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. � Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.

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 install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. � Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. � Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge. � Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. � Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
