TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Noises inside the Fridge/Freezer!
If you have not owned a Fridge/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
Fridge/Freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the
system.
Moving the Fridge/Freezer
Location
Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or
radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Levelling the Fridge/Freezer
Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating levelling feet at the
front. If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal
alignments will be affected and may cause your Fridge/Freezer to work
incorrectly.
Do Not Turn on the Fridge/Freezer for 4 Hours
After the Fridge/Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows
time for the coolant to settle.
plug has not blown. Plug in another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the
socket is working. The Fridge/Freezer should be placed in a well ventilated
room with an ambient temperature of between 18°C and 43°C. Leave the
Fridge/Freezer for 30 minutes
Condensation appears on the outside of theFridge/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.
