Before using your fridge
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it
in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains.
This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This
is normal and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE PART 2.
Thermostat setting
• The thermostat automatically
regulates the inside temperature of
the fridge. By rotating the knob from
position 1 to 5, colder temperatures
can be obtained.
• The “ • “ position shows thermostat
is closed and no cooling will take
place.
• For short-term storage of food in the fridge, you can set the knob between minimum and
medium positions (1-3).
• For long-term storage of food in the fridge, you can set knob to the medium position
(3-4).
Note that: The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often
the door is opened, affects the temperature in the fridge. If required, change the temperature
setting.
• When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food
in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to store
a large quantity of food inside it.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting
in order not to damage the compressor.
