Your appliance is operated by a compressor

which switches on and off in order to

maintain the internal temperature.

The compressor requires a running in peri-

od of up to 2 months. During this time it

has to work a little harder and may result in

more noise than usual.

Noise levels are also determined as to the

location of the appliance, what is stored

and where the items are placed,
