OPERATION
Before using
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 detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with different temperature positions
and an “OFF” (O) position.
Position
● = minimum coldness
Position ● = maximum coldness
Insert a coin to turn the thermostat dial to the
required position.
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible
that because a very low temperature has been
selected, the motor is working continuously, which
prevents the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should
be selected on the thermostat and you should notice
that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is
correct.
The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the
thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to
freezing. When the food is frozen return the
thermostat back to the normal position.

C. Operating pilot light
D. Thermostat control knob
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the
thermostat to a higher number, however you should
turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic
defrosting.
Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
The operating pilot light (C) will illuminate.
Ambient Temperature Switch
Low Ambient Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently
when the room temperature drops below 16°C, the
switch mounted on the control panel should be
pressed.
No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in
this position for any period of time (see page 10 Low
ambient operation). However should the temperature
rise above 16°C remember to press again the switch.
