Before first use of the fridge
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm
water and then thoroughly drying the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
The green power light on the control panel will be lit when you have plugged the appliance into the power supply. Then turn
the thermostat dial to position 5 (coldest) and switch on the fast freeze function until the red temperature warning light on the
control panel goes off.
When the red light has gone off, turn the thermostat down to the required level (recommended between 2-4) and switch off the
fast freeze function.
Please note:
The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the
compressor.
Fridge use
• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into
the refrigerator.
• Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation problems which
will be difficult to remove.
Freezer use
• The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.
• Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.
• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not be
stored for more than three months after the purchase date.
