Bubbling and burbling sound
o This noise is emitted as the coolant flows through the pipework
within the fridge freezer.
Water flowing sound
o This is caused by water flowing into the evaporating tray during
the defrosting process and can be heard whilst the fridge freezer
is defrosting.
Saving energy when using your fridge-freezer
Installing:
o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct
sunlight or next to an oven or other heat source, the energy
consumption can increase substantially.
o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation
requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy
consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
o Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of
the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
o Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent
that leaves no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to
the efficiency of your appliance.
Usage:
o Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you
have to.
o Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree
can effect the energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to
check the temperature.
o The freezer compartment should operate at -15 to -18 degrees
Celsius. The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 degrees
Celsius.
o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance
(but don’t let it sit at room temperature for too long).
