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. 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 phenom-
enon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches off,
you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regula-
tor. This is correct.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open lon-
ger than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Tempera-
ture Regulator is set to low temperature and the ap-
pliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run con-
tinuously, 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.

Care and cleaning

Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cool-
ing unit; maintenance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm wa-

• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to en-
sure they are clean and free from debris.

• 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
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 cov-
ered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
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 aluminium foil or poly-
thene 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.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/
or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the
interior as this will damage the surface and leave a
strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at
the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation
will improve the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling
system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain
chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in
