4Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/ freezer check that:
1.The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
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.
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 already frozen food you don’t need to change the thermostat setting.
7.Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used, so do not worry, it is not a defect.
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 3 and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (see section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
10.Do not load the appliance immediately after 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).
Important Notes :
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 13 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 minutes.
3.Always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface and food remains for hygiene reasons.
