door.If you do need to use it straight away
try not to put to much food inside.
Running in the compressor
Your appliance is operated by a compressor,
which maintains the appliance internal tem-
perature.For the first few months the com-
pressor has to work a little harder and may
result in more noise than usual.
* If the appliance is switched off or unplugged,
you must allow 5 minutes before restarting in
order not to damage the compressor.
