Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the section "Installation". Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet discharges into the drip tray.

Before inserting the power plug into the outlet and switching on the cabinet for the first time, leave it standing upright for about 30 minutes, or for 4 hours if it was transported horizontally. Otherwise the compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.

Setting the temperature

Press the buttons until the desired temperature flashes in the temperature display (The temperature can be set between +1°C and +9°C.) "+" raises the temperature. "-" lowers the temperature.

A setting of 5°C is usually suitable for normal operation. Once set, the temperature display shows "-" until the temperature inside the fridge reaches +9°C or below. Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the cabinet. It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set temperature.

Temperature inside the fridge

A s uitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5°C. If the thermostat control is set to a too cold temperature, food with a high water content may start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest places in the fridge. The picture shows the coldest and warmest places inside the fridge. (+ warm, - cold) Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part of the cabinet. The temperature will be affecteed by:

· How often the door is opened

· How much food is stored

· Position of the appliance (See chapter

Installation)

-18

Measuring the temperature

If the temperature is measured using a standard, single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly on the shelf.

Hints:

· Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to

circulate freely between the products.

· Do not place food products directly against the

cooling plate on the rear wall since they may freeze in this case.

· Also never put warm products into the cabinet.

Wait until they have cooled down.

· Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and

flavours from tainting other food.
