12.6 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.
Other normal refrigerator operating noises are a gurgling and a rustling due to the refrigerant flowing
through the pipes in the circuit. These noises are perfectly normal and do not mean that the appliance is
malfunctioning. If they are 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.
12.7 Identifying and dealing with possible malfunctions
Your new refrigerator has been 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 your local
authorised After-Sales Service.
