CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING
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 Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of
the system due to the circulation of air.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Has the food been properly packaged? Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the
refrigerator?
• Are the doors of the refrigerator opened very frequently? When the door is opened, the humidity found in the
air in the room enters the refrigerator. Especially if the humidity rate in the room is too high, the more frequently
the door is opened the faster will be the humidification.
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
• Is your fridge on a level surface?
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.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• The compressor protection thermal fuse will cutout after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the
appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilised. This is quite normal, and the fridge will
restart after 4 or 5 minutes.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or ice may occur on the
rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There
is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the ice is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to
Part 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• 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

CHAPTER -7: TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1. Always allow foodstuffs to cool before storing in the appliance.
2. Thaw food in the fridge compartment, this helps save energy.
3. Energy consumption of your appliance is declared without drawers and fully loaded in freezer compartmant.
4. For saving energy, do not use volume between the load
