4. Positioning the appliance
When first using this refrigerator please consider the following points: ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO 'MOTOR' AND IS THEREFORE VIRTUALLY SILENT ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF COOLING During the refrigeration process, the appliance gives off heat from the condenser (under the upper part of the rear cover) into the surrounding air. The more ventilated the condenser is, the more effective the refrigeration will be. The other condition for satisfactory operation is that the appliance is levelled. This could be checked by placing a glass of water on top of the appliance. It is important that the appliance is not directly exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an oven, etc.).

IMPORTANT Please follow the installation details below carefully Guarantee is valid for products installed as described only. 1. The refrigerator must be level both directions

4. The ventilation duct must at least measure 105 mm x the width of the refrigerator 5. Only the entire cooling unit must project into the duct as shown 6. Air passing through the duct must not be preheated by any source of heat 7. Ventilation grills, if used, must have an free openings of at least 200 cm2 each

During installation, please ensure the mains plug is accessible at all times.

5. Using the appliance
To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket outlet and switch on the socket. The cooling fins should show signs of cooling after about 3 hours. The refrigerator needs about 6 hours at normal ambient temperature to reach 6 °C in the storage compartment.

5.1. Temperature regulation
The usual setting required is in middle of the setting range on the thermostat knob (Fig. 5), but this can vary with conditions of load and installation. If it is found necessary to change the setting,the knob can be turned to a higher number to give a lower temperature, or a lower number to give a higher temperature. The effect of any adjustment can be checked by means of a thermometer when the refrigerator has reached the new temperature after some hours. 5
