Operation

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 control knob with 6 temperature positions and one ÇOFFÈ (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat control knob 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.

If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the thermostat knob to a higher number, however you should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.

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 bin.
