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 left
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 10 degrees C 50 degrees F at night and /or especially in winter, as it is designed
to operate in ambient temperatures between +10 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 setting 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 3.
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 10 minutes before
restarting the refrigerator. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the
refrigerator may not start.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full of clean water and place the tray in the low temperature
compartment and close the door.
To remove the ice cubes from the tray run the tray under water for a shot time and
twist the tray slightly to loosen the ice cubes.
Defrosting
The surface of the evaporator ices up when the refrigerator is in use. When the frost
layer reaches 3-4 mm thick the refrigerator must be defrosted and cleaned.
Otherwise it may result in lower efficiency and high energy consumption.
1. Take out all the food ferom the fridge and the ice tray and keep the door open.
2. Turn the thermostat to the off position ( 0 ) unplug the refrigerator from the
mains supply.
3. Position the water collection tray under the ice box on the shelf below.
4. After all the ice as melted dry the unit carefully and empty the water collection
tray.
5. Reinsert the mains plug and set the thermostat to its original setting.
6. Leave to stand until the correct temperature as been reached then introduce your
food.
