Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply
make sure that the thermostat control dial is set
at position OFF. This is located on the right side of
the cabinet. Connect the mains cable to the mains
socket.
2. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired
position, bear in mind that the higher the number,
the lower the temperature. Position 2 or 3 or 4 is the
recommended setting when operating at normal
room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C).
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 5°C or lower
while the freezer compartment should be -18°C or
lower.
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.
