in mind its climatic rating.
In order to find out the climatic rating of your appliance, you should
check the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the front left edge
of the inside of the fridge section. You will need to open the door of
your appliance to be able to find it. The rating plate will indicate the
ambient temperature range that your appliance will function correctly
within.

Using your combi fridge freezer
Before switching on
o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
o After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the
appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant
gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation
process to settle.
o The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories
contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid
detergent and water.
o The interior of the appliance should be cleaned
with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in
lukewarm water. The interior and accessories
should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning
process has been completed.
o There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run
continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge
freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.
o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
connecting it to your mains supply.
10
Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat in the
fridge section
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply
and setting the thermostat.
o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the refrigerator, depending on what number you have turned the
thermostat control knob to.
o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However
the light will still function.
o Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the fridge
freezer
o Position <7> will give you a lower temperature inside the fridge
freezer.
o Ideally the thermostat should be set to position <3> or <4>.
o Your refrigerator can maintain a temperature of between 4 – 6
degrees centigrade.
o The freezer section can cool down to -18 degrees centigrade and
lower.
o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the appliance and how often the door
is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
o On the maximum setting (position <7>), your fridge freezer will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature and will increase
the energy usage. There is no need to run your appliance on this
setting for prolonged periods and you should return the
thermostat knob to position <3> or <4>.
