1. reduce power consumption.

Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.

There should always be some space between food items for proper air circulation.

Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the appliance, otherwise the

4. interior temperature and power consumption will increase.

Adjust the temperature control to a setting that is acceptable for the storage of the food. This will reduce the power consumption.

DISCONNECTION OF THE APPLIANCE

If unplugging the appliance from the power outlet, please leave at least 5 minutes before re-connection.

CAUTION

1. Power failure

During a power failure, do not put additional food in the appliance and reduce opening the door. If power failure is anticipated beforehand, place several ice cubes into a container and place in the top of the appliance.

2. Power failure during vacation

Before departure of a short vacation, remove any items that could spoil if a power failure occurs, and ensure the doors are closed ﬁrmly. If going on a long vacation, remove all items, clean and wipe dry the internal of the appliance, disconnect the power and leave the doors open.

3. Storage of appliance

If the freezer/refrigerator needs to be switched off for a long period of time (storage), remove all items, unplug the appliance from the power outlet, clean and wipe dry the interior. The door should be wedged open slightly for air circulation in order to prevent unpleasant odours.

SYMPTOM SUGGESTION

Free is not zer/refrigerator operating

· Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly

and that the outlet is switched “ON”.

· Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is

coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power supply.

· Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.

Unusual noise

Compressor seems to run more than expected

· The ﬂow of refrigerant through the pipeline coil could cause

gurgling, similar to water boiling. This is the normal function of the appliance.

· Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water

pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as appliance continues to run.

· I appliance t is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the

starts operating.

· Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take

action. For example, noises may mean that:

- The cabinet is not level.

- The ﬂoor is uneven or weak.

There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the appliance.

- The back of the unit cabinet is touching the wall.

· Is door kept open too long or too often?

· Is control set too cold?

· Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored?

· If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the appliance will need to

run more than normal.

· The appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or

when it has been turned off for a long time.

Temperature in the freezer/refrigerator is too warm

The door will not close

The following cases are not malfunctions:

Moisture may form as condensation on the outside of the appliance during humid conditions. To remove excess moisture, wipe clean.

It is normal that the sides of the appliance will get warm as a result of the refrigeration system operation.

· Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back

and top. Refer to installation instruction on page 5.

· Controlling the temperature 8Refer to “ ” on page .

· You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.
