OPERATION
Before using
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 and the
freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6
temperature positions and an “OFF” (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
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.
Low Room Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently
when the room temperature drops below 16°C, the
switch mounted next to the thermostat control should
be switched on.
No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in
this position for any period of time (see page 9 Low
room temperature operation). However should the
temperature rise above 16°C remember to turn the
switch off again.
The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
When freezing large amount of fresh food turn the
thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to
freezing. When the food is frozen return thermostat
to normal position .
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 3.5 kg. of fresh
food.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
To guarantee a good operation of the appliance
during normal use, the drawers should not be
removed.
