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 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 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 ambient 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 9 kg.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from the appliance and place food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to
exceed load limit 
stated on the side of the upper section.
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
