Noises when running
The following noises are typical for freezers:
Clicking: when the compressor starts or stops, there is a clicking sound.
•
Whirring: when the compressor is running, you hear it whirring.
•
Gurgling/babbling: when refrigerant flows into the narrow tubes, gurgling
•
and babbling can be heard. Even after the compressor stops, these noises
continue for a short time.
In case of power failure
If the power failure does not last very long, there is no risk of your food
•
spoiling. However, do not open the door. The operating autonomy of your
appliance is indicated in the product information sheet. This duration is
significantly shortened depending on the load of the appliance.
The appliance will restart with the settings applied before the power failure
•
when the power is restored.
If the power failure is prolonged, transfer the products to another appliance.
•
As soon as you notice that thawing has started, eat the food as quickly as
•
possible.
Important! Any food that has thawed should not be refrozen.
•
In the event of a short-term power failure (less than 5 minutes), in order to
•
protect the compressor, it will not restart immediately after the power is
restored.
