Before Switching On
•
Before using your appliance, add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to warm
water and with a damp clothe wipe down all parts of the new appliance, then
repeat the process with a clean damp clothe and dry.
(ensure the appliance is
not connected to the power when performing this task).
•
Remove all transport tapes and foam protection pieces . Clean the interior with
a cloth dampened in lukewarm soap and water. Wipe with clean water and
wipe dry.
•
There may be an odour when you first switch on the appliance, it will disappear
when the appliance starts to cool.
•
Due to the size and the weight of the appliance, it has 2 fixed rollers and 2
castors. This means the appliance does not have any adjustable feet, therefore
the surface that the appliance is installed on must be solid and level. This is
essential to ensure optimum performance, quiet running and proper door
opening/closing.
•
Connect to the electrical socket but do not switch the power to the refrigerator
on for at least 3 hours. The coolant within the product needs time to settle after
it has been transported and put in to position, failure to do this will affect the
cooling performance of your appliance..
•
Once the appliance has settled, switch the power on (the compressor will begin
to work) and locate the electronic control on the front of the appliance and set
to -20 degrees. Ensure the door is closed.
•
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.
•
To save energy, you should minimize the frequency and duration of door
opening.
