Using Your Appliance
5
Getting started
Once you have installed your appliance in an appropriate
location, follow the start up procedure below:
• Before you plug in the appliance, clean thoroughly the
inside, and any accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (0.5m1 to 0.5 litres) and dry with a
soft cloth.
• Leave the appliance to stand for 2 - 3 hours to allow
the refrigerant to settle following installation and
cleaning.
If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it
must be left to stand vertically for 12 hours before
installation.
• Once dry, plug the appliance into the socket.
• Turn the thermostat to the required setting - a medi-
um setting is usually suitable.
• Leave the appliance for at least 4 hours before storing
any food inside to allow a sufficient temperature to be
reached.
About the thermostat
• The thermostat is located in the upper right part of the
appliance.
• To reduce the temperature inside the appliance, turn
the thermostat towards 6 maximum.
• To increase the temperature inside the appliance turn
the thermostat towards 1 minimum.
• Depending on the ambient temperature of the room
the appliance is in, you may need to adjust the
thermostat accordingly.

In some cases food inside the refrigerator may become
frozen, common causes of this are:
• Thermostat is set too high - you will need to adjust
the setting to a more suitable temperature.
• The ambient temperature has dropped suddenly (i.e.
during winter) and this makes the refrigerator even
colder.
