3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
• When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on.
4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within
the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running
or not which is quite normal.
5. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed
to be warm to avoid condensation.

operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to
excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
