During first use
o

the first time.

until the fridge freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.
o
During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food
within the appliance.
o
You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its normal operating position.
o
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on
the thermostat or connecting it to your mains supply.
Switching on the appliance and setting the thermostat
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat dial
(14) is located on the upper right hand side of the fridge section, next to the interior light.
o
The appliance is switched on by turning the thermostat dial (14) towards the Max. position. You may need to
use a coin to allow you to turn the thermostat dial.
o
The appliance is switched off when the arrow on the dial points to the ON/OFF symbol
. However the
appliance is still under mains power.
o
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the freezer, depending on what position you
have turned the thermostat control knob to.
o
Position
means that the appliance is switched off and will not cool.
o
Position Min. will give you a higher temperature inside the fridge/freezer.
o
Position Max. will give you a lower temperature inside the fridge/freezer.
o
Ideally the thermostat should be set to the Eco. position.
o
The fridge section can cool down to just above 0°C.
o
The freezer section can cool down to -18°C and lower.
o
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the temperature of food and the amount of
food that has been placed in the fridge freezer and how often the door is opened, will all affect the
temperature being maintained by the appliance.
o
On the maximum setting (position Max.), your fridge freezer will work harder to maintain a lower
temperature. There is no need to run your appliance on this setting for prolonged periods and you
should return the thermostat knob to the Eco. position.
o
IMPORTANT: Do not run the thermostat above the Eco. position for prolonged periods of time, otherwise the
defrost drain hole may freeze.
