Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Switching on the Appliance
Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation.
Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the
Temperature Control section (3.2.).
Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature
to be reached.
3.2. Temperature Control
The temperature control knob (1) is located on the front of the top panel (See
Description of Appliance on Page 2).
Setting “Min”: Unit On – Warmest Temperature
Mid section of dial: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
Setting “Max”: Coldest Temperature
Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary
to set the thermostat to the coldest setting (position ‘Max’). This may cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the
cabinet.
When fresh (unfrozen) food has been added to the storage drawers, set the
control to “Max” and turn back to “Normal” as soon as your fresh food is frozen.
Do not operate at “Max” for more than 24 hours!
