Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which do not
affect its correct operation.
Sounds, which can be easily prevented:
• noise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position with the ad-
justable turn-in front feet. Alternatively, place pads made of soft material under
the rear rollers, especially when the appliance is placed on tiles.
• touching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.
• creaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer or shelf.
• sounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.
Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the thermostat, com-
pressor (switching on) and cooling system (thermal expansion and contraction of the
radiator caused by flow of the cooling agent).
