Switching on the appliance
Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation.
Plug in the appliance and switch on the mains supply.
Set the thermostat to the required setting (The temperature selector is
situated to the right of the icebox, setting 0 = off, setting 3 or 4 are most
commonly used for normal operation, however this can be changed to
your own preferred temperature, with 5 being the coldest setting).
Leave the appliance for 4 hours to reach temperature before use.
NOTE: During periods of high ambient temperatures (ie hot sunny days)
it may be necessary to set the temperature to a higher setting than is
normally used.
Operation
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds as the refrigerant is
pumped around the cooling circuit, this, along with the slight hum of the
compressor is normal and will stop and start as the thermostat operates.
In the event of a power failure
If there is a power failure keep the door closed if possible to maintain the
internal temperature. After power is restored it may take some time to
return to the set temperature level.
