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.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an «OFF» (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 setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:
–room temperature
–how often the door is opened
–how much food is stored
–position of the appliance
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.
Low Room Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently when the room temperature drops below 16°C, the switch mounted next to the thermostat control should be switched on.
No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in this position for any period of time (see page 10 Low room temperature operation).However should the temperature rise above 16°C remember to turn the switch off again.

Freezing fresh food
When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to freezing.
When the food is frozen return to the normal position.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 kg. of fresh food.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
If you need to store large quantities of food, you can remove the drawer from the appliance and pile the food directly on the cooling shelves, always respecting the load limits where they are stated.
Important
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be
DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE REFROZEN.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to depress the ambient switch for at least two hours before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.
