4. OPERATION
4.1
Adjusting the Temperature
• The temperature control knob is located on the upper, left corner.
• OFF = power off
• MIN = Least cool temperature setting
•
MED = Normal operation (suggested setting for most situations)
•
MAX = Coldest temperature setting
•
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to
set the thermostat on the coldest setting (MAX). This may cause the compressor to
run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature inside the cabinet.
•
Please give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food.
During initial use or after defrosting, we recommend setting the control to MAX for a
minimum of 2 hours before adding food.
•
The thermostat knob controls the temperature. When the thermostat control knob is
set to OFF, unit will not be running.
4.2
Noise Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant in the cooling system. It has become
more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect
the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant
around the system.
4.3 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
•
Cooked food should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacteria
transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container that is large enough to collect juices and
cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of
the unit are kept cool.
•
To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruits
and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing inside the unit. This will help
to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the frequency of door opening.
