Operating your refrigerator
Before plugging in your refrigerator for the first time remove all packing, clean the
refrigerator with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Plug the refrigerator into the mains power supply ensuring that the voltage is the same
as the rating label and then turn the thermostat control knob that is situated at the right
hand side of the unit to the midway position. The compressor should then start.
Do not operate your refrigerator in a room where the temperature is likely to fall
below 16 degrees C (61 degrees F) at night and /or especially in winter, as it is designed
to operate in ambient temperatures between +16 to +32 degrees C, at lower
temperatures the refrigerator may not operate, resulting in a reduction in the storage
life of the food.
Setting the temperature control
To control the internal temperature, adjust the thermostat control knob according to
the ambient temperature or purpose of use.
The temperature control knob has 6 settings from the coldest “5” to the warmest “1"
( 0,1,2,3,4,5).
Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs(normal
position 4).
Turning the control to the “0” position stops the cooling cycle, but does not turn off
the power to the refrigerator.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 5 minutes before
restarting the refrigerator. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the
refrigerator may not start.
To obtain a lower internal temperature turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to a
higher number. To obtain a higher internal temperature turn the thermostat control knob
anciclockwise to a lower number. However, the internal temperature and temperature
control setting is dependent on a number of factors:
1. Varying ambient temperature.
2. The times the appliance doors are opened and how long the doors 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 cabinet 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/freezer compartment.
Defrosting
5
When the thermostat control knob is set to a lower number(normally 1.0-3.0), the
evaporator defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the comparessor
stops. The defrost water drops
into the drip tray. If you find the drip tray is full of
defrost water, it must be emptied.
