Did you put food with a high water content near the coldest part of the refrigerator.

You can hear unusual noise or sounds

Check that the floor is level and stable.

Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?

Has anything dropped behind or under the appli- ance?

Is the noise from the compressor in the appli- ance?

A “ticking” sound may be heard from inside the appliance, but this is normal. It is caused when the various accessories contract or expand.

The front corners and sides of the freezer / refrigerator are hot.

Heat pipes are installed in the front corners of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

Condensation can result from leaveing the unit’s door open for too long or storing unwrapped food with a high water content when outside tempera- ture and humidity levels are high.

You can hear water babbling in the refrigerator

The babbling is caused by the refrigerant circulat- ing in the unit.

There is a bad smell in the freezer/refrigerator

You did not wrap food with a strong smell proper- ly, or you have left something in the refrigerator for too long.

Always wrap food with a strong smell so that it is airtight. Always throw away food that has gone off.

Frost forms on the wall of the freezer

Is the air inlet/outlet blocked?

Always allow sufficient space between the food items for air to circulate efficiently.

Is the door closed properly?
