Switching on the appliance and setting the thermostat
o
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains
supply and setting the thermostat. The control panel is located
on the inside wall of the fridge compartment.
o
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the fridge depending on what you have the control panel set to.
o
The marks on the control dial indicate temperature grades, NOT
the degrees of temperature. 0 is OFF and 7 represents the
lowest temperature setting.
o
It is recommended that the control dial is set to position 3 or 4
after the 24 hour cooling period. You should use a suitable
thermometer to check the temperature after 2 hours to ensure
the fridge is at the ideal temperature of between 3°C and 4°C.
o
The freezer compartment temperature will vary between -18°C
and -25°C during a typical cycle.
o
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the fridge freezer and how often the
door is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
o
On the maximum setting your fridge freezer will work harder to
maintain a lower temperature and will increase the energy
usage. There is no need to run your appliance at this setting for
prolonged periods. Unless you are freezing fresh food, you
should have the digital thermostat set to 3 or 4.
o
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
reconnecting it to your mains supply.
