TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND
ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled
by the thermostat knob (Fig. 1) and
may be set at any position between
1 and 5, 5 being the coldest position.
Towards 5 you will obtain a colder
fridge temperature and vice versa.
To switch off the appliance completely:
Turn the thermostat knob to “0” (Zero)
position.
“Closed” setting will keep humidity
inside the salad crisper.
“Open” setting will increase air
circulation thereby reduce humidity in
the salad crisper.
If you wish to store food in the salad
crisper for longer , you should keep
the humidity adjustment knobs in the
closed position.
The average temperature inside the
fridge depends on the following factors:
• Ambient temperature in the room
(seasonal changes)
• Frequency of door opening
• Placing hot food inside the product
• Position of the product inside the
room (being exposed to sun light)
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.
STORING FRESH 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
23 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then
refrozen.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Please
observe
the
following
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 h which is 4.5
kg (11lb)
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of
