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 and the freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an ÒOFFÓ (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:
Ðroom temperature
Ðhow often the door is opened
Ðhow much food is stored
Ðposition of the appliance
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible that because a very low temperature has been selected, the motor is working continuously, which prevents the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should be selected on the thermostat and you should notice that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the thermostat to a higher number, however you should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.
Low Ambient Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently when the room temperature drops below 14¡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 14¡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 thermostat to normal position.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 3.5 kg.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
To guarantee a good operation of the appliance during normal use, the drawers should not be removed.
