TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND 
ADJUSTMENT

Operating temperatures are controlled 

by  the  thermostat  knob  (Fig.  1)  and 
may  be  set  at  any  position  between 
1 and 5, 5 being the coldest position. 
Towards  5  you  will  obtain  a  colder 
fridge temperature and vice versa.

To switch off the appliance completely: 

Turn the thermostat knob to “0” (Zero) 
position.

“Closed”  setting  will  keep  humidity 

inside the salad crisper.

“Open”  setting  will  increase  air 

circulation  thereby  reduce  humidity  in 
the salad crisper.

If you wish to store food in the salad 

crisper  for  longer  ,  you  should  keep 
the  humidity  adjustment  knobs  in  the 
closed position.

The  average  temperature  inside  the 

fridge depends on the following factors:

•  Ambient  temperature  in  the  room 

(seasonal changes)

• Frequency of door opening
• Placing hot food inside the product
•  Position  of  the  product  inside  the 

room (being exposed to sun light)

We  recommend  that  you  check 

the  temperature  with  an  accurate 
thermometer to ensure that the storage 

compartments are kept to the desired 
temperature.

Remember you must take your reading 

very quickly since the thermometer

temperature will rise very rapidly after 

you remove it from the freezer.

Please remember each time the door 

is  opened  cold  air  escapes  and  the 
internal  temperature  rises.  Therefore 
never leave the door open and ensure 
it is closed immediately after food is put 
in or removed.

STORING FRESH FOOD

Your  freezer  is  suitable  for  the  long-

term  storage  of  commercially  frozen 
foods and also can be used to freeze 
and store fresh food.

If there is a power failure do not open 

the door. Frozen food should not be

affected if the failure lasts for less than 

23 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the

food  should  be  checked  and  either 

eaten immediately or cooked and then 
refrozen.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Please 

observe 

the 

following 

instructions to obtain the best results.

Do not freeze too large a quantity at 

any  one  time.  The  quality  of  the  food 
is  best  preserved  when  it  is  frozen 
right through to the core as quickly as 
possible.

Do  not  exceed  the  freezing  capacity 

of your appliance in 24 h which is 4.5 
kg (11lb)

Placing  warm  food  into  the  freezer 

compartment  causes  the  refrigeration 
compressor  to  operate  continuously 
until the food is frozen solid. This can 
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of 

 5
