TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (see diagram) located on the
ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be made from MIN, 1 … MAX, MAX being the
coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat should be adjusted so
that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We
recommend you set the thermostat halfway between the MIN and MAX setting and
monitor to obtain the desired temperature i.e. towards MAX you will obtain a colder fridge
temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such
as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet) which is quite normal.
The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures
may be obtained by adjusting thermostat knob towards MAX position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure
that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must
take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly
after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember each time the door is opened cold
air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore, never leave the door open and
ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed.
BEFORE OPERATING
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry, and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under "Cleaning and care.”
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on.
When the door is open the interior light will come on.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor is running or
not. This is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing
process used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the thermostat knob midway and monitor the temperature to
ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature
Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend checking the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see: Temperature Control and Adjustment).
STORING FROZEN FOOD
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also
can be used to freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the
failure lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked
and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
