HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling
sound when the refrigerant is pumped through
the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped around and you will hear a whir-
ring sound and a pulsating noise from the com-
pressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden
cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous phys-
ical phenomenon. This is correct.
CARE AND CLEANING
Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorized
technicians.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evapo-
rator of the refrigerator compartment every time
the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into
a special container at the back of the appliance,
over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost wa-
ter drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-
partment channel to prevent the water overflowing
and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special
cleaner provided, which you will find already inser-
ted into the drain hole.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the
other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means that
there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation,
neither on the internal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous cir-
culation of cold air inside the compartment, driven
by an automatically controlled fan.
