
formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
•
Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this
reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the flow of air.
•
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on
moisture build-up inside the unit.
•
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run
longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper
toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could
cause food spoilage.
•
During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator,
remove all the food, and clean it . The door should be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant
odors. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is reconnected.
•
During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However, remember that
prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.
