canned food should not be stor ed in the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and
products suc h as flav our ed wat er i ces should not
be consumed too cold.
11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if
kept at tem peratur es near 0°C. T herefor e wrap
pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and

Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temper atur es are co ntroll ed by th e
setting knob (Item 5) located on the ceiling of
fridge com partme nt. Set tings may be m ade fro m
MIN, 1 ... 4, 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 half way between
the MIN and MAX setting and monitor to obtain
the desired temperature i.e. towards MAX you will

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
compress or is runni ng or not . This is q uite norm al.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is
quite norm al due to the manu factur ing pr ocess
used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the knob midway and
monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance
maintains desire d stor age temp eratur es (Se e
section Te mpera ture Co ntrol and Adj ustment ).
8. Do not loa d the appl ia nce i mme diat ely i t is
