PREPARING THE REFRIGERATOR / FREEZER

5

Install all shelves and compartments
removed during transport and place them in
the correct position.

You are advised to clean the appliance and
accessories before switching the appliance
on for the first time to remove any dust that
accumulated during packing and shipping.
Please clean the water dispenser (select
models only) with an detergent, especially if
there is an odor.

Switch on the appliance for approximately 2
hours before loading it with frozen food for
the first time. Do not load with frozen food
until the freezer temperature is at least 0°F.
If you want to store frozen food as rapidly
as possible, set the temperature control to
the coldest temperature (-14°F) and let the
appliance operate for one hour.
The appliance is preset for normal
operation. We recommend temperatures of
38°F in the refrigerator and -2°F in the
freezer.

The interior light of the appliance will light
up when the door is open.
This interior light will go out when the door
is closed

Your appliance is operated by a
compressor which switches “on and off” to
maintain the internal temperature. When
the compressor is new, it requires running
in for a period of up to five months. During
this period, it may be slightly noisy. This is
quite normal and does not represent a fault.

Store food once the temperature in the
refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few
hours after starting the refrigerator to reach
the proper temperature.

If the appliance does not operate correctly,
check the electricity supply. If the problem
persists, contact your dealer.

To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.
