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.
• Do not remove the freezer blocks from
the freezer basket.
Hints for freezing
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned food products.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing
divide food into small portions.

To insert a shelf back to the appliance:
1. Place the shelf on the runners.
2. Pull the shelf in lifting up its back.
• 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.
• Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones. Salt reduces the storage life of
food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them out
of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• It is advisable to show the freezing date
on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
• Make sure that the commercially frozen
food products were adequately stored
by the retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the food store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
• Do not store glass containers with liquids
in the freezer compartment because they
may break.
