Prior To First Time Use; Energy Saving Tips; Starting Your New Refrigerator; Temperature Control - Sylvania SE80103-1 Instruction Manual

Prior to First Time Use

•
Before connecting the appliance to the power outlet, let it stand for about 2 hours. This will reduce
the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling.
•
Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior (See 'Cleaning and Maintenance' section of
this manual)
•
Always disconnect the power cord prior to cleaning or repairing it (repairs should only be
undertaken by qualified service technicians. Contact us toll-free at 1800-287-4871 to find the
service center nearest you)

Energy Saving Tips

•
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the
door, mind to close it as soon as possible
•
Every so often, check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the
appliance)
•
Before loading the refrigerator with certain foods, make sure that they are at room temperature or
colder
•
Ice and frost layer increases energy consumption. Therefore clean the refrigerator as soon as the
layer is at least 1/8" thick
•
If the refrigerator is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, unplug the power cord, clean
the interior carefully (after the frost or ice layer has completely melted) and leave the door open

moist cloth
2. Insert the power supply cord into the wall socket
3. Turn the thermostat to 'MAX' for 15-20 minutes

Temperature Control

To control the internal temperature, adjust the thermostat dial. The dial has the following settings:
OFF, MIN, MED and MAX.
Setting Temperature range
MIN 6 – 9°C
MED 3 - 5°C

Note however that the thermostat dial can be set to any place on the scale, it does not have to be set exactly
on one of the settings.
To make ice cubes in the freezer, adjust the thermostat to the coldest setting.

properly if restarted too quickly.
