Before first use
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda
and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
Do not load the fridge with food until at least 2 hors have passed and the fridge is closed to correct temperature.
Please note:
•
•
The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary
damage to the compressor.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back
of the appliance.

Use
•
•
Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being

Nothing should rest against the internal rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible
condensation problems which will be difficult to remove.

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.
The fridge will take some time to adjust to the new settings. This will depend on the difference between the old ad new
settings, the ambient temperature, the amount of food in the fridge and the number of times the door is opened.
To adjust the temperature turn the thermostat control knob clockwise (from off) to the required level. The temperature
becomes colder the higher the number on the control.
