Operation and Controls
NORMAL SOUNDS
The unit is cooled by a compressor. The compressor pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing op-
erating noise. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are
unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor comes on. It becomes qui-
eter as the operating period continues.
The following noises are normal and occur from time to time:
Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils.
Humming noise made by the compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is
switching on.
Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature varia-
tions.
Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine cabinet.
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation.
Where the unit is installed in open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be heard
more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.
NOTE: An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is lo-
cated, as well the specific type of models. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such appli-
ance and in line with the latest technical developments. Please remember that the noise of the compressor and
the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
