•
Clean the condenser (rear of the freezer) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing
efficiency;
•
If the freezer is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off.
Operating noise
•
The freezer is cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset
temperature inside the freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response
to the level of cooling required and may operate continuously if necessary. When the
compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a
few minutes.
•
Another normal refrigerator operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing
through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is perfectly normal and does not mean that the
appliance is malfunctioning. If it is over-loud, there may be other causes. In this case, check
that:
-
the freezer is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is
in operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate;
-
The drawers and shelves are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit correctly;
