Switching on the appliance and setting the thermostat
o
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains
supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat dial is located
on the upper right hand side of the inside of the cabinet, next to
the interior light.
o
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the fridge. The temperature is affected by the number that the
thermostat dial is set to.
o
The OFF position means that the appliance will not cool.
o
Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the
fridge.
o
Position <7> will give you a lower temperature inside the fridge.
o
Ideally the thermostat dial should be set to position <3>.
o
The recommended operating temperature of the fridge is
3°C - 4°C.
o
The recommended operating temperature of the freezer is
-15°C - -18°C
o
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the fridge and how often the door is
opened, will all affect the temperature being maintained
by the appliance.

o
On the maximum setting (position <7>), your fridge will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature and will increase
the energy usage. There is no need to run your appliance on
setting <7> for prolonged periods.
o
IMPORTANT: Do not run the thermostat above position <5> for
prolonged periods, otherwise the defrost drainage hole will
freeze.
