Beverage Center Refrigerator Instruction manual FBC20

It’s Not Unusual
If your unit exhibits any of the following behavior patterns, you need not be overly
concerned. They are part of normal operation.
• If the surrounding temperature is unusually high, the unit may “sweat” on the
sides and doors. Just wipe off the unit with a clean cloth.
• If you hear the sound of gurgling water in the unit, it is the refrigerant flowing.
This sound can also be heard when the unit stops operating.
• When the unit is operating, it may feel warm. This is not abnormal.
• When too much food is stored at one time, it is normal for the compressor to run
for a long time, then stop.
• In summer, the warm surrounding temperature causes the compressor to run for
long periods so as to maintain the ideal temperature inside the unit. This is a
normal condition.
If you do notice a problem, first check this manual. If the problem continues, contact the
vendor. Never try to dismantle or repair the unit yourself.
