Helpful hints and tips
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bub-
bling sound when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant
is being pumped around and you will hear a
whirring sound and a pulsating noise from
the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden
cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous
physical phenomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of
the temperature regulator. This is correct.
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 temper-
ature and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this hap-
pens, set the Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic defrost-
ing and so a saving in electricity consump-
tion.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
16
so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.
This compartment is suitable for making and
storing ice-cubes. (You can purchase the nee-
ded ice-cube tray from a specialist shop.)
Important! Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the ice-cube tray from the freezer.
• do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids 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
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.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be thor-
oughly cleaned and placed in the special
drawer(s) provided. When in contact, lemon
juice can discolor the plastic parts of your
fridge. It is therefore recommended to keep
citruses in separate containers.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in alumi-
nium foil or polythene bags to exclude as
much air as possible.
Bottles: these should have a cap and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
