12. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright
in tightly closed containers. Never store
products that contain flammable propellant
gas (e.g. aerosols, gas cannisters /
cartridges.) or explosive substances.
These are an explosion / fire hazard.
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
setting knob (see diagram) located on the
ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be
made from min, 1 ... 6, max, max being the
coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first
time, the setting knob should be adjusted so
that after 24 hours, the average fridge
temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F).
We recommend you set the knob on 5
position between the min and max setting and
monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. e.
towards max you will obtain a colder fridge
temperature and vice versa. Some sections of
the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as
the salad crisper and the top part of the
cabinet) which is quite normal.
The normal storage temperature of the freezer
should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures
may be obtained by adjusting setting knob
towards max position.
We recommend that you check the
temperature with an accurate thermometer to
ensure that the storage compartments are
kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very
quickly since the thermometer temperature
will rise very rapidly after you remove it from
the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is
opened cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the
door open and ensure it is closed immediately
after food is put in or removed.
If the ambient (room or garage) temperature is
between 0°C and -15°C, we recommend you
set the knob halfway between the min and
max setting to reach -18°C in the freezer
compartment. Lower temperatures may be
obtained by adjusting setting knob towards
max position."
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check
that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect
levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate
freely at the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended
under "Cleaning and care.”
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall
socket and the electricity is switched on.
When the door is open the interior light will
come on.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor
starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also
make some (noise), whether the
compressor is running or not. This is quite
normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is
quite normal due to the manufacturing
process used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting of the knob midway
and monitor the temperature to ensure the
appliance maintains desired storage
temperatures (See section Temperature
Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately after
it is switched on. Wait until the correct
storage temperature has been reached. We
recommend checking the temperature with
an accurate thermometer (see;
Temperature Control and Adjustment).
Freezer basket / drawers
For the best performance of your appliance
always use and distribute the foods evenly
within the freezer baskets and do not overfill
them as it can lead to poor performance of the
freezer; such as excessive electricity
consumption and / or inconsistent internal
freezer temperatures.
