Temperature Control
The refrigerator is designed to maintain an internal storage temperature in the
refrigerator compartment between to + .
Instructions for use
Remove all packing materials and wash the interior of the appliance using lukewarm
water containing a little bicarbonate of soda in the proportion of 1 teaspoon to 1.2 liters
(2 pints) of water. Do not use detergents or soaps as they may taint the food. After
cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly.
Never place hot or warm foods into the cabinet or leave the doors open for longer than
necessary as this will raise the temperature and cause excessive amounts of moisture thus
increasing the amount of ice in the refrigerator / freezer compartment.
The Internal Light
The internal light will automatically switch ON and OFF whenever the refrigerator door
is opened or closed. To change the light bulb, please see the chapter on changing the light
bulb.
To obtain a lower internal temperature turn the thermostat temperature control to a
higher number. To obtain a higher internal temperature turn the thermostat control
to a lower number. However, the internal temperature and temperature control
setting is dependent on a number of factors:
1. Varying ambient temperatures.
2. The number of times the appliance doors are opened and how long the doors remain
open.
3. The amount and temperature of the food and drink introduced into the appliance.
4. The weather conditions and time of year e.g. summer / winter.
5. The positioning of the appliance and an adequate air circulation to the sides and
back of the cabinet.
To enable adjustment of the temperature in the appliance it is fitted with an adjustable
thermostat located in the fridge compartment, which can be adjusted from setting 1
(warmest) to 7 (coldest). For normal working temperature it is recommended to adjust
the thermostat control to the midway position, after a few hours readjust the thermostat
to the desired temperature. There is also an off position 0 . Which turns OFF the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. Please Note this dose not disconnect the
appliance from the mains supply. To do this you must remove the mains plug from the
socket.

Storage of fresh food in the refrigerator
Food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in bags or stored in
airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and prevent the strong smell
of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To store raw meat wrap in polythene bags or airtight containers and place on the
lowest shelf.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw
meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and
placed in the vegetable/ salad bin.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf on the
door.
