Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
Important! The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed. The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local Service
Force Centre.
Warning! A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure
that it is disposed of safely.
Noises During Operation
The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:
Clicks
Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.
Humming
As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.
Bubbling/Splashing
When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.

Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low
Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.
Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.
Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a
Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant
