Defrosting
The Fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off.
The water from the thawing frost is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, fed through the drain hole into the collection compartment in the base, and then evaporated.
Hints and Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
•You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.
•When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
•A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator:
•Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
•Do not store food uncovered.
•Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your refrigerator as short as possible.
•Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
2Energy Saving Advice
