Information about operating noises
To keep the selected temperature constant,
your appliance occasionally switches ON the
compressor.
The resulting noises are quite normal.
As soon as the appliance has reached the
operating temperature, the noises
automatically reduce in volume.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor
(compressor). When the motor switches ON,
the noise may briefly increase in volume.
The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is
emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through
the pipes.
The clicking noise can always be heard
when the thermostat switches ON/OFF the
motor.
A clicking noise may occur when
- the automatic defrosting system is active.
- the appliance is cooling down or warming
up (material expansion).
If these noises are excessively loud, the
causes are probably not serious and are
usually very easy to eliminate.
- The appliance is not level - Use the height-
adjustable feet or place packing under the
feet.
- The appliance is not free-standing - Please
move the appliance away from kitchen
units or other appliances.
- Drawers or shelves are loose or stick -
Please check the detachable components
and, if required, refit them.
- Bottles and/or receptacles are touching
each other - Please move bottles and/or
receptacles away from each other.
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not operate when
switched on, check;
• That the plug is inserted properly in the
socket and that the power supply is on. (To
check the power supply to the socket, plug
in another appliance)
• Whether the fuse has blown/circuit breaker
has tripped/main distribution switch has
been turned off.
• That the temperature control has been set
correctly.
• That the new plug is wired correctly, if you
have changed the fitted, moulded plug.
If the appliance is still not operating at all
after above checks, contact the dealer from
whom you purchased the unit.
Please ensure that above checks have been
done, as a charge will be made if no fault is
found.
