Using your refrigerator

Operating temperatures are controlled
by the thermostat (see diagram)
located on the inner side wall of the
freezer compartment. Settings may
be made from 1, 2 ... fast freeze, fast
freeze being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for
the first time, the thermostat should
be adjusted so that after 24 hours,
the average freezer temperature
is no higher than -18°C (0°F). We
recommend you set the half way
between the 1 and 4 setting. Lower
temperatures may be obtained by
adjusting the setting towards fast
freeze position.
We recommend that you check
the temperature with an accurate
thermometer to ensure that the
storage compartments are kept to the
desired temperature.
Remember you must take your
reading very quickly since the
thermometer temperature will rise very
rapidly after you remove it from the
freezer.
Please remember each time the door
is opened cold air escapes and the
internal temperature rises. Therefore
never leave the door open and ensure
it is closed immediately after food is
put in or removed.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of
your appliance in 24 h which is 10 kg
(22 lb)
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid.
If you are going to freeze fresh food
in excess of 2kg. (4.5 lb) turn the
thermostat to the fast freeze position
a few hours before placing the fresh
food in the freezer.
Remember to turn the
thermostat back to its previous
position once food has frozen.
It is recommended to place fresh
food to be frozen in fast freeze
compartment of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
