ok thanks :)

I was expecting to hear a pump work or something :)

it works differently to a domestic fridge.

heat moves the gas around the absorption pipes, instead of a pump.

ahhhh lovely :)

How long should I expect it to take from normal room temp to get cool inside, with nothing in there??

Regards
