OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLACEMENT OF FOOD
1. There should always be some space between
items inside for air circulation.
2. Food should be kept in sealed packaging to
avoid becoming dry or spoilt.
3. Hot food should be cooled down before placing
into the appliance. Otherwise, the interior
temperature and power consumption will increase.
4. Reduce opening the door frequently.
This will increase the appliance effi cienûıy and reduce
power consumption.
Do not use any electronic equipment inside the appliance.
The temperature of freezer can be controlled manually by adjusting the
thermostat dial located at rear. However, the number shown on the dial
does not directly represent the temperature. Instead, the
larger the number is, the lower the interior temperature will be.
0 stands for off (refrigeration system only). Turn the dial to
position 4 for normal use, turn it to position 4-7 if a lower interior
temperature is required; alternatively, to increase the interior temperature
select position 4-1. The fi rst time you turn the unit on set the temperature
control to the maximum position, using a coin or fl athead screwdriver.
After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best
suites your needs.
Do not store objects which are costly or subject to temperature
variations. e.g. medication or chemicals.
ICE MAKING
To make ice cubes, fi ll the ice tray with potable water
and place it in the freezer. To remove ice cubes
easily, run water on the tray before gently twisting and
inverting the tray.
