Operating your Fridge
Page 6
This appliance is designed to keep already cold foods chilled,
not to cool down warm food.
•
Before using your Chest fridge for the fist time, check that:
•
All packing materials and transit protectors have been removed.
•
The appliance is on a flat, level surface
•
The interior is dry and air can circulate freely. Clean the interior as recommended
under “Cleaning and Care”.
•
Insert the plug into a power outlet and switch on the electricity supply. Set the
desired thermostat level. A neon POWER indicator light comes on.
•
The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may give rise to noise,
THIS IS NORMAL.
•
Do not immediately load the appliance when it is switched on.
•
Ensure there is adequate space between each item in the fridge for air circulation.
•
Items stored in the fridge should only be placed in if they are at room temperature.
Do not place hot items in the fridge.
•
Do not store explosive or flammable items in the fridge.
•
Always use plastic containers and bottles for storing food/beverages
•
Avoid placing your Chest Fridge directly alongside any heat source or in direct
sunlight as this will cause it to run for long periods. If located next to a source of heat
maintain the following minimum side clearances:
* From cookers 100mm
* From radiators 300mm
* From freezers or other refrigerators 100mm
•
Ensure that sufficient space is provided around the fridge to allow, obstruction-free air
circulation.
Operation with 240V plug
•
IMPORTANT: Never use more than one energy source at a time
•
Verify that the mains voltage corresponds to the operating voltage specified on the
technical data label at the back of the appliance.
•
If the electrical specifications are correct, place the plug into a wall socket.
•
Turn the 240V thermostat knob (left) clockwise to position MAX.
•
After about one hour the effects of the cooling process become visible: frost on the
inside evaporator. The thermostat enables the temperature of the chest fridge to be
adjusted. After a cooling period of approx. 5 hours, the thermostat can be set on a
desired position; this position is influenced by the surrounding temperature and the
intensity of use. At the position MIN. the cooling process is stopped. The appliance
is switched off by removing the plug from the wall socket.
