operation
switching on your unit
1. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply make sure
that the thermostat control dial is set at position
0
. Connect
the mains cable to the mains socket.
2. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired position,
bear in mind that the higher the number, the lower the
temperature. Position
2
or
3
or
4
is the recommended setting
when operating at normal room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C).
3. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly
cold room, or if you open the door often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill your food, wait 24 hours before filling it
with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold enough and wish to check the
temperature, you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available from
most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the thermometer in either the fridge or freezer
compartment and leave overnight. The correct temperature for the fridge compartment should
be at the recommended 0-8°C. The correct temperature for the freezer compartment should be
-18°C or lower.
adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position is
between
1
to
4
for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between
5
to
7
for hotter
environments. Please adjust according to the environment.
noises inside the unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but
you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
tips for keeping food in the unit
• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all parts
of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the
internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the doors.
We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take food out.
