How long do I have to wait before I can connect my refrigerator to the power supply?
Before plugging your fridge freezer in and turning it on for the first time, there are a few things you can do to extend its lifespan and get the most out of it.
So, before you get started unpacking, it's worth going through the simple steps in this guide.
Fridges and freezers are full of fluid that’s used to cool the compartments. In transit, your appliance gets shaken around, so it’s best to let everything settle and consider the duration needed to 'let it stand' before you plug it in.
- If transported upright, wait at least an hour before plugging it in.
- If transported on its side, turn it upright and let it stand for at least four hours.
Because you’re going to be storing food in it, it’s a good idea to give it a clean before you use it.
- Clean the interior before use.
- Wipe down with warm water and dishwashing liquid in each compartment.
- Ensure everything is completely dry before placing the compartments back in.
There's probably already a space in your kitchen for your new appliance, but it needs to be placed so that there's enough room for air to flow around it freely.
- Maintain at least 5mm of space around the fridge freezer.
- Place it centrally in the available space.
- Avoid pushing it all the way back against the wall.

- Plug in the appliance.
- During the initial startup, it will take a few hours to reach the optimal temperature.
- Some models may signal with a beep or a green light when it's ready.
Note:
- Now that your fridge freezer is operational, maintain its freshness and cleanliness for an optimal experience.
