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!
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 pronounced 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 in your lunch hour!
Unless you have a 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 longer, 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.
