operation Instructions
switching on the refrigerator
The temperature selector knob is located on the right hand side wall
of the refrigerator interior wall.
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may
be necessary to set the thermostat to the coldest setting ("MAX"
position). This may cause the compressor running continuously in
order to maintain a low temperature inside the cabinet.
When first installed, set the thermostat knob at MED setting. Let the
refrigerator stand to cool down completely before adding food. It is
best to wait 24 hours before adding food.
The thermostat knob controls the temperature. When the thermo-
stat control knob is set to OFF, the refrigerator will not be running.
• OFF setting: Unit Off
• MIN setting: Warmer temperature
• MED setting: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
• MAX setting: Coldest temperature
noise inside the unit
You may notice that your unit makes some noises. Most of these are
perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them.
These noises are caused by the circulation of refrigerant liquid
through the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since
the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not af-
fect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor
working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
tips for storing food in the unit
• Cooked meats and fish should always be stored on a shelf above
raw meat and fish to avoid bacteria transfer. Keep raw meat and
fish in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover
it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around the food, to allow air to circulate inside the
unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, pack or cover the
food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let precooked food cool down before placing it in the unit.
This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, limit the number of
times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the
door when you need to put food in or take food out.
