STARTING

Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that:

1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet.

2. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.

• When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on.

4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed

within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the

compressor is running or not which is quite normal.

5. Set the thermostat knob half way between 1 and 5.
6. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed
to be warm to avoid condensation.

7. "Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the

correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check

the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and

Adjustment)"

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a *

frozen food storage

compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and
the
food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.

3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than 20 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-
frozen.
