Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker,
dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air
vents are clear.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, as warm air will enter the
cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy
consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from
closing properly.
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits.
• Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as cooked
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.
• The shelves are placed in factory mode this delivers the most energy efficient
usage for this appliance.
Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed.
If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food
without checking it's condition.
• Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
• Fruit and Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up.
• Bread and Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
• Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
• Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.
• Large Pieces of Meat: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly
• Small Joints: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly

Solution
The fridge/freezer doesn't work
Check that the appliance is switched on.
Check that there has not been a power cut.
Check that the plug is not
faulty.
Check that the fuse has not blown.
Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance.
Are there any faults with the socket? For this purpose, try
the plug of your appliance by connecting it to a socket
which you are sure is working.
The temperature inside the
appliance is not cold enough
Check that there is not too much food in the appliance.
Check that the thermostat is set to a suitable
temperature.
Check the Freezer Slider behind the crisper drawer is on
the correct setting.
Check that the appliance is not placed in direct sunlight,
or too near to a heating source.
Check that the ambient temperature is within the
operation limits of the appliance.
Are the doors of the appliance opened frequently? 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 conditions the more chance of
the build up of moisture.
The temperature within the
appliance is too cold.
Increase the working temperature by adjusting the
thermostat to a lower setting.
The
highest setting should only be used as a rapid cool
setting 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 continuously.
The inner surfaces of the
appliance are wet
Caused by condensation
-

carefully.
Smell/odour
Check all
the food and drink that is in the fridge is in date
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 settled underneath them. As spillages that
have not been cleaned and have been left can cause
smells and unwanted odours.
Check the drainage pipe is not clogged or the drip tray at
the back of the appliance 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.

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing door closure.
Check the door compartments and shelves are correctly in
place.
Check the door seal is not warped or torn.
Check the appliance is level.
Unusual noises
Check that the appliance is on a flat, level surface and is
stable.
Check the spacing's around the appliance
and ensure it is
not touching other items.
Bubbling and gurgling sound:
• This noise is emitted as
the coolant fluid flows through the pipes within the
system. This is normal.
Water flowing sound: • This is the normal sound of water
flowing into the drain trough during the defrosting
process.
If the appliance is operating noisily (compressor noise):
This is normal. This noise indicates that the compressor is
operating normally.
As the compressor is being energized,
it might run a bit more noisily for a short period of time.
