Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The
internal temperature of your unit is controlled by
a thermostat. There are seven settings, of which
position 7 is the coldest and position 0 turns the
unit off.
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 doors
often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to
sufficiently chill and freeze 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 5°C or lower. 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.
