A B 8 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. € 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 energy saving • Do 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 consumption. This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians. The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher. Defrosting of the refrigerator Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
