STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that:
1.
The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2.
The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet.
3.
Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
5.
You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
“Due to operation of the fan, overall noise level is slightly higher in comparison to non-
frost free appliances. This is quite normal and is not a fault.”
6.
Set the setting knob half way between 1 and 4.
7.
Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to
be warm to avoid condensation.
8. "Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with
an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment)"
9.
When the freezer reaches the desired temperature the freezer fan will stop. When the
freezer fan is on, the noise will be louder when the freezer door is opened.
10. Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the fan
guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate less efficiently.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat
knob (see diagram) located
on the inner side wall of the freezer compartment. Settings may be made from 1,
2 ... fast freeze, fast freeze being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the
thermostat
knob should be
adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average freezer temperature is no higher than
-18°C (0°F). We recommend you set the knob half way between the 1 and 4 setting.
Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards fast freeze
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.
