Temperature control

• The control for regulating the temperature inside the refrigerator (illustrated right) is 

located on the upper right hand side of the compartment (see page 6).

• Position “0” means OFF.
• Turning clockwise in direction will turn the refrigerating unit ON.
• Position “1” means: Highest temperature, warmest setting.
• Position “5” means: Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
• At a low surround ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting “1” should be selected.
• At surround ambient temperatures of around 25°C, select setting “2-3”. If you require a 

lower temperature, select setting “4” or “5”.

NOTE: 

High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on 

the temperature regulator (position 5) can cause the compressor to run continuously. 

Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to 

maintain the low temperature in the appliance.

• The temperature will be affected by: Room temperature, how often the door is opened 

and location of the appliance

• In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be 

considered and some experimentation may be necessary.

NOTE: 

 

If the unit is unplugged, turned off or has lost power, you must wait three to five 

minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, 

the unit will not start.

Fresh food storage

The fresh food (refrigerator) compartment is suitable for short-term storage of fresh food. 

The temperature inside varies depending on the amount of food stored and the frequency of 

door opening. 
In order to maintain good cooling efficiency and save energy, we recommend you do not 

open the door for too long or too often. Do not overload the bar fridge, and keep enough 

space around items for cold air flow. Do not block ventilation openings. 

Normal Operating Sounds

The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:

Clicks:

 Whenever the compressor is switched on or off, a click sound may be heard.

Humming:

 As soon as the compressor is in operation, you may hear it humming.

Bubbling/Splashing:

 When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you may hear bubbling or 

splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise may still occur 

for a short time.
