DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
4
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is pos-
sible that because a very low temperature has
been selected, the motor is working continu-
ously, which prevents the defrost cycle from
operating.
During prologed periods of abnormally hot
weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a
number, the cooling system may operate con-
tinuously and the fridge cooling plate may not
defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number
will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.

OPERATION
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appli-
ance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda
(5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or deter-
gent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
l Room temperature
l How often the door is opened
l How much food is stored
l Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
