The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools. Please note: • The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature. • If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor. Defrosting the fridge The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge. It is important to keep the channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance. Use • Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered. • Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into the refrigerator. • Nothing should rest against the internal rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to remove. Setting the temperature • The temperature is regulated by the thermostat dial, found inside the fridge compartment on the right hand side. • The thermostat can be adjusted between 1 (least cold) and 5 (coldest). • To switch off the cooling system, turn the thermostat to 0. thermostat light bulb cover Reversing the door It is possible to reverse the door on this refrigerator, if required.

After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly. • Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand using soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher. • The evaporating tray and water drain hole (at the back of the refrigerator compartment) should be cleaned periodically to prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the refrigerator compartment.
