You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up.

Running in the Compressor:

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,

Whether the compressor is running or not, it is normal to hear sounds created by the liquid and gases sealed within the system.
