Information about
operating noises
Operating noises
In order to maintain the pre-set temperature
at a constant level, one or both appliance
compressor switches on from time to time.
The noises that can be heard while it is
running are perfectly normal.
The noise reduces automatically when the
appliance reaches its operating temperature.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor
(compressor). When the motor switches ON,
the noise may briefly increase in volume.
The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is
emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through
the pipes.
The clicking noise can always be heard
when the thermostat switches ON/OFF the
motor.
The appliance is not level
Please level the appliance with the aid of
a spirit level. Use the height-adjustable feet
or place packing under the feet.
The appliance is not free-standing
Please move the appliance away from
kitchen units or other appliances.
Drawers, baskets or shelves are loose or
stick
Please check the detachable components
and, if required, refit them.
Bottles and/or receptacles are touching
each other
Please move bottles and/or receptacles
away from each other.
l Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with
adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight and never put it
near a direct source of heat (radiator, etc.).
l Never block any vents or grilles on the
appliance.
l Allow warm food to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
l Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures
of the frozen products to cool food in the
refrigerator.
l Defrost the freezer when ice builds up. A
thick coat of ice will impair transfer of cold
to the frozen products, thereby increasing
power consumption.
l Do not keep the door of the appliance
open for too long when loading or taking
out food.
The shorter the time that the door is
opened, the less ice will form on the
freezer grids.
l Clean the heat exchanger (black grid) at
the back of the appliance every two years.
Power saving tips
Before cleaning, you should always
unplug the appliance and/or switch off
or disengage the household fuse.
Do not use a steam cleaner. The hot
steam could damage the surface of the
appliance or the electrical components
– electric shock hazard!
It is available to clean the refrigerator once a
month. The freezer should be cleaned every
time it is defrosted.
Ensure that cleaning water does not get into
the control panel or any of the lights. Luke-
warm water with the a little mildly
disinfectant detergent such as washing-up
liquid is ideal for cleaning the entire
appliance, except the door seal. Never use
cleaning agents containing abrasives, acids,
chemical solvents or polishers.
In order to avoid dull areas, you should also
never use cleaners claimed to be without
scouring agents.
Simply clean the door seal with clear water
and dry thoroughly afterwards.
Never clean the freezer grids with any metal
brushes, abrasives or sharp objects as the
protective layer become damaged and
damaged surfaces will rust.
Clean the refrigerator gutter (Fig. 9/B) and
drainage outlet (Fig. 9/A) more frequently to
ensure that defrosting water can always
drain.
To clean frozen food containers, it is easier
to remove them from the appliance (Fig. B).
To remove, pull container outwards until it
stops, push upwards and then remove.
