The fridge requires space around the casing for
efficient cooling and operation. The minimum
clearances are shown in Figure 3.
The refirgerator must be installed on a firm flat and
level surface for it to work quietly and efficiently.
Switching on
Plug the appliance into a nearby power socket and
switch on. The thermostat control (Figure 4) is
positioned inside the fridge by the light. Turn the
control to a half-way position on the dial and leave
the appliance running with the door closed for
approximately 2 hours. This will allow the inside
temperature to stabilise.

Temperature control
The temperature of the fridge is best maintained
around 0°C to + 5°C. Avoid setting the thermostat
too high otherwise this may reduce the temperature
to a point at which certain fresh foods may begin to
freeze. The temperature scale runs from 1, the
warmest setting, to 5, the coldest. The 0 position is
an OFF setting which can be used when the
refrigerator is standing empty. The fridge has an
automatic defrost cycle. Droplets of condensation
or ice particles on the back wall of the fridge are
normal.
When storing food in the fridge keep food away
from the rear wall. To allow free circulation of cold
air don’t pack food too tightly on the shelves and
never put hot food in the fridge.
Notes on operation
During normal operation the following noises may
be heard:
O
Stifled murmur from compressor when it is
working.
O
Soft gurgling from the refrigerant flowing
through the cooling system.
O
