[. . . ] Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as salad crisper and top part of the cabinet) which is quite normal. We recommend that you check the temperature periodically with a thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept to this temperature. Frequent door openings cause internal temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to close the door as soon as possible after use. Final Check Before you start using the appliance check that: 1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on. When the door is open the interior light will come on. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor is running or not. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is not a defect. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. B) Freezer compartment Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting. do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects , such as knives or forks to remove the frost. Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. Sponge out the defrost water collected in the bottom of the freezer compartment. After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Item 8 & 9). Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. If the light still fails, replace E14 screw-cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your local electrical store and then fit it. [. . . ] We recommend you to start the thawing at least 24 hours before the use of the frozen food. Do not keep the door of the appliance open more than necessary and make sure that after each opening the door is well closed. Trouble - shooting If the appliance does not operate when switched on, check; · that the plug is inserted properly in the socket and that the power supply is on.
