INFORMATION ABOUT
APPLIANCE NOISE
545436
Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also includes a
compressor (and a fan with some appliances), which generates some noise. The level of
noise depends on installation, proper use, and age of the appliance.
• After connecting the appliance to the power mains, compressor operation, or the
sound of fl owing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign of malfunction and it
will not a ect the useful life of the appliance. In time, appliance operation and this noise
will become quieter.
• Sometimes, unusual or loud noise may appear during appliance operation; these are
mostly the result of improper installation:
- The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
- The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.
- Make sure the interior equipment sits firmly in its place and that the noise is not
caused by cans, bottles or other containers placed next to each other.
• Due to the higher workload on the cooling system when the door is opened more
frequently or for a longer time, when a large amount of fresh food is introduced, or
when intensive freezing or cooling functions are activated, the appliance can temporarily
generate more noise.
