INFORMATION ABOUT
APPLIANCE NOISE
Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also
includes a compressor (and a fan with some appliances), which generates some
noise. The level of noise depends on installation, proper use, and age of the
appliance.
• After connecting the appliance to the power mains, compressor operation,
or the sound of fl owing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign
of malfunction and it will not aff ect the useful life of the appliance. In time,
appliance operation and this noise will become quieter.
• Sometimes, unusual or loud noises may appear during appliance operation;
these are mostly the result of improper installation:
- The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
- The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.
- Make sure the interior equipment sits firmly in its place and that the noise is
not caused by rattling cans, bottles or other containers placed next to each
other.
• Due to the higher workload on the cooling system when the door is opened
more frequently or for a longer time, when a large amount of fresh food is
introduced or when intensive freezing or cooling functions are activated, the
appliance can temporarily generate more noise.
