DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is pos-
sible that because a very low temperature has
been selected, the motor is working continu-
ously, which prevents the defrost cycle from
operating.
During prologed periods of abnormally hot
weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a
number, the cooling system may operate con-
tinuously 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.

OPERATION
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appli-
ance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda
(5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or deter-
gent 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:
l
Room temperature
l
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
