•This product may be fitted with a non re-wireable plug. If it is necessary to
change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover
becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable

Before Switching On
•Before using your appliance, add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to warm
water and with a damp cloth wipe down all parts of the new appliance, then
repeat the process with a clean damp cloth 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.
•When the appliance has been positioned, adjust the feet to ensure the unit is
stable. This is essential to ensure 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 locate the thermostat dial on the product and
set to “5" and switch on the power. The compressor will begin to work. Close
the door.
•We recommend that the door is not opened for a minimum of 4 hours to allow
the appliance to reach the standard operating temperature.
•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 (this is
normal).
•To save energy, you should minimize the frequency and duration of door
opening.

The temperature in the appliance is controlled by the temperature control dial
or thermostat located inside the fridge. Rotate the control dial left or right to
regulate the temperature inside the fridge.
On the temperature control, 0 is the off setting, 1 is the warmest setting and 7 is
the coldest setting.
Depending on the ambient temperature of the room the appliance is situated in,
you may need to adjust the temperature control dial; in a room with a high
ambient temperature the temperature control dial may need to be adjusted to a
colder setting (moved towards setting 7) or in a room with a low ambient
temperature the temperature control dial may need to be adjusted to a warmer
setting (moved towards settings 5 or 4).
Setting 7 should be used as a rapid cool/freeze setting and should only be set 2
hours before a large amount of food is placed in the fridge. The temperature
control should be put back to setting 5 after the food has been placed in the
fridge, if this is not done the temperature in the fridge compartment could fall
below 0ºC as the compressor will run continuously.
Once the temperature control has been set, close the door and plug in the
appliance. We recommend that the door is not opened for a minimum of 4
hours to allow the appliance to reach the standard operating temperature.
