							It is possible to switch on the device

"DYNAMICAIR Function").The DYNAMICAIR device

and restarts immediately
after the door closing.6.  HINTS AND TIPS6.1  Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant ispumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic
dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the
compressor switches on or off.6.2  Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is setto low temperature and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice
on the evaporator. If this happens, setthe Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in
electricity consumption.
6.3  Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it6.4  Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelfabove the vegetable drawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one
or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be
placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much
air as possible.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should
be stored on the door bottle shelf, or(if equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
