Instructions for the User

7.4 Operating noise

The refrigerator and freezer are cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. Another normal refrigerator operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is perfectly normal and does not mean that the appliance is malfunctioning. If it is over-loud, there may be other causes. In this case, check that:

-the refrigerator is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is in operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate;

-The drawers, shelves and door boxes are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit correctly;

-Bottles and containers on the various shelves are stable and not touching: the vibration due to operation of the compressor may generate some noise;

-Do not place kitchen units or other appliances so that they are touching the refrigerator.

7.5 Identifying and Dealing with Malfunctions

Your new refrigerator is designed and built to strict quality standards. This section is intended to enable you to identify the origin of any malfunctions which may occur before contacting the Smeg After-Sales Service.

7.6 Changing the inside light bulb

Before changing the bulb, make sure that the light has not stopped working simply because the part inside the lamp socket has become loose. In all cases, whether you wish to check that the socket is connected correctly or change the bulb, for safety reasons the plug must be removed from the power socket. Use your fingers to remove the cover (in the direction shown by the arrow) so that it exits from its seat. Replace the lamp with an equivalent one (max. power 25 W).
