Helpful hints and tips

Normal operating sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a
bubbling sound when the refrigerant
is pumped through the coils or tubing.
These operating sounds are normal
• When the compressor is on, the refrig-
erant is being pumped around and you
will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat-
ing noise from the compressor. These
operating sounds are normal
• Thermal expansion may cause a sudden
cracking noise. This noise is natural and
not a physical phenomenon
Ideas for saving energy
• 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 consump-
tion

Important! In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power failure that
lasts longer than the value shown in the tech-
nical data under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling).
Defrosting
Prior to being used, deep-frozen or frozen
food can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment or at room temperature, depending
on the time available for this. Smaller pieces
can even be taken directly from the freezer
and cooked from frozen. In this case, cooking
will take a little longer.
Making ice cubes
This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice- cubes.
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 round it
Hints for refrigeration
Tips:
Meat (all types): Wrap meat in food-safe
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.
Pre-cooked food, cold meals etc. These
should be covered and placed on one of the
shelves. Fruit and vegetables: Clean thor-
oughly and place in the designated drawer(s).
Butter and cheese: These should always
be placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or food-safe bags
so that there is as little air as possible in the
package.
Milk bottles: Please always store milk bottles
with a lid and in the bottle rack in the door.
