For better energy savings, we suggest:

Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to

direct sunlight and in a well ventilated room.

Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the

internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functioning of

the compressor.

Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.

Defrost the appliance in case there is ice (see DEFROSTING) to

facilitate the transfer of cold.

ln case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the

refrigerator door closed.

Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible

Avoid adjusting the thermostat to temperatures too cold.

Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance (see CLEANING).

During its operation, the refrigerator emits some absolutely normal noises,

such as:

HUMMING, the compressor is running.

RUMBLINGS, RUSTLINGS and HISSING, the refrigerant is flowing

through the tubes.

TICKS and CLICKS, the operation shutdown of the compressor.

Small measures to r ed uce the vibration nois es:

Containers touch each other: Avoid contact between containers and

glass recipients.

Drawers, shelves, bins vibrate: Check the proper installation of internal

accessories.

NOTE:

The refrigerant gas produces noise even when the compressor is off;

it is not a defect, it is normal.

If you hear a clicking sound inside the appliance, it is normal as due to

expansion of the various materials.
