RRuun nn niin ng g iin n tth hee C Co om mp prreesssso orr::
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
period 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,
