Before use

Remove all 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.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,

although the temperature will be affected by:

Room 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. When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes.

Important During prolonged periods of abnormally

hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry):

wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad drawer.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

OPERATION

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the bottom salad drawers. Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special

airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
