Moving Your Appliance:
1. Remove the contents.
2. Securely tape down all shelving inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
Energy-Saving Tips:
 The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
 Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot.
Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
 Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
Troubleshooting
When using this appliance, you may come across some problems that in many cases
result from improper handling and can easily be eliminated.
The appliance fails to operate after being connected to the power source.
 Check whether the power supply is active.
The compressor is running continuously.
 The door was opened frequently or it was left open too long.
 The door is not properly closed (the door may sag or the gasket may be dirty or
damaged).
 The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time.
 There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser. (Assure
there is adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the
condenser.)
Noise
 Cooling in refrigerating appliances is enabled by the refrigeration system with a
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where
it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
 During the operation of the compressor, the noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal
condition and has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
 After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant
flow may be louder. This does not mean that something is wrong. Gradually the
noise is reduced.
 Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This noise
is often a consequence of improper placement of the unit. (The unit should be
placed and leveled firmly on a solid base and it should not touch the wall or
cabinets standing next to it.)
