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.
To Start the Appliance
Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. Open the fridge door. Turn the thermostat control to a midway setting
To switch off the appliance turn the thermostat control to position ÒOÓ
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the appliance is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an ÒOFFÓ (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 control regulates the temperature both within the fridge and the freezer compartment. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the appliance depends on the following factors:
Ðroom temperature
Ðhow often the door is opened
Ðhow much food is stored
Ðposition of the appliance
Use of an air circulation slider control
Your appliance has an air circulation slider control situated at the rear of the fridge compartment, which controls the amount of cold air circulated through the fridge compartment.
When the ambient temperature is between 10¡C and 16¡C, the slider control should be in the ÒcoldÓ position.
When the ambient temperature is above 16¡C the slider control should be midway between ÒcoldÓ and ÒcoldestÓ.
When the ambient temperature is very high (i.e. hot summer days) position the slider control to ÒcoldestÓ.

Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; 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.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad drawers.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the 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.
