6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 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.

6.2 Hints for energy saving

• Eco mode / default setting preserves
frozen foods while saving energy.
• Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The
internal configuration of the appliance
is the one that ensures the most
efficient use of energy.
• Do not remove the cold accumulators
from the freezer basket.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.

6.3 Hints for freezing

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned food products.

5.5 Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage
time in the event of a power cut or
breakdown.
This shall be placed on top of the frozen
food in the front part.
• For more efficient freezing and
thawing divide food into small
portions.
• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or
polythene. Make sure that the
packages are airtight.
• To avoid increase in temperature of
already frozen food, do not place
fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.
• Lean foods store better and longer
than fatty ones. Salt reduces the
storage life of food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them
out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• It is advisable to show the freezing
date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.
6.4 Hints for storage of frozen
food
• Make sure that the commercially
frozen food products were adequately
stored by the retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the food store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
