Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The
internal temperature of your unit is controlled
by a thermostat. There are three settings MIN,
NORMAL and MAX.
2. After the unit has been on for 20 minutes adjust
the thermostat control dial to NORMAL. This 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 -18°C or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position is
between MIN and MAX, but it should be adjusted according to the environment.
Freezing Fresh Food
Place the fresh food on the top freezer shelf. Food may need rearranging to achieve this. During
the freezing process the temperature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so that ice crystals
are kept as small as possible to prevent damaging the structure of food. If freezing takes place
slowly large ice crystals form and these will affect the quality of food once it has defrosted.
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.
