Chapter 5: Functional Sounds - Bauknecht GKN 17G4 Bedienungsanleitung

5. FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS
Sounds coming from your appliances are normal
since it has a number of fans and engines to regulate
performances that switch on and off automatically.
Some of the functional sounds can be reduced
through
• Leveling the appliance and installing it on an even
surface
• Separating and avoiding contact between the
appliance and furniture.
• Checking if the internal components are correctly
placed.
• Checking if bottles and containers are not in contact
with each other.
Some of the functional sounds you might hear:
A hissing sound when switching on
the appliance for the first time or
after a long pause.
Buzzing sound when water valve or
fan start working.
A gurgling sound when refrigerant
fluid enters into the pipes.
A cracking sound when
compressor starts or when ready
ice drops into ice box abrupt clicks
when compressor switches on and
off.
