Cooling of refrigerator-freezer appliances is 
provided by compressor cooling system (for certain 
appliances also the fan). Operation of this system 
results in certain noise, the intensity of which 
depends upon the installation, correct use, and age 
of the appliance.
• 
After starting the appliance, the operation of 
the compressor (the refrigerant fl ow) may be 
somewhat louder. This does not mean that 
something is wrong with the appliance, neither 
has it any infl uence on the lifetime of the 
appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced and 
eventually subsides.
• 
Sometimes the appliance produces unusual and 
stronger noise
 which is rather unusual for the 
appliance. This noise is often the consequence of 
inadequate positioning of the appliance:
The appliance should be placed on a fl at and 
fi rm base.
It should not touch the wall or adjacent kitchen 
units standing next to it.
-
 Check whether the accessories in the interior 
of the appliance are placed correctly in their 
positions; also check the bottles, tins and other 
vessels that might touch each other and rattle.
   THE MANUFACTURER RESERVES THE RIGHT 
TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO 
IMPACT TO THE FUNCTIONAL OPERATION OF 
THE APPLIANCE.
