Operation and Controls
NOTE:
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is lo-cated, as
well the specific type of models. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such ap-pliance and
in line with the latest technical developments. Please remember that the noise of the compressor and the
coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING AND VENTILATION
Your refrigerator is designed with an automatic defrost system. During off-cycle, the evaporator behind the rear
wall of the unit defrosts automatically. Condensation is collected in the drain at the back of the unit and flows
through the drainage hole into the drip tray above the compressor. The heat is transferred from compressor and
evaporates any condensation that has collected in the drip tray. Part of the remaining water within the
refrigerator is collected for humidity purposes.
NOTE:
Frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high
humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
•
Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine cabinet.
•
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation.
•
Where the unit is installed in open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be
heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.
