natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches on
or off.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run

accumulators from the freezer basket.
