• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy-efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and consuming more energy.
• Do cover or wrap the food particularly if it has a strong flavor.
• Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (AllTypes)Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use dates suggested by manufacturers.

Hints for freezing

• When first starting up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch the food that is already frozen to avoid the temperature rise of the latter.
• Iced products if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package to keep track of the storage time.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

● Compressor running noises.

● Air movement noise from the small fan motor in the freezer compartment or other compartments.

● Gurgling sound similar to water boiling.

● Popping noise during automatic defrosting.

● Clicking noise before the compressor starts.

Other unusual noises are due to the reasons below and may need you to check and take action:

● The cabinet is not level.

● The back of the appliance touches the wall.

● Bottles or containers fallen or rolling.

The motor runs continuously

The temperature inside is too cold| Increase the temperature by following the“Display controls” chapter.

Doors can’t be closed easily

| Check whether the top of the refrigerator is tilted back by 10-15mm to allow the doors to self-close, or if something inside is preventing the doors from closing.

Water drips on the floor

| The water pan (located at the rear bottom of the cabinet) may not be properly levelled, the draining spout underneath the top of the compressor depot may not be properly positioned to direct water into this pan, or the water spout may be blocked. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall to check the pan and spout.

Check if the refrigerator is power-off for a long time, this may cause the ice in the bucket to melt into water, and flow to the floor.

The light is not working
