d
meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest
part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads and fruits etc.
• Do not overload the appliance: the cooling air that circulates and keeps the
appliance cold gets blocked, and pockets of warm air form.
• Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer – let it cool down first.
Freezer Storage Advice
• Store fresh food in air
ght boxes or wrap in bags or foil which are suitable for
freezing.
• Do not allow frozen food to come in to direct contact with food

opera
on limits of the appliance.
Are the doors of the appliance opened f
requently? Once
the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the
room enters the appliance, especially if the humidity
levels in the room are very high. The more frequently the
door is opened in humid cond
ons the more chance of
the build up of moisture.
The temperature within the
appliance is too cold.
Increase the working temperature by adjus
ng the
temperature to a higher level.
The lowest se
ng/temperature should only be used as a
rapid cool se
ng and
should only be set 2 hours before a
large amount of food is placed in the fridge. If this is not
done the temperature in the fridge compartment could
fall below 0ºC as the compressor will run con
nuously.

and correctly packaged. If it isn’t then it should be
removed immediately or repackaged.
Check for spillages on each shelf, rack and drawer. You
may need to remove the drawers to check that no
spillages have se
led underneath them. As spillages that
have not been cleaned and have been l can cause
smells and unwanted odours.
Check the drainage pipe is not clogged or the drip tray at
the back of the app
liance is full. The pipe can be cleared
by pouring hot water through, but you must ensure the
appliance is turned off, the plug is removed from the
socket and a jug or bucket is in place to catch the flow of
water.

not touching other items.
Bubbling and gurgling sound: • This noise is em
ed as
the coolant fluid flows through the pipes within the
system. This is normal.
Water flowing sound: • This is the normal sound of wate
r
flowing into the drain trough during the defros
ng
process.
If the appliance is oper
noisily (compressor noise):
This is normal. This noise indicates that the compressor is
ope
ng normally. As the compressor is being energized,
it might run a bit more noisily for a short period of
