Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying attention
to, which increases the usability of the fresh food
compartment considerably. Rearranging the
shelves is also possible when the door is open at
an angle of 90° .
After opening and closing the door of freezer
vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of
the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after
closing the door - if you want to open it again -
while inner pressure equalises.
Take care of opening the freezer at a position of
thermostatic control so that the inside
temperature can never be warmer than -18°C.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation
of the appliance daily so as to notice possible
failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen
foods.
Normal operating sounds:
A thermostat controls the compressor and you
will hear a faint click when thermostat cuts in
and out.
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sound
when the refrigerant is pumped through the
coils at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round and you will hear a
whirring sound or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
The fridge evaporator (this part cool down the
fridge section) is foamed into the cabinet. The
temperature of this part changing during its
work, and parallel with this its dimensions are
slightly changing, too. These changes might
cause a cracking noise, which is a natural,
harmless phenomenon.
Should you want to check the temperature of
food stored in the refrigerator, place a glass of
water centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper
thermometer with an accuracy of +/- 1°C into it.
If after 6 hours you measure a value around that
seen on the display, the refrigerator works
properly. The measuring shall be performed
under steady-stated conditions (without changing
the load).
If the freezer temperature is measured using a
thermometer, put it between the products since
this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen
products. It is normal that the built-in temperature
display shows a temperature slightly above that
measured in other ways.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given
about how to use the appliance to reach maximum
energy saving and there is environmental
information about the appliance as well.
