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. Energy Saving Advice Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer compartment. Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge compartment before being transferred to the freezer compartment. 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. Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your appliance: Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid. Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer compartment immediately. To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows: 1. Remove any food from inside the ****-star compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place. Turn the thermostat knob to position << 0 >>. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard underneath the bowl as protection). Remove any loose pieces of ice as soon as possible. Check the ambient temperature is within the appliances operating limits of 16 °C to 32 °C. Check that the thermostat control knob is turned to the correct setting relative to ambient conditions. Set the thermostat control knob to a lower position. Check nothing is preventing the door from closing. Check the door gasket is intact and clean. Check if the appliance stands stable (all four feet should be on the floor). The temperature in the appliance is too high If after the above checks your appliance still does not operate correctly, contact your local Service Force Centre.
