and wait at least 2-3 hours before connecting it
to the electrical system. Before inserting the
plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:
• The socket is earthed and in compliance with
the law.

ENERGY SAVINGS
For better energy savings, we suggest:
• Installing the appliance away from heat
sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and
in a well ventilated room.
• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to
avoid increasing the internal temperature and
therefore causing continuous functioning of the
compressor.
• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure
proper air circulation.
• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice (see
DEFROSTING) to facilitate the transfer of cold.
• ln case of absence of electrical energy, it is
advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
• Open or keep the doors of the appliance open
as little as possible
•
Avoid
adjusting
temperatures too cold.
• Remove dust present on the rear of the
appliance (see CLEANING).
AVOIDING NOISES
During its operation, the refrigerator emits
some absolutely normal noises, such as:
• HUMMING, the compressor is running.
• RUMBLINGS, RUSTLINGS and HISSING, the
refrigerant is flowing through the tubes.
• TICKS and CLICKS, the operation shutdown of
the compressor.
Small measures to r ed uce the vibration nois es:
• Containers touch each other: Avoid contact
between containers and glass recipients.
• Drawers, shelves, bins vibrate: Check the
proper installation of internal accessories.
