regulate performances that switch on and off
automatically.

• Leveling the appliance and installing it on an even
surface
• Separating and avoiding contact between the
appliance and furniture.

placed.

with each other.
Some of the functional sounds you might hear:

for the first time or after a long pause.
• A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters into
the pipes.
• Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start
working.
• A cracking sound when compressor starts or when
ready ice drops into ice box abrupt clicks when
