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. Green and red lights will glow and the compressor will start running.

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 open the freezer door and check that the fast-freeze switch is at off (the amber light will not come on). The red light will go out when the freezer has reached the correct temperature. Then you can put in your already frozen food.

7.If you are going to freeze fresh food, you must press the fast-freeze switch. The amber light will come on and you must wait at least three hours before putting in your fresh food to be frozen.

8.“ 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.

9.Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

10.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).

11.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).

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 16.5 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

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.
