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 one ÇOFFÈ (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
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:
Ðroom temperature
Ðhow often the door is opened
Ðhow much food is stored
Ðposition 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 Ambient 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 11 Low ambient operation). However should the temperature rise above 16¡C remember to turn the switch off again.
