Before Switching On

Before using your appliance, add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to warm 
water and with a damp cloth wipe down all parts of the new appliance, then 
repeat the process with a clean damp cloth and dry.

(ensure the appliance is 

not connected to the power when performing this task).

Remove all transport tapes and foam protection pieces . Clean the interior with 
a cloth dampened in lukewarm soap and water. Wipe with clean water and 
wipe dry.

There may be an odour when you first switch on the appliance, it will disappear 
when the appliance starts to cool.

When the appliance has been positioned, adjust the feet to ensure the unit is 
stable. This is essential to ensure quiet running and proper door opening 
/closing.

Connect to the electrical socket but do not switch the power to the refrigerator 
on for at least 3 hours. The coolant within the product needs time to settle after 
it has been transported and put in to position, failure to do this will affect the 
cooling performance of your appliance. 

Once the appliance has settled, locate the thermostat dial on the product and 

set to “Mid" position and switch on the power. The compressor will begin to 

work. Close the door.

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped 
to the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the 
appliance. When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring 
sound or pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of the 
compressor, and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out (this is 
normal).

To save energy, you should minimize the frequency and duration of door 
opening.
