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 Ambient 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 11 Low
ambient 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
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting
when freezing fresh food. Depress the ambient
switch at least 12 hours before loading food to be
frozen.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 6 kg. of fresh
food.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
If large quantities of food are to be stored , remove
all drawers and baskets from the appliance and
place food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention
not to exceed load limit stated on the side of
the upper section (where applicable).
Caution
In the event of a power cut do not open the door.
The food in the freezer will not be affected if the
power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should
the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen .
DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE
REFROZEN.

After completion of the door reversing operation,
check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If
the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the
gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that
case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part
involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.
