or not standing on all four feet. Try adjusting
the levelling feet.

objects in contact with your appliance and
each other.

noises
‘Whooshing’ or ‘gurgling’ noises from the
circulation of refrigerant liquid is not a fault.
your fridge freezer makes a
humming noise
This is the normal running of the compressor.
If it is on continuously your fridge freezer is
probably getting too warm. This may be
caused by warm weather, the doors being
left open too long, a rise in room
temperature, a damaged door seal or a door
not 'hanging' properly (an uneven gap can be
seen above the door). Check all these things.
Try adjusting the front feet to correct door
hanging problems.
water on the floor of the fridge
This may be due to the defrost drain being
blocked. The drain may be cleared by
carefully pushing the special plastic plunger
provided down the drain hole.
internal light doesn’t work
There may be a power supply problem. The
bulb may need replacing.
If the ideas given above have not solved the
problem, call customer service. Do not
attempt repairs on your own, particularly on
electrical components.

Your fridge freezer contains isobutane
R600a, a gas with high environmental
compatibility but which is also combustible.
When transporting, installing or disposing of
your fridge freezer care should be taken to
ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit
are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the
pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury.
Ensure that the appliance is earthed.
Ensure that the appliance is disconnected
from the mains supply before attempting to
remove light covers.
Ensure that the appliance is disconnected
from the mains supply before cleaning
internally.
Do not store flammable, corrosive or
explosive substances in the appliance.
Do not allow unsupervised children to use
this appliance.
Do not remove items from the icebox with
wet hands or eat lollies directly from the
icebox . Low temperatures may cause ‘freezer
burn.’
Do not place fizzy drinks in the freezer as the
containers may burst.
If there is a power cut, the food in the
icebox in the fridge may start to thaw. To
help prevent this it can be wrapped as if
the fridge is being defrosted. If the power
cut is of such a duration that the food does
begin to thaw it should be used or thrown
away. Do not re-freeze food that has
thawed.
Your cabinet is CFC, HFC and HCFC free and
therefore has no ozone depletion potential
(zero ODP). However, all refrigeration
appliances should be disposed of in a
responsible manner. Ensure that none of the
pipes on the back of the appliance are
damaged prior to disposal. Up to date
information concerning options for disposing
of your old appliance and packaging from
your new appliance can be obtained from
your retailer or local council office.
