Normal Operating Sounds
¥ You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
¥ When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring
sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
¥ A thermostat controls the compressor, and you
will hear a faint ÕclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in
and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator.
¥ Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
¥ Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your refrigerator as short as possible.
¥ Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
¥ Do not store food uncovered.
¥ Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean, refer to Maintenance and Cleaning.
¥ Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty
food, salt reduces the storage time.
¥ Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airlight seal .
Energy Saving Advice
¥ Do not install the appliance close to sources of
heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
¥ Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
appliance are not obstructed.
¥ Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.
¥ Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit.
¥ Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
¥ Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
