9.5 Practical advice for saving energy

-Install the refrigerator in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and well away from heat sources.

-Do not place hot foods in the refrigerator or freezer sections. Wait for foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them on the shelves;

-Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the compartments from warming up too much;

-Clean the condenser (rear of the refrigerator) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing efficiency;

-On models equipped with intensive cooling and rapid freezing, do not leave these functions activated for longer than absolutely necessary;

-If the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off;

-Thaw frozen foods in the body of the refrigerator in order to exploit the cold stored in the frozen foods, which will be transferred to the refrigerator if this procedure is used.

9.6 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.

9.7 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.

9.8 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 squeeze the cover (in the direction shown by the arrow 1) to remove it from its seat. Extract it (by pulling it in direction 2) and change the bulb (E14, max 15 W).
