5. HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 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.
5.2 Hints for energy saving

leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.

refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:

The model is equipped with a variable
storage box which is fitted under a door
shelf compartment and can be slide
sideways.

if it has a strong flavour

freely around it

5.4 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.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
• Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as
possible.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should
be stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if
equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic,
if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
