Noises inside the Freezer!
If you have not owned a freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual noises. Most of these are
perfectly normal, but 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
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Is the Freezer cold enough?
A few days after you start using your Freezer you may wish to check that it is running at the correct temperature.
You will need a special Freezer thermometer available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.
The temperature should be -18˚C or lower.
Indicator Lights
ORANGE - MAINS POWER ON
This light glows continually when
electricity is being supplied to the Freezer.
If the light goes out, check:
That the plug has not been removed
accidentally.
That the switch on the electricity socket
is turned on.
That the fuse in the plug has not blown.
Try another household appliance, such
as a lamp, in the socket.
If all the above are in order, the orange
lamp bulb may have blown. Call your
Customer Service Department if this is
the case.
