INSTALLATION Location When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 38°C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering. Levelling the Unit To do this adjust the two levelling feet at the front of the unit. If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will not be covered properly.

OPERATION Switching On Your Unit 1. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply make sure that the thermostat control dial is set at position OFF. This is located on the right side of the cabinet. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. 2. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired position, bear in mind that the higher the number, the lower the temperature. Position 4 is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C). 3. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or if you open the door often.
TIPS FOR KEEPING FOOD IN THE UNIT • Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf. • Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool. • To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped. • Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit. • To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.
MAINTENANCE Changing the Internal Light 1. Before carrying out the bulb replacement always adjust the thermostat control dial to Position 0, then disconnect the mains supply. 2. Hold and twist to remove the light bulb cover. 3. Remove the old bulb by unscrewing in an anti-clockwise direction. 4. Replace with a new bulb (220~240V, max. 15W). Please make sure that it is secure in the bulb cover. 5. Refit the light bulb cover and reconnect the unit to the mains supply and switch on. Care When Handling / Moving the Unit Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it.
