Check that ;

• The thermostat setting is on “•” position ,

• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know

which is working into the same socket.

Check that ;

• You have not overloaded the appliance ,

• The doors are closed perfectly ,

• There is no dust on the condenser ,

• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

If there is noise ;

The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight

noise(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is

quite normal. If these sounds are different check that ;

• The appliance is well leveled

• Nothing is touching the rear.

• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator ;

Check that ;

The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged(Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain

hole)

Recommendations

• W hile power cut, to prevent any compressor problem you should plug out the

refrigerator. You should delay pluging in 5 – 10 minutes after you power supply.

• If you plug out the refrigerator for a reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. It

is important for avoiding damage to refrigerator’s components.

• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets

or icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the

compressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a

defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.

• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the

thermostat to “ ” position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open

to prevent humidity and smell.

• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please

consult to the nearest Authorised Service.
