TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (see diagram) located on the ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be made from MIN, 1 ... MAX, MAX being the coldest position. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend you set the thermostat half way between the MIN and MAX setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i.e. towards MAX you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet) which is quite normal. The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting thermostat knob towards MAX position. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore, never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed. BEFORE OPERATING Final Check Before you start using the appliance check that: 1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling. 2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear. 3. The interior is clean as recommended under "Cleaning and care." 4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on. When the door is open the interior light will come on. And note that: 5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor is running or not. This is quite normal. 6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is not a defect. 7. We recommend setting the thermostat knob midway and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment). 8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend checking the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment). . 8
