Normal operating noises
Various functional noises are completely
normal due to the operation of the cooling
system of your appliance:
• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises are
caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside the
cooling system. These noises can still be heard for
a short period of time after the compressor shuts
off.
• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises are
caused by the expansion and contraction of the
inside walls or some components inside the
cabinets.
• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched
humming noises are caused by the compressor.
These noises are slightly louder at the start-up of
the compressor and reduce when the appliance
reaches the operating temperatures.
Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and
noises make sure that:
• Your fridge/freezer is standing level on all four
feet.
• Your fridge/freezer is not in contact with the
walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets and
furniture.
• All shelves and bins are mounted correctly inside
the fridge/freezer cabinets and doors.

Practical advice concerning the
reduction of the electricity
consumption
1. Make sure that the appliance is located in well-
ventilated areas, far from any source of heat
(cooker, radiator etc.). At the same time, the
location of the appliance must be done in such a
way that it prevents it to be under the direct
incidence of the sunbeams.
2. Make sure that the food purchased in
refrigerated/frozen condition is placed into the
appliance as soon as possible, especially during
summertime. It is recommended to use thermal
insulated bags to transport the food home.
3. We recommend the thawing of the packets
taken out from the freezer compartment be done
in the refrigerator compartment. For this purpose,
the packet which is going to be thawed will be
placed in a vessel so that the water resulting from
the thawing does not leak in the refrigerator
compartment. We recommend you to start the
thawing at least 24 hours before the use of the
frozen food.
4. We recommend reducing the number of door
openings to the minimum.
5. Do not keep the door of the appliance open
more than necessary and make sure that after
each opening the door is well closed. When doors
are open, warm air enters the fridge/freezer
cabinets and the appliance consumes more
