OPERATION
Before use
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 deter-
gent 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 one
«OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
l
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
l
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stablise before making further
changes.
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot
weather, if the thermostat is set on too high
a number, the cooling system may operate
continuously and the fridge cooling plate
may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower
number will cause the automatic defrosting
to resume.
Ambient Temperature Switch
The appliance is designed to operate in room temper-
atures of 16°C to 32°C, or down to 10°C if the ambi-
ent switch is switched on. The ambient switch should
be switched on when the room temperature drops
below 16°C (the incorporated lamp will illuminate). If
the room temperature drops below the above figures
the temperature in the freezer may rise above -18°C,
then safe storage of frozen food can no longer be
guaranteed. It is most likely that the ambient switch
will need to be depressed throughout the winter to
allow for low overnight temperatures. No damage can
be caused by leaving the switch in this position for a
period of time but energy will be wasted.
