6.5 Operating noise
The refrigerator is cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset
temperature inside the refrigerator section, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level
of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a
humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. Another normal refrigerator
operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is
perfectly normal and does not mean that the appliance is malfunctioning. If it is over-loud, there may be
other causes. In this case, check that:
- The refrigerator is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is in
operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate;
- The drawers, shelves and door boxes are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit correctly;
- Bottles and containers on the various shelves are stable and not touching:the vibration due to
operation of the compressor may generate some noise;
- Do not place kitchen units or other appliances so that they are touching the refrigerator.
6.6 Identifying and Dealing with Malfunctions
Your new refrigerator is designed and built to strict quality standards. This section is intended to enable
you to identify the origin of any malfunctions which may occur before contacting the Smeg After-Sales
Service.
6.7 Changing the inside light bulb
Before changing the bulb, make sure
that the light has not stopped working
simply because the part inside the lamp
socket has become loose. In all cases,
whether you wish to check that the
socket is connected correctly or change
the bulb, for safety reasons the plug
must be removed from the power
socket.(It may be useful to remove the
shelves for easier access).
Unscrew the bulb to remove it from the socket. Replace the bulb with another having the same
characteristics (LED S25-E14, max 1.4 W), screwing the new one into place.
