HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during

operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound

from coils sound when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from

the compressor when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside

appliance caused by thermic

dilatation (a natural and not

dangerous physical phenomenon).

• A faint click noise from the

temperature regulator when the

compressor switches on or off.

5.2 

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high

and the Temperature Regulator is set

to low temperature and the appliance

is fully loaded, the compressor may

run continuously, causing frost or ice

on the evaporator. If this happens, set

the Temperature Regulator toward

warmer settings to allow automatic

defrosting and so a saving in

electricity consumption.

5.3 

Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or

evaporating liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly

if it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate

freely around it

5.4 

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable

packaging and place it on the glass

shelf above the vegetable drawer.

Store meat for at most 1-2 days.

• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and

place on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: clean

thoroughly and place in a special

drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions

and garlic must not be kept in the

refrigerator if not packed.

• Butter and cheese: place in a special

airtight container or wrap in an

aluminium foil or a polythene bag to

exclude as much air as possible.

• Bottles: close with a cap and place on

the door bottle shelf, or (if available)

on the bottle rack.
