Using the appliance
This appliance is designed for
domestic use only, specifically for
the storage of edible foodstuffs.
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 16
°
C
and 43
°
C see the rating label.
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e., colder or warmer,
the appliance will not operate correctly.
Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for long
periods, the temperature in the appliance will fall below 0
°
C
and food spoilage may occur.
Before Use
Remove all securing tapes.
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a
little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger.
Dry the appliance thoroughly.
Thermostat Control
Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat in the
fridge section.
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains
supply and setting the thermostat.
•
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside the refrigerator, depending on what number you
have turned the thermostat control knob to.
•
Position <OFF> means that the appliance will not cool.
However the light will still function.
•
Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the
fridge.
•
Position <8> will give you a lower temperature inside the
fridge.
•
Ideally the thermostat should be set to position <3> or <4>.
•
IMPORTANT : The ambient temperature of the room, the
temperature of food and the amount of food that has been
placed in the appliance and how often the door is opened,
will all affect the temperature being maintained by the
appliance.
•
On the maximum setting (position <8>), your fridge will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature and will
increase the energy usage.
There is no need to run your appliance on this setting for
prolonged periods and you should return the thermostat
knob to position <3> or <4>.
The temperature will be affected by :
•
Room temperature
•
How often the door is opened
•
How much food is stored
•
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting, all
these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary
Do not allow children to tamper with
the controls or play with the product.
Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products, wax polishes or products
containing alcohol.
