HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during

operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound

from coils sound when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from

the compressor when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside

appliance caused by thermic dilatation

(a natural and not dangerous physical

phenomenon).

• A faint click noise from the temperature

regulator when the compressor

switches on or off.

5.2 

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to low

temperature and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run

continuously, causing frost or ice on

the evaporator. If this happens, set the

Temperature Regulator toward warmer

settings to allow automatic defrosting

and so a saving in electricity

consumption.

5.3 

Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating

liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly

if it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate

freely around it

5.4 

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene

bags and place on the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer.

• For safety, store in this way only one or

two days at the most.

• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these

should be covered and may be placed

on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: these should be

thoroughly cleaned and placed in the

special drawer(s) provided.

• Butter and cheese: these should be

placed in special airtight containers or

wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene

bags to exclude as much air as

possible.

• Bottles: these need a cap and should

be stored either on the bottle rack or

the door bottle shelf.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic,

if not packed, must not be kept in the

refrigerator.

5.5 

Hints for temperature inside

the refrigerator

A suitable temperature inside the

refrigerator is approxi5° C. It is

normal with higher temperature in the top

of the refrigerator and lower temperature

in the lower part. If the temperature

regulator is set to a too cold temperature,

the ambient temperature is high or if the

appliance is fully loaded the compressor

will run for a longer time. This results in

colder temperature in the lower part of the

fridge due to the cold air that falls down. It

may result in that food with high water

content start to freeze. If too cold, change

to a higher temperature setting.
Do not place any shelves towards the

water drain hole. This can result in too

cold temperatures.
If you want to check the temperature of

food stored in the refrigerator, place a

glass of water centrally in the cabinet, and

put a proper thermometer with an

accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6 hours

the temperature can be monitored. The

measuring shall be performed under

steady-stated conditions (without

changing the load).
