PREPARING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running

correctly, take the following steps.

1. Install removed all shelves and compartments during transport

in the correct positions.

2. Clean the fridge/freezer and accessories to remove any dust

that accumulated during packing and shipping.

3. The interior light will be turned on when the refrigerator

4. Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and let

the refrigerator operate for one hour. The freezer should get

slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly with a soft

hum and no noise. Your fridge / freezer is operated by a

compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the

internal temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires

running in for a period of up to five months. During this

period, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does

not represent a fault.

5. Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is

sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after starting the

refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.

If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the

electricity supply. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
