What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly ;
Check that ;
• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The doors are closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
If there is noise ;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise(bubbling
sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If these
sounds are different check that ;
The appliance is well levelled ,
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator ;
Check that ;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged(Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole)
The front sides of the refrigerator may get warm. This is a normal condition. This are-
as designed to prevent the condensation and this has no negative effect on energy
consumption.
Recommendations
• While power cut, to prevent any compressor problem you should plug out the refrigerator.
You should delay plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after you power supply. If you plug out
the refrigerator for a reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. It is important for
avoiding damage to refrigerator's components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets
or icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the com-
pressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting
operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the thermostat
to "•" position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open to prevent
humidity and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
to the nearest Authorised Service.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only
at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use.
If the consumer use the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features,
we emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair
and failure within the guarantee period.
