Helpful hints and tips Normal Operating Sounds Hints for refrigeration • 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 whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct. • The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomenon. This is correct.
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter; • lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food; • it is advisable to show the use by date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time. Warning! Lolly ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment can cause freezer burns.
