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

- 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

General warnings

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.

The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION! Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.

Periodic cleaning

CAUTION! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the appliance.

CAUTION! Do not damage the cooling system.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

- Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.

1. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator 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 water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
