1. reduce power consumption.
2.
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.
3.
Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the appliance, otherwise the
4. interior temperature and power consumption will increase.
5.
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.

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.
