Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and
sides of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm –
which is normal.
A cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer
section (in top mount, bottom mount and freezer models)
and behind the crisper in the all-refrigerator models.
This coil cools and removes moisture from the air inside.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator,
as it affects the efficient circulation. If the door is opened
frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the
freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few
days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy
frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed.
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor,
along with other energy-efficient components, which may
make unusual sounds. These sounds simply indicate your
refrigerator is working how it should. They include:
•Compressor running noises;
•Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
•A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
•A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting;
•A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.
Further details can be found on page 17.
TIPS & INFORMATION!

floor in top mount refrigerators (where the freezer
is on top of the fresh food compartment), as this

INITIAL START-UP
The electronic display panel consists of an LCD display
with black backlighting and 6 touch buttons. When the
power is first turned on, the display with backlighting will
come on.
If no buttons have been pressed and the fridge door is
closed the backlighting will turn off after 30 seconds.

NOTE: If no buttons have been pressed for
approximately 60 seconds, there may be a delay of up
to 2 seconds before the display reacts. This is normal
and is to prevent accidental changes to settings.
Controlling the temperature
We recommend that when you start your refrigerator for
the first time, the temperature for the refrigerator is set to
3°C and the freezer to -18°C. If you want to change the
temperature, follow the instructions below. Make only
small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s correct.
Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication if
your freezer is the right temperature, while checking the
temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way
of checking the temperature of the food compartment.
NOTE: When you set a temperature, you set an
average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet.
Temperatures inside each compartment may vary,
depending on how much food you store and where you
place it. High or low room temperature may also affect
the actual temperature inside the refrigerator.
