Tilt and support the appliance then release the two
screws holding the bottom hinge plate to the corner
of the housing (Figure 4).
Unscrew the foot and refit it to the hole in the
opposite corner of the base of the housing
(Figure 5).
Screw the bottom hinge plate to the opposite
corner of the housing using the screws removed
earlier.
Locate the door on the bottom hinge pivot and
support the door. Screw the top hinge plate into
position using screws removed earlier.
Return the appliance to the vertical position and
check that the door opens and shuts freely. Adjust
upper and lower hinge plates as required. If
necessary, level the unit using the adjustable feet.
Switching on
Plug the appliance into a nearby power socket and
switch on. The temperature control (Figure 6) is
positioned inside the fridge next to the ice box flap.
Turn the control to a half-way position on the dial
and leave the appliance running with the door
closed for approximately 2 hours. This will allow the
inside temperature to stabilise.
Temperature control
The temperature of the fridge is best maintained
around 0°C to + 5°C. Avoid setting the thermostat
too high otherwise this may reduce the temperature
to a point at which certain fresh foods may begin to
freeze. The temperature scale runs from 1, the
warmest setting, to 6, the coldest. There is also an
OFF setting which can be used when defrosting the
ice box or when the refrigerator is standing empty.
The fridge has an automatic defrost cycle. Droplets
of condensation or ice particles on the back wall of
the fridge are normal.
When storing food in the fridge keep food away
from the rear wall. To allow free circulation of cold
air don’t pack food too tightly on the shelves and
never put hot food in the fridge.
Notes on operation
During normal operation the following noises may
be heard:
O
Stifled murmur from compressor when it is
working.
O
Soft gurgling from the refrigerant flowing
through the cooling system.
O
Click from the thermostat switching on and off.
