Before use

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 4 hours. Otherwise the compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.

Using the fridge

To start the fridge and set the correct temperature

Turn the thermostat control to the desired position. MIN The lowest position of the thermostat control results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet. MAX The highest position of the thermostat control results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.

• : Switched off.

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.

Switching off

Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click position to "•". Remove the power supply plug from the wall socket.

Temperature inside the fridge

A suitable 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 affected by:

· How often the door is opened

· How much food is stored

· Position of the appliance (See chapter Installation)

+ +

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.

Cabinet interior

The shelves and door compartments are removable and can easily be re-arranged. Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to enable them to be removed. The lower door compartment and the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer must not be moved. They are required for proper air circulation inside the cabinet. Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and thus prevent food products from touching the cooling plate.
