4 Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/
freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for
perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can
circulate freely at the rear of the
cabinet.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under “Maintenance and cleaning.”
4. 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.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. 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.
6. Set the thermostat knob half way
between 1 and 5.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
8. Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait until
the correct storage temperature has
been reached. We recommend that
you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer (see
Temperature control and adjustment).
EN
19
5 Using your refrigerator
Temperature control and
adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled
by the thermostat knob (see diagram)
located on the ceiling of fridge
compartment. Settings may be made
from 1 to 5, 5 being the coldest
position.
When the appliance is switched
on for the first time, the thermostat
should be adjusted so that after 24
hours, the average fridge temperature
is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We
recommend you set the thermostat
half way between the 1 and 5 setting
and monitor to obtain the desired
temperature i.e. towards 5 you will
obtain a colder fridge temperature and
vice versa. 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 thermostat knob towards 5
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.
In case of a temporary ice build up in
the fridge compartment, reduce the
thermostat setting to 1, monitoring
at the same time that the fridge
temperature is maximum +5 degrees
C [41 degrees F]. Once the ice builds
up disappears and the appliance
starts auto defrosting again as normal,
then you may increase the thermostat
setting, if required.

Suggested arrangement of
food in the fridge/freezer
Arrangement Examples (see diagram):
1.
Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy
products, cans.
2.
Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
3.
Fruit, vegetables, salads.
4.
Making and storing ice cubes,
frozen food and freezing of fresh food.
5.
Frozen food.
6.
Butter, cheese, small bottles, cans,
tubes.
7.
Eggs.
8.
Tall, large bottles, beverages.
The following guidelines and
recommendations are suggested
to obtain the best results and
storage hygiene.
1. The fridge compartment is for the
short term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is
rated and suitable for the freezing
and storage of pre frozen food. The
recommendation for
storage
as stated on the food packaging
should be observed at all times.
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in
airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be
placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and
stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door
section.
6. To store raw meat, wrap in
polythene bags and place on the
lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into
contact with cooked food to avoid
contamination. For safety, only store
raw meat for two to three days.
7. Keep the food packed wrapped
or covered. Allow hot food and
beverages to cool before placing them
in the fridge. Do not store explosive
substances. High proof alcohol must
be stored upright in sealed containers.
Left over canned food should not be
stored in the can.
8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen
and products such as flavoured water
ices should not be consumed too cold.
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer
damage if kept at temperatures near
0°C. Therefore, wrap pineapples,
melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
similar produce in polythene bags.

10.
Place chilled cooked food and
similar food near the rear of the fridge
inner liner where the cold wall is located.
11.
Shelves, racks, crisper bins,
drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all
removable.
12.
Do not leave frozen food at room
temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge to
thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid
defrosting food or food juices drip onto
other food.
13.
For hygiene reasons, always wrap
food using a suitable packaging material
before storing in your appliance to avoid
contact with the appliance surface.
Storing frozen food
Pre packed commercially frozen food
should be stored in accordance with
the frozen food manufacturer’s
instructions for a frozen food
storage compartment.
To ensure that the high quality
achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, the following should be
remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labelled
and dated.
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging. If
there is a power failure do not open
the door. Frozen food should not
be affected if the failure lasts for
less than 20 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked
and then re-frozen.
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
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.
When freezing fresh food turn the
setting knob towards max. Small
quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb.)
can be frozen without having to rotate
the temperature control knob.
You may place fresh food to be frozen
in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the Ice Bank.
Loosen frozen trays with the handle of
a spoon, never use sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks. Store
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not
consumed for several weeks
and stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly
reduce in size and eventually
disappear completely.

Defrosting
A) fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically.
The defrosting water runs to the drain
tube via a collection container at the
back of the appliance (1) (see diagram).
During defrosting water droplets may
form at the back of the fridge
compartment where concealed
evaporator is located. Some droplets
may remain on the liner and refreeze
when defrosting is completed. Do not
use pointed or sharp edged objects
such as knives, forks to remove the
droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not
drain from the collection channel, check
to ensure that no food particles have
blocked the drain tube. The drain tube
can be cleared by pushing the special
plastic plunger provided down the drain
tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about
1/4” (7 mm), reduce the setting (i.e. from
4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting.
B) freezer compartment
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order to
prevent decaying of the frozen food.
Defrosting is very easy and without mess
thanks to a special defrost collection well.
Defrost twic
e a year or when a frost layer
of around 7 mm (1/4”) 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
la
yers of newspape
r and stored in a cool
place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all
freezer drawers. Containers
full 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, forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical
heaters and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects at
the bottom of the freezer well and dry the
interior thoroughly. Insert the plug
in to the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply.
Warnings!
Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant ga
s
(e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any
protective materials, which may
obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the
appliance or tamper with the controls.
Warning:
Do not use any copper pot, dish inside
the cabinet!
Do not load any food without package!
