Instructions for use
Remove all packing materials and check for damage, if the appliance is damaged, do
not use the appliance, contact the store where you purchased the appliance. Wash
the interior of the appliance using lukewarm water containing a little bicarbonate of
soda in the proportion of 1 teaspoon to 1.2 litres (2 pints) of water. Do not use
detergents or soaps as they may taint the food. After cleaning, dry all parts
thoroughly.
Temperature Control
The refrigerator is designed to maintain an internal storage temperature in the
refrigerator compartment between 0℃ to + 8℃.
To enable adjustment of the temperature in the appliance it is fitted with an
adjustable thermostat located in the fridge compartment, which can be adjusted from
setting 1(warmest) to 7 (coldest). For normal working temperature it is recommended
to adjust the thermostat control to the position 4.0, after a few hours readjust the
thermostat to the desired temperature. There is also an off position “0”. Which
turns the refrigerator off. Note this dose not disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply. To do this you must remove the mains plug from the wall outlet.
To obtain a lower internal temperature turn the thermostat temperature control
clockwise to a higher number. To obtain a higher internal temperature turn the
thermostat control anticlockwise to a lower number. The internal temperature and
temperature control setting is dependent on a number of factors:
1. Varying ambient temperatures.
2. The number of times the appliance door is opened and how long the door remain
open.
3. The amount and temperature of the food and drink introduced into the appliance.
4. The weather conditions and time of year e.g. summer/winter.
5. The positioning of the appliance and an adequate air circulation to the sides and
back of the cabinet.
Never place hot or warm foods into the refrigerator or leave the doors open for longer
than necessary as this will raise the temperature and cause excessive amounts of
moisture thus increasing the amount of ice in the refrigerator compartment.
The Internal Light
The internal light will automatically switch ON and OFF whenever the refrigerator
door is opened or closed. To change the light bulb, see the section on changing the
light bulb.
