4Before operating
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.We recommend that you set the thermostat halfway between Min. and Max. (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
7.Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment)
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.
