Using the Appliance

This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs.

The appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 16 °C and 32 °C.

If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18 °C and food spoilage may occur.

Before Use

Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing alcohol.

To Start the Appliance

1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after installation.

2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.

3. Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. A setting of 3 - 4 is usually suitable for normal operation (see thermostat control).

4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

Temperature Control

The thermostat control situated in the control panel regulates the temperature both within the fridge and freezer compartments. The thermostat control is marked from 1-5, the higher the number, the colder the setting.

Position 0 - Off Position 1 - Cold Position 5 - Coldest The temperature will be affected by:

Ambient temperature How often the door is opened How much food is stored Position of the appliance

In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.

Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

The Refrigerator

Below is the recommended storage positions for various food types:

1. Butter, cheese

2. Eggs

3. Cans, sour cream, small bottles

4. Large drink bottles, milk bottles

5. Fruit, vegetables, salads

6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc.

7. Milk, dairy products

8. Ready-cooked foods, confectionery, foods in dishes covered, opened cans, bottles laid, etc.

Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.

To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.

Storage Times

The storage charts at the end of the instruction book give information on storage times in the freezer and refrigerator compartments. The storage times quoted are intended as a guide only.

Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as this will affect the air circulation within the refrigerator compartment.

Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach room temperature naturally before placing in the refrigerator.

Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before placing them in the refrigerator, this prevents any transference of food smells.

The Freezer

When freezing fresh food always place the food in the freezing compartment which is the top drawer in the freezer section.

1. Turn the thermostat control to 5 (max).

2. Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.

3. After 24 hours reset the thermostat control to its normal setting and place the frozen food into the storage compartments.
