Description of the appliance

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 10 °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.

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the mains socket.

The thermostat knob is on the light box in the refrigerator. You can switch the appliance on and set the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.

The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

)

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. The thermostat interrupts the cooling automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.

The closer it is set to maximum position the more intensive the refrigerating will be. When the thermostat knob is set to a medium position (between minimum and maximum), in the freezer a temperature colder than 18°C, in the refrigerator around +5°C can be reached. Setting it to a medium position is adequate for everyday use.

The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effected by not only the position of the thermostat but the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.

In the maximum position - in case of increased

demand e.g. during heatwaves -the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance.

4. Leave the appliance for approximately 2 hours for the

correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

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