Using the Refrigerator Freezer
If the appliance has been stored or transported in a horizontal position, oil from the
compressor may have flowed into the refrigerant circuit. To rectify this, leave the
appliance standing in the vertical position for one to two hours before use.
Prior to use, clean the internal parts with a soft cloth dampened with warm detergent
and dry thoroughly.
To start the appliance connect the mains lead plug to
the wall socket, switch on and proceed as follows:-
* The green and red indicators on the bottom of the
refrigerator door will light up.
* Set the refrigerator thermostat situated at the top
left of the refrigerator compartment to the 'Strong'
setting with aid of a coin.
* Leave for the appliance closed for 2 to 3 hours to
allow the internal temperature to stabilise.
* Whilst it is necessary to check that the internal
temperature is low enough before placing food in
the appliance, endeavour not to open and close the
doors too often, especially in hot weather.
* When the internal temperature has stabilised, the
thermostat control can be turned down to a mid setting. However the final setting
chosen will be depend on the ambient temperature, how often the door is opened and
the amount of contents stored.
* After the refrigerator has been running for a while the red indicator will go off. This
indicates that the temperature within the compartment is suitable for storing food.
* When storing pre-frozen food set the freezer thermostat situated next to the
refrigerator thermostat to the 'Strong' position and leave for 2 – 3 hours for the
temperature to stabilise then reset to a Mid position..
* The higher the number the cooler the temperature, which will be regulated
automatically.
* When freezing fresh food the fast freeze function must be operated for at least 6
hours before placing the food into the freezer. This can be achieved by pressing the
Fast Freeze button located on the bottom of the refrigerator door. The yellow
indicator will light up and the compressor will run continually for this period. After 6
hours place the fresh food into the freezer drawers and leave the fast freeze function
on for another 24 hours after which the food will be thoroughly frozen and the fast
freeze can be switched off by pressing the button.
The final position chosen will depend on the ambient temperature, how often the door
is opened and the amount of contents stored.
NOTE: The appliance does not operate in the STOP position but it is still connected
to the electricity supply as shown by the internal light working, when the refrigerator
door is opened.
