PREPARING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
5
Install all shelves and compartments removed during transport in the correct positions.
Clean the fridge/freezer and accessories to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and
shipping.
The interior light of the appliance will light up when the door is open.
Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and let the refrigerator operate for one hour.
The freezer should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly with a soft hum and no
noise.
Your fridge/freezer is operated by a compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the internal
temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires running in for a period of up to five months.
During this period, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does not represent a fault.
Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after
starting the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.
If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the electricity supply. If the problem persists,
contact your dealer.
To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.
