Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Connect the unit to the mains supply. Adjust the
thermostat control to the desired position. Bear
in mind that the higher the number, the lower the
temperature. Position 3 is the recommended setting
when operating at normal room temperature
(between 16°C and 38°C). Position 0 turns the unit
off.
2. 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.
3. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently
chill your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with
food.
4. 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 an average of 5°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 6 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.

A high temperature setting may accelerate food to turn bad, hence increase food waste.
Therefore for optimum food preservation, a middle temperature setting is generally the
most safe and suitable.
