Leveling the Fridge/Freezer
If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and
may cause you Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly. Once the Fridge/Freezer is placed in its
final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.
Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the Fridge/Freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse
with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy
water and dry completely before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. The external parts of the
Fridge/Freezer can be cleaned with wax polish.
Before plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the
Fridge/Freezer.
Before switching on!
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30
minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.
Before filling your Fridge/Freezer
Before storing foods in your Fridge/Freezer, turn the Fridge/Freezer on and wait for 24 hours,
to make sure it is working properly and to allow the Fridge/Freezer to fail to the
correct temperature.
Switching on your Fridge/Freezer
1 Before connecting the Fridge/Freezer to the mains supply position. The
Thermostat control dial is located inside the Fridge compartment.
2 Turn the thermostat knob to the
“4”position and turn on electricity. The compressor and the
light inside the refrigerator will begin to work.
3 Wait 24 hours before placing food into the Fridge/Freezer, the temperature inside your
Fridge/Freezer will then be cool enough to chill and freeze foods sufficiently.
Adjusting the temperature
1. The temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartment is controlled by the
temperature controller installed on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment. We strongly
recommend you use a freezer thermostat to check that the temperature is below -18
centigrade before loading any food. This can take 2 - 3 hours.
2. The marks on the knob are the temperature grades, NOT the exact degrees of temperature.
“0” is “OFF” and “7” represents the lowest temperature.
3. Please start with the knob set to position
“4”. Use a suitable thermometer to check the
temperature after two hours. The refrigerator temperature should be set between +2ºC and
+5º and the freezer will vary between -18 and -25 degrees centigrade over a typical cycle. To
reduce the refrigerator temperature turns the knob towards
“7” and check after one hour.
NOTE: The Fridge/Freezer may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly
hot or cold room or if you open the Fridge/Freezer door too often.
