3.8 Noises during operation
The appliance compartment is cooled by
means of a compression system. In order to
maintain the preset temperature inside the
appliance compartment, the compressor
comes into operation in response to the
level of cooling required, and may operate
continuously if necessary. When the
compressor starts to function, it creates a
buzzing noise which generally diminishes in
intensity after a few minutes.
Another normal operating noise of the
appliance is a gurgling due to the coolant
flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This
noise is normal and does not indicate an
appliance malfunction. If it becomes too
loud, this may mean that there are other
causes. Checks must then be made to
ensure that:
• the appliance is properly levelled on the
floor and does not vibrate when the
compressor is in operation: if this is not
the case, adjust the feet supplied with the
appliance;
• Bottles and boxes are stable and not
touching each other: otherwise, the
vibration resulting from the compressor's
operation could cause a certain amount
of noise;
• Do not place the appliance in such a
way that it is in contact with furniture or
other household appliances.
3.9 What to do if...
The appliance does not work:
• Make sure that the appliance is plugged
in and that the main switch is turned on.
The compressor starts to function too often
or functions continuously:
• The room temperature is too high.
• The sliding doors are being opened too
often or for too long.
• The sliding doors do not seal shut when
closed.
• Check that the back of the appliance is
properly ventilated and that the
condenser is not too dirty.
Excessive ice or condensation has built up
inside the appliance compartment:
• The sliding doors are being opened too
often or for too long.
• Hot beverages have been placed inside
the appliance compartment.
• The thermostat is set at a too low
temperature.
The appliance compartment is not
sufficiently cold:
• The thermostat is set at a too high
temperature.
• The sliding doors are being opened too
often or for too long.
• The sliding doors do not seal shut when
closed.
