STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the refrigerator check that:
1.The front feet have been adjusted so the appliance is level.
2.The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3.Clean the interior as recommended under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
4.Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Avoid accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. Green light will
glow and the compressor will start running in about five minutes.
5.You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
6.If you are going to store frozen food open the freezer door and check
that the is off (the amber light will not come on). When
temperature reaches
(See Storing Frozen Food ).
7.If you are going to freeze fresh food, you must press the
8.Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
9.We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at MIN setting and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See Temperature Control and Adjustment section).
Important Note :
1.If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than 11 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then
2.If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the door to open normally after a few moments.
3.You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.
4.When you switch on, the appliance will not start immediately, because the appliance incorporates a protection device in the electronics - wait for about 5 minutes.
5.If the freezer door is left open [Or ajar], the door open alarm will be activated in a few minutes. You will hear the warning to make you aware that the door is not shut fully. As soon as you close the door, the audible alarm would cancel itself.
