3. USE OF THE APPLIANCE
3.1
Switching on your unit
The temperature selector knob id located on the right hand side wall of the
refrigerator interior.
Setting "Off": unit off.
Setting "Min": Less cool temperature.
Setting "Med": Normal operation (adequate for most situations).
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days. It may be necessary
to set the thermostat to the coolest setting (position "Max"). This may cause the
compressor running continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the
cabinet.
For the first time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at "Med".
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is the
best to wait 24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the
temperature. When the thermostat control knob is set to OFF, the refrigerator will
not be running.

Tips for keeping food in the unit
1. Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw
meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a
container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly.
Place the container on the lowest shelf.
2. Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit.
Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
3. To prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food
separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
4. Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This
will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
5. To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times
you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you
need to put food in or take food out.
3.3
Cleaning the interior and the exterior of the unit
1. Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin first
remove the lower door shelf.
2. Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda
and then rinse with warm water using a "wrung-out" sponge or cloth.
Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin.
3. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard
furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish
getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
