[. . . ] Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal. The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards max position. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed. If the ambient (room or garage) temperature is between 0 °C and -15 °C, we recommend you adjust the knob to setting 4 to reach -18 C in the freezer compartment. Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards max position. 10 STARTING Final Check Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that: 1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE. " Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. · When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal. "Due to operation of the fan inside the frost free freezer compartment, overall noise level is slightly higher in comparison to non-frost free appliances. This is quite normal and is not a fault. " Set the setting knob half way between min and max. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment)" When the freezer reaches the desired temperature the freezer fan will stop. When the freezer fan is on, the noise will be louder when the freezer door is opened. Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate less efficiently. FREEZING FRESH FOOD Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 4 kg (8. 8 lb) Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control knob.
