important Decongestant settings (position “3” or “4", with high ambient temperature (e.g. summerhouse days), the compressor may operate continuously, Compressor infarction operate continuously to keep the temperature down inside the appliance when the outside ambient temperature is very high. Automatic defrosting of the refrigerator compartment ceases {see also section “Defrosting”). Frost formation on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment therefore increases significantly.
Storing tall packs: T Remove the front part of the glass half-sheaf and place it in another position Fig. 12). This creates space for storing tall packs on the shelf below. Fig. 12 Models with plastic shelves £ A sheaf must always be fitted in the bottom guides immediately above the fruit and vegetable containers, Leave the shelf in this position to keep fruit and vegetables fresh longer.
Fig. 13 Food symbols/date cards {some medals only) On the front of the drawers, there are symbols representing various types of food (Fig. 14). The numbers indicate the storage time, in mantes, for these foods. The longer or shorter times will apply according ta the quality of the food and the way in which it has been handed before freezing. For foods with a high fat content, the shorter time will always apply, Some models are supplied with markers for affixing to the front of the drawers.
For physical reasons, different temperature zones are formed inside the refrigerator compartment. The coldest zone is on the bottom shelf, just above the fruit and vegetable containers. The warmest zones are the top shelves and the door shelves. The following is an example of the most suitable places to store food Fig. 185). Fig. 15 Advice: Cover or wrap all food before placing it in the refrigerator compartment.
Warning! The temperature in the freezer compartment must be ~18°C or less before loading food for freezing. Check the temperature with a thermometer. ~ Do not freeze more than the quantities indicated on the rating plate. The quantity for freezing is the maximum quantity of fresh food which may be frozen in 24 hours. If you wish to freeze fresh food several days running, reduce the quantity the maximum quantity shown on the plate.
‘Warning! When ready-frozen food is placed in the freezer, the temperature inside the compartment must already have reached ~18°C. Check the temperature inside the compartment with & thermometer.

01 Rice a year, taking great care, clean the condenser on the back of the appliance with vacuum cleaner or soft brush. Note: Any dust deposits on the condenser significantly reduce the efficiency of the appliance, with consequent increase in electrical energy consumption. consumption 3 Avoid positioning the appliance close to cookers, radiators or other heat sources. When the ambient temperature is high, the compressor always operates more frequently and for longer.
Problem Possible causes and remedies The appliance is cooling too much The temperature setting is too low. Turn the thermostat knob to a warmer setting. After first switching on or after having changed the temperature setting, the compressor does not start to aerate immediately. — This is normal; it is not a fruit, The compressor will start up in a short while, The compressor operates continuously The temperature may be on tao cold a setting.

The following noises are typical of refrigerating appliances: Chick A click can be heard when the compressor starts up or stops. Humming A humming sound is heard whilst the compressor is operating. Bubbling/gurgling If the refrigerant is flowing through very small diameter pipes, a bubbling or gurgling sound will be heard. This continues for a few . moments even after the compressor has stopped.
Refrigerant Cooling circuit Evaporator Compressor Condenser Liquids which are able to produce a cooling effect are called refrigerants. Their billing point is relatively low; it is sufficiently low for the heat contained in foods stored in the refrigerating appliance (o cause the refrigerant to boll and therefore evaporate. The closed circuit system which contain the refrigerant. The cooling circuit consists principally of the evaporator, compressor, condenser and pipes.
