NOTICE

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda.

Motor protection delay

This model is provided with a motor protection control system. Therefore, if the compressor does not start immediately upon installation, do not worry as it will start automatically after approximately 8 minutes.

This is also what will happen every time the power supply is interrupted, both due to a power failure or should you switch it off yourself (to clean or defrost your freezer, for example).
