Unusual noise is normally the result of improper
installation. Under no circumstances must tubing
come into contact with a wall, other furniture or with
other tubing.
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.
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to
the environment in which the unit is located, as well
the specific type of models. Our appliances are in
line with international standards for such appliance
and in line with the latest technical developments.
But please remember that the noise of the
compressor and the coolant circulating in the system
is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING / HYGROMETRY /
VENTILATION
Your unit is designed with an automatic defrost
system. During the “Off-cycle” the evaporator behind
the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The
condensate collects in the drain trough behind the
rear wall of the unit, and part of it flows through the
drainage hole into the drip tray by/above the
compressor. The heat is transferred from the
discharge pipe or compressor and evaporates any
condensation that has collected in the tray. Part of
the remaining water is collected within the unit for
humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct
humidity level inside your unit required by the natural
cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
The appliance is not totally sealed: Fresh air
admission is permitted through the drain pipe. Air is
circulated through the unit by means of a fan / fans
and the hollow shelves.
NOTE:
Frost may be accumulated 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.
