Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Switching on the Appliance
-
Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation.
-
Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
-
Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the
Temperature Control section (3.2.).
-
Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to
be reached.
3.2. Temperature Control
This refrigerating appliance is not suitable for freezing foodstuffs.
The temperature selector knob is located on the right hand side of the inner cabinet
(see Description of the Appliance on page 3). Please note that a larder fridge does
not have an ice-box and will operate at a slightly higher temperature than a fridge
with an ice-box.
-
Setting “0”: Unit Off
-
Setting “1”: Unit On – Warmest Temperature
-
Setting “3” to ”4”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
-
Setting “7”: Coldest Temperature
Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to
set the thermostat to the coldest setting (position 7). This may cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the
cabinet.
3.3. Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to
the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance.
When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or
pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and you
may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.
