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.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad
crispers.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Starting your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket.
The thermostat switch (B) will pre-set and the
operating pilot light (A) will illuminate.
If the Thermostat switch is in the OFF (■) position,
use a coin to turn the switch to a medium setting and
the operating pilot light will illuminate.

Temperature control

The temperature within the appliance is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.
To operate the appliance proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the Ç■È position.
When you first start the appliance, we suggest that
you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting,
although the temperature will be affected by:
- Room temperature
- How often the door is opened
- How much food is stored
- Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control
setting all these factors have to be considered and
some experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control towards max; to obtain a higher temperature
turn the control towards min. For easier turning of this
control, use a small coin.
