OPERATION

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an
“OFF” (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness

Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.

The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).

The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:

– room

temperature

– how often the door is opened

– how much food is stored

– position of the appliance

Important

During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather,
if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the
cooling system may operate continuously and the
fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the
knob to a lower number will cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.

Low Room Temperature Switch

To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently
when the room temperature drops below 16°C, the
switch mounted next to the thermostat control should
be switched on.

No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in
this position for any period of time (see page 12 Low
room operation). However should the temperature
rise above 16°C remember to turn the switch off
again.

The freezer compartment

The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.

Freezing fresh food

When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the
thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to
freezing.
When the food is frozen return to the normal
position.

In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 kg.

Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.

Important

In the event of a power cut do not open the door.
The food in the freezer will not be affected if the
power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should
the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen .
