Information On Appliance Noise - Smeg Fridge-freezer User Manual

Information on appliance noise

Cooling in the refrigerators-freezers is enabled by a cooling system with a compressor (with some
appliances also a fan), which emits a certain level of noise during operation. The level of noise
depends on installation, proper use, and appliance age.
• After appliance startup, the compressor may be somewhat
louder (fl uid noise, noise caused by refrigerant fl owing
through the system). This is not a sign of malfunction and it
will not affect the appliance useful life. Eventually, the level of
this noise will be reduced.
• Occasionally, sudden or louder noise may appear during
appliance operation, which will appear uncommon; these are
mostly the result of improper installation:
- The appliance must be placed horizontally and fi rmly on a solid base.
- The appliance should not be in contact with the wall or adjacent elements.
- Make sure the appliance interior equipment is appropriately fi tted and that the noise is not
caused by vibrating cans, bottles, or other containers in contact with each other.
