Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting
knob (Item 5) located on the ceiling of fridge
compartment. Settings may be made from min, 1 ...
6, max, max being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first
time, the setting knob 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 knob half way 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 setting 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 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 19 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either eaten
immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place
it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.
