• A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out. Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator: • Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids. • Do not store food uncovered.
The electronics start the defrosting cycle in the refrigerator every time the compressor stops. The water collects in the discharge trough at the back wall of the refrigerator, and is fed through the discharge opening in the catch tray at the compressor where it is evaporated. Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser reduces cooling performance and increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Replacing the Light Bulb Warning! Danger of electrical shock! Before replacing the light bulb switch appliance off and remove the mains plug.
