Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply adjust the
thermostat control dial to the desired position. Bear in mind
that the higher the number, the lower the temperature.
Position 3 is the recommended setting when operating at
normal room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C). This is
located on the top of the cabinet. Connect the mains cable to
the mains socket.
2. Switch on the fan after placing fresh food in the fridge.
The fan circulates the cold air, so food is chilled quickly.
Remember to turn off the fan after 1-2 hours.
3. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in
a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or if you open
the door often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill your
food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold
enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need a
special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available from
most supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit, where it can
be read easily. Leave overnight, the temperature in the unit
should be an average of 5°C.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position is between 1 to 4
for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between 5 to 6 for hotter environments. Please adjust
according to the environment.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be
aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more
pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your
unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Shopping for Chilled Foods
•
Take a quick look at the chilled food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.
•
Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep the food
cold.
•
Don’t buy chilled food unless you can chill it straight away. Specially insulated bags can be bought from most
supermarkets and hardware shops. These bags can keep chilled food cold for longer while transporting.
•
Food that has been left in a car or at room temperature for a prolonged period of time could raise the food
temperature to a dangerous level, which allows harmful bacteria to grow.
•
Always unpack and place chilled food in the unit before storing dry food.
