PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Power Saving Tips
•   
Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation.   
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example).• Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
• Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
•   Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. 
You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
•    Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. 
The shorter time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer.

You can hear a liquid babbling in the appliance
• You did not seal the food.
• Check food are covered and ensure the cold inlet is clean.
There is a bad smell inside the appliance
• Is the air outlet on the appliance plugged up?
• Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.
