Operation and Controls

NORMAL SOUNDS

The unit is cooled by a compressor. The compressor pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing

operating noise

. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure

are unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor comes on. It be-

comes quieter as the operating period continues.

The following noises are normal and occur from time to time:

• Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance's coils,

• Humming noise made by the compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is

switching on.

• Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature vari-

ations,

• Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the refrigerator cabinet.

• Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation

• Where the unit is installed in open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be

heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.
