OPERATION
Before using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly. Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable). Caution In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen . DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE REFROZEN.

Fit the appliance in the niche by making sure that it stands against the interior surface of the unit on the side where the door hinges of the appliances are fitted. Insert the appliance until the upper strip butts up against the unit (1) and make sure that the lower hinge is in line with the surface of the unit (2).

Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator and the freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an �OFF� (O) position. Position 1 = minimum coldness Position 6 = maximum coldness Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. The intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4). The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors: � room temperature � how often the door is opened � how much food is stored � position of the appliance Important During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.

Fasten the appliance with 4 screws provided in the kit included with the appliance. (I = short) (P = long)

Frozen food storage
When first starting-up or after a period of use, before putting the products in the freezer compartment let the appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal opertion position. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer. Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Important Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment. Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin burns. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or �frost/freezer burns�. Apply covers (C-D) on joint cover lugs and into hinge holes. Snap vent grille (B) and hinge cover (E) into position.

Freezing fresh food
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when freezing fresh food. In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 4 kg. of fresh food. Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from the appliance and place food on cooling shelves.
