Before First Use - Forte 450 Series User Manual

BEFORE FIRST USE

Allow the fridge to settle for at least 24 hours after transport prior to switching the power on.
Clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of baking soda (sodium
bicarbonate) and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior. Note: The fridge may have
an odor to it at first. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
Note:
The appliance will start with a default set temperature of 41℉ (5℃) for fridge 36℉ (2℃) for
special fridge compartment and 0℉ (-18℃) for freezer and will work continuously until it
achieves the correct temperatures. When the appliance is switched off, you should allow five
minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary strain to the compressor.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance.
This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost to
build up on this surface; it then turns into liquid during compressor off cycles and drains through
a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting or
moisture at the back is normal
