INFORMATION ABOUT
APPLIANCE NOISE
542149
Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also includes a
compressor (and a fan with some appliances), which generates some noise. The level of
noise depends on installation, proper use, and age of the appliance.
•
After connecting the appliance to the power mains,
compressor operation, or the
sound of fl owing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign of malfunction and it
will not aff ect the useful life of the appliance. In time, appliance operation and this noise
will become quieter.
• Sometimes,
unusual or loud noise
may appear during appliance operation; these are
mostly the result of improper installation:
- The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
- The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.
- Make sure the interior equipment sits firmly in its place and that the noise is not
caused by cans, bottles or other containers placed next to each other.
• Due to the higher workload on the cooling system when the door is opened more
frequently or for a longer time, when a large amount of fresh food is introduced, or
when intensive freezing or cooling functions are activated, the appliance can temporarily
generate more noise.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE
FUNCTIONALITY OF THE APPLIANCE.
Instructions for use of the appliance can also be found on our website at www.etna.nl
