4. OPERATION
4.1 Switching on your unit
 OFF setting: Unit off
 MIN setting: Lower cooling temperature
 MED or MID setting: Normal temperature (suitable for most situations)
 MAX setting: Coolest temperature
On high ambient temperature days, for example in summer, it may be
necessary to set the thermostat to the coldest setting (MAX position). This may
cause the compressor to run continuously to maintain a low temperature in the
refrigerator.
The first time you start the refrigerator, set the thermostat to MED. The
thermostat knob controls the temperature: when it is in the OFF position, the
refrigerator will not be running.
Allow the refrigerator to cool down completely before putting food in it. It is
best to wait 24 hours.
4.2 Noise in the unit
It may happen that your unit makes some unusual noises. In most cases these
are perfectly normal, but it is good to familiarise yourself with them. These
sounds are caused by the circulation of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, and
have become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC-free gases. They
do not constitute a fault and do not affect the performance of the refrigerator,
they are only due to the operation of the compressor as it moves the refrigerant
through the system.
4.3 Food preservation tips
 Cooked meat and fish should always be stored on a shelf away from raw
meat and fish to avoid possible transfer of bacteria. Store raw meat and fish
in a container large enough to catch any juices that may be released and
cover it properly. Place the container on the bottom shelf.
Leave space around the food and allow air to circulate inside the unit.

Check that all parts of the unit are well ventilated.
To prevent flavour transfer or food from drying out, store or cover food

separately.
 Always allow cooked food to cool to room temperature before placing in
the refrigerator. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the
unit.
To prevent cold air from escaping from inside the unit, try to limit the

number of times the door is opened. We recommend that the door is only
opened when food needs to be taken in or out.
