4. USE INSTRUCTIONS
Temperature setting:
Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature
control is located at the top of the fridge.
The first time you put your appliance into operation, set the thermostat between 2 and
3 and let it run empty for 4 hours before storing food for it to cool sufficiently.
The range of the temperature control is from position "1" the warmest to "4" the coldest.
Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting
between 2 and 3 should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
To tu
rn the refrigerator off, turn the temperature control to “0”.
NOTE:
▪
Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but
does not shut off the power to the refrigerator.
▪
If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before
▪
Restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the
refrigerator will not start.
▪
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize
between adjustments.
Do not leave the door open for too long so that the indoor temperature does not
rise too much.
5. FOOD CONSERVATION
FROZEN AND DEEP- FROZEN FOOD
Your domestic appliance enables you to freeze food, it lowers its core temperature
rapidly and you can therefore keep it longer.
Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more intense that domestic
freezing. The products you purchase from the shops are deep-frozen.
PREPARING FOOD FOR FREEZING
Freezing does not sterilize. It is therefore important to observe some simple
hygiene rules when preparing your food for freezing: wash your hands before
you touch the food and clean the kitchen tools you have just used before using
them again.
Only freeze fresh, good quality food. Refer to the table "Food Freezing Guide" to know
which products you can freeze and how long you can keep them.
Blanch fruit and vegetables before freezing them to preserve their color, smell, taste
and vitamins: plunge them in boiling water for few moments.
