Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which do not affect its

correct operation.

Sounds, which can be easily prevented:

l

noise caused by the appliance which is not level ­ adjust the position with the adjustable turn­

in front feet. Alternatively, place pads made of soft material under the rear rollers, especially

when the appliance is placed on tiles.

l

touching the adjacent piece of furniture ­ move the refrigerator away.

l

creaking of the drawers or shelves ­ take out and put back the drawer or shelf.

l

sounds of clinking bottles ­ move bottles apart.

Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the thermostat, compressor

(switching on) and cooling system (thermal expansion and contraction of the radiator caused

by flow of the cooling agent).
