Before operating 

Starting

Final Check

Before you start using the 

refrigerator check that:

1. 

The  front feet have been ad-

justed so the appliance is le-

vel.

2. 

The interior is dry and air can 

circulate freely at the rear.

3. 

Clean the interior as recom-

mended under “CLEANING 

AND CARE.”

4. 

Insert the plug into the wall 

socket and switch on the 

electricity supply.  

Avoid 

accidental disconnection by 

taping over the switch. Green 

light will glow and the comp-

ressor will start running in 

about five minutes.

5. 

You will hear a noise as the 

compressor starts up. The li-

quid and gases sealed  within 

the refrigeration system may 

also give rise to noise, whet-

her the compressor is run-

ning or not which is quite nor-

mal.

6. 

If you are going to store fro-

zen food open the freezer 

door and check that the fast-

freeze mode is off.( thermos-

tat knob is not set to maxi-

mum position and the amber 

light is not on). When tempe-

rature reaches -18 °C or be-

low, you can put in your fro-

zen food. (See Storing Frozen 

Food ). 

7. 

If you are going to freeze 

fresh food, you must switch 

the thermostat knob to ma-

ximum position. The amber 

light will come on and you 

must wait at least three ho-

urs before putting in your 

fresh food to be frozen. (See 

Freezing Fresh Food) 

8. 

Front edges of the cabinet 

may feel warm. This is nor-

mal. These areas are desig-

ned to be warm to avoid con-

densation.

9. 

We recommend that you set 

the thermostat knob at MIN 

setting and  

monitor  

the temperature to ensure 

the appliance maintains de-

sired storage temperatures  

(See Temperature Control and 

Adjustment section).

Important Note :

10. 

If there is a power failure do 

not open the door. Frozen 

food should not be affected if 

the failure lasts for less than 

18 hours. If the failure is lon-

ger, then  

the food sho-

uld be checked and either ea-

ten immediately or cooked 

and   then re-frozen.

11. 

If you find the freezer door 

difficult to open just after you 

have closed it, don’t worry. 

This is due to the pressu-

re difference which will equa-

lise and  

allow the door 

to open normally after a few 

moments.

12. 

You will hear a vacuum sound 

just after closing the door. 

This is quite   normal.
