Getting Started
Switching on your Table Top Fridge
1 Before connecting the Appliance to the mains supply make sure that the thermostat control dial is set at
position Off. This is located on the inside the Fridge next to the Ice box.
2 Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to set it to the desired position, bear in mind that the higher the number,
the colder the temperature.
3 To ensure that the Appliance is cool enough to sufficiently chill your food wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
Adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of your Appliance is controlled by a
thermostat. Position 6 makes the Appliance coldest.
Position 1 makes it warmest and Off turns the Appliance Off.
The recommended setting for the Appliance is between 1 and 4 for
colder working environments (ie. during Winter) and 5-6 for hotter
environments. The temperature of the Appliance may not operate
at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or cold room
or if you open the Appliance door often.
Noises inside the Table Top Fridge!
If you have not owned this type of Appliance before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual noises.
Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pro-
nounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of
your Appliance.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Is the Table Top Fridge cold enough?
If you are at all concerned that your Appliance is not being kept cold enough, or you occasionally wish to check the
temperature, you can purchase a Fridge/Freezer thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and
hardware shops. Place the thermometer in the coldest part of your Appliance (located at the back of the fridge,
below the shelf) , where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the correct temperature should be between 0°C and
5°C. See ‘Adjusting the temperature’.
Shopping for chilled foods
Don’t buy it in your lunch hour!
Unless you have an appliance at work to keep the food cold in the afternoon, leaving food in your car or at room
temperature for a prolonged period of time could raise food temperature to dangerous level allowing harmful
bacteria to grow.
Keep chilled foods together
Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep the food cooler.
Use a cool bag
Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep food cold for lon-
ger, but are only for getting chilled foods home, not storing it.
Unwrap as soon as you get home
Always unpack and place chilled foods in the appliance before storing dry food stuffs.
