Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The internal
temperature of your unit is controlled by a thermostat. There are
eight settings, of which position 7 is the coldest and position 0
turns the unit off.
2. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired position, bear
in mind that the higher the number, the lower the temperature.
Position 3 or 4 is the recommended setting when operating at
normal room temperature (between 16°C and 32°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
doors often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill and
freeze your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold
enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need a
special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available from
most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the thermometer
in either the fridge or freezer compartment and leave overnight.
The correct temperature for the fridge compartment should
be an average of 5°C. The correct temperature for the freezer
compartment should be -18°C or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position
is between 1 to 4 for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between 5 to 6 for
hotter environments. Please adjust according to the environment.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
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.
