Operating Instructions
Switching On Your Fridge Freezer
1. The internal temperature of your fridge freezer is
controlled by a thermostat. Before connecting the
fridge freezer to the mains supply make sure that the
thermostat control dial is set at the 0 position. The
thermostat control dial is located inside the fridge
compartment.
2. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired
position, bear in mind that the higher the number,
the lower the temperature. Position 4 is the
recommended setting for the fridge freezer when
operating at normal room temperature (between
16°C and 32°C).
3. The fridge freezer may not operate at the correct
temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a
particularly cold room, or if you open the fridge
freezer door often.
4. If you are concerned that your fridge freezer 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 the fridge compartment
and leave overnight, the correct temperature should
be between 0°C and 5°C. Alternatively, place the
thermometer in the middle basket of the freezer
compartment and leave it overnight. The correct
temperature should be -18°C or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of your fridge freezer is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position
is between 1 to 3 for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between 3 to 5 for hotter
environments. Please adjusted according to the environment. The position 5 is super freezing. This setting
can be used for freezing fresh food quickly but should not be used for normal operation. If you require
more information refer to the Super Freezing section.
Noises Inside the Fridge Freezer!
If you have not owned a fridge freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather 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 fridge freezer. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant
around the system.
