HINTS AND TIPS
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.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
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 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.
• 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.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours no further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
