•A ticking sound may be heard inside the appliance; this is normal. This sound occurs when the various accessories contract or expand.

The front corners and sides of the appliance are warm and condensation starts to form

•Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to prevent condensation from forming. When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be effective. However, this is not abnormal.

•In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of the appliance when moisture in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the appliance.

You can hear a liquid bubbling in the appliance

•Please note that this noise is caused by the refrigerant circuit and is not a problem.

There is a bad smell inside the appliance

•Do not wrap food with paper.

•Store foods covered and clean the cold inlet.

There is a layer of frost on the surface of stored food.

•Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.

•Is the door fully closed?

Condensation forms on the inside wall of the appliance and around vegetables

•Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high humidity level or the door has been left open for a long time.

•Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.

USAGE PRECAUTIONS

Store food with a high water content at the front of a refrigerator shelf.

Tips Power Saving Tips

Do not store hot food in the appliance until it has cooled.

•If you store cold food, you save on electricity and improve refrigeration.

•Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation.

Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example).

•Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.

•Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.

•Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.

You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.

•Defrost the freezer when ice builds up. A thick coat of ice will impair the transfer of cold to the frozen products, thereby increasing power consumption.

•Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time the door is opened, the less ice will form in the freezer.

•When freezing food or storing it in the freezer, place the food directly on the freezer elements in the top container.
