Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Switching on the Appliance
-
Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation, before
switching on.
-
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, before putting in food.
3.2. Temperature Control
The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By
rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can
be obtained.
Important Note: Do not try to rotate the knob beyond position “1” as it will
turn off your appliance.
Refrigerator Thermostat Settings
-
For short term storage of food in the refrigerator, you can set the knob between position
1 and 3.
-
For long term storage of food in the refrigerator, you can set the knob between position
4 and 5.
Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set
the thermostat to the coldest setting (position 5). This may cause the compressor to run
continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.
Should a layer of frost develop on the rear wall of the cabinet, turn the temperature
regulator back to a warmer setting (e.g. position 1 or 2), as this will cause the compressor
to switch off and allow automatic defrosting to take place as normal.
Do not try and rotate the knob beyond position 1, it will switch off your appliance.
Important note:
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting or re-plugging in the unit so as to not damage the compressor.
