Normal Noises
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor
operates normally. The Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it starts.
Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the
tubes of the system.
Water flow noise: The normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container
during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in a No-Frost fridge
during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Is the food packed properly? Are the containers dry before being placed in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when
the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more
frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
• Build up of water drops on the rear wall after automatic defrosting is normal (in Static
Models).
If the doors are not opened and closed properly:
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers located properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
• Is your fridge on a level surface?
If the edges of fridge cabinet that touch the door joint are warm:
In hot weather, the surfaces of the joint contact may get warmer during operation of the
compressor. This is normal.
Important notes:
• The compressor protection function will be activated after sudden power breakdowns
or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system will not have
stabilised. Your fridge will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing to worry about.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug
it and clean once defrosting has taken place (see PART 4). Leave the door open to
prevent humidity and smells.

to the nearest authorised service centre.
