5. Using the appliance

To start the refrigerator connect the plug into a

properly earthed 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 the region of 2 to 3 on

the thermostat knob (Fig. 5), but this can vary with

conditions of load and installation. If it is found

necessary to alter the setting,the knob can be turned to

a higher number to produce a colder temperature, or a

lower number to produce a warmer temperature. The

effect of any adjustment can be checked by means of

the thermometer after leaving the refrigerator operating

for a further period to settle down again.

6. ICE CUBES (If available)

Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and place

the ice tray on the ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess

water to prevent the ice tray from freezing to the

surface.

To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the

thermostat to position 5 for a short while. Remember

to turn the dial to its normal setting when the ice cubes

are frozen.

To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under

running water. The ice cubes can now be taken out

easily.

7. Useful suggestion

Do not overfill the appliance. Put warm foods

and drinks in the appliance only when they have

cooled down to room temperature. It is advisable to

leave some space between the products in the

cabinet to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the

shelves are packed too tightly there may be

unacceptable temperature variations.

8. Defrosting, cleaning and

maintenance

Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces

and it must not be allowed to become too thick

since it acts as an insulator and interferes with the

cooling.

This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY

LOGIC system built into the appliance by switching

off the unit for two hours in every 24 hours. The

frost will melt and the defrost water will run through

the drain tube from the drip channel into an

evaporating vessel located at the bottom rear of the

refrigerator. (Fig 6) The defrost water will evaporate

automatically into the circulating air and the vessel

will not need emptying manually.

If we want to switch off the unit, turn the thermostat

knob to "0", disconnect the refrigerator from the

electricity supply and leave the cabinet door open.

After defrosting the cabinet interior should be

wiped out with a clean, damp cloth.

9. Changing the lightbulb (If available)

If the lightbulb needs changing, pull out the plug

and proceed as follows:

Press the metal reflector to one side and draw the

lamp covering backwards. Replace the bulb and

push the covering back into place.

A new 10-watt bulb can be obtained at any service

shop.

10. Reversing the door hang, (Fig. 7)

Lay the appliance on its back. Remove the 8

screws (1). Remove the door, together with the two

hinges (2), from the housing.

Remove the two cover caps (3) from the housing

and place them in the open hinge holes in the

housing. Place the bottom righthand hinge in the

top left of the door and the top righthand hinge in

the bottom left of the door and hang the door on its

hinges in the open cover cap holes in the housing.

Secure the hinges and cover caps with the 8

screws.

Check that the door closes easily and is sealed

properly.
