Hints and tips
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils
sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance
caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches on or
off.
Hints for energy saving
• Eco mode / default setting preserves fresh and
frozen foods while saving energy.
• Fresh Food Compartment (Fridge): Most
efficient use of energy is ensured in the
configuration with the drawers in the bottom
part of the appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins does not
affect energy consumption.
• Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The internal
configuration of the appliance is the one that
ensures the most efficient use of energy.
• Do not remove the cold accumulators from the
freezer basket.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
temperature control is set to low temperature
and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing frost
or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case,
set the temperature control toward higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting and
to save energy this way.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.

Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids
in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging
and place it on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2
days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on
any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place
in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions
and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if
not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a
polythene bag to exclude as much air as
possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door
bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
Hints for freezing
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned food products.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide
food into small portions.
• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene.
Make sure that the packages are airtight.
• To avoid increase in temperature of already
frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food
directly next to it.
