CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
• To reduce frost build up never place liquids with unsealed containers in the fridge compartment.
• Allow warn or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps reduce power consumption.
• To avoid frost buildup ensure that nothing is stored touching the back wall.
• The coldest area of the refrigerator is at the bottom. We recommend to use this area to store food that will perish
easily, such as fish, ready meals, baked goods or dairy products. The warmest area is the top shelf of the door.
We recommend you store butter or cheese here.

If your fridge is operating too loudly;
Normal Noises
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise: Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally
Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This
noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blow Noise: Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system
due to the circulation of air.
If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the
compressor, this is normal.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Is the fridge's door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the door is opened.
Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room
is high.
If the door is not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
