Practical tips and notes

Freezing

•Always leave food to thaw in a container that allows the thawing water to run off.

•Do not exceed the maximum allowable freezing capacity when freezing fresh food (see the section "Freezing")

•Do not give children ice-cream and ices directly from the freezer.

The low temperature may cause cold burns on lips.

•Never re-freeze defrosted food; defrosted food must be consumed within 24 hours. Only food that has been cooked can be refrozen.

•Do not take out frozen food with wet hands.

•Store only fresh and impeccable food.

•Always use appropriate packaging material to avoid odour penetration or degradation of the food.

•Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given on the packaging.

•Freeze cooked food in small quantities. This ensures rapid freezing and maintains the quality of the food.

•Do not freeze liquids in tightly closed bottles or containers.

The bottles/containers may burst at low temperatures.

•Carry pre-frozen food in suitable bags and place it in your freezer as soon as possible. Always defrost food in the fridge compartment.

Normal operating noises

Various functional noises are completely normal due to the operation of the cooling system of your appliance;

•Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside the cooling system. These noises can still be heard for a short period of time after the compressor shuts off.

•Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises are caused by the expansion and contraction of the inside walls or some components inside the cabinets.

•Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched humming noises are caused by the compressor. These noises are slightly louder at the start-up of the compressor and reduce when the appliance reaches the operating temperatures.

Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and noises make sure that;

•Your refrigerator is standing level on all four feet.

•Your refrigerator is not in contact with the walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets and furniture.

•Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator are not touching and hitting each other.

•All shelves and bins are mounted correctly inside the refrigerator cabinets and doors.
