OPERATION
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or
detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by
a thermostat control knob with 6 temperature
positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
l
Room temperature
l
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stablise before making further
changes.
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot
weather, if the thermostat is set on too high
a number, the cooling system may operate
continuously and the fridge cooling plate
may not defrost. Turning the knob to a
lower number will cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature,
turn the thermostat knob to a higher
number, however you should turn the
setting lower occasionally to allow
automatic defrosting.

Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover
or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective material,
such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may
obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry):
wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf
on top of the salad bin.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one
or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad bin.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners
so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
The door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as figure.
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and the
bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in the
director of the arrows, then refitting them in position.

The following tips should help you to ensure that
the food in your home is in as perfect condition
as possible.
■
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
■
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
■
Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
■
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a cool place in order that it can then be
placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
■
Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be
in separate containers. Take care not to let the
meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does
drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly.
■
Do not store food uncovered.
■
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean (Refer to “Maintenance and Cleaning”).
■
Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
■
Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.
■
Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
■
Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry
them with a clean towel before handling food.
■
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work surface
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in
between.

Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at
the rear, to the cooling plate.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods.
This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and
storage of food is even more important than ever.
7
DEFROSTING
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the
fridge, periodically clean the water
discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped
drip collector at the back of the refrigerator
compartment behind the salad bin. Use the
special cleaner provided which you will find
already inserted into the discharge hole.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorised
technicians.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS,
HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR
WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS
THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE
A STRONG SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular
intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never
obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.
Important
Do not use abrasive products.
External cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do
NOT use abrasive products.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with
a brush or vacuum cleaner, see the figure.
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched OFF.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of
the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
For this appliance to work efficiently, it must not be
located where the temperatures will fall below 10°C
(50°F) or rise above 32°C (90°F), e.g. conservatories.
For correct operation this appliance must be located in
a dry atmosphere, away from heat sources, e.g.
cookers, radiators, boilers and direct sunlight.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There
should be 100mm (4”) between the top of the cabinet
and any overhanging kitchen furniture. Alternatively
allow 50mm (2”) between the top of the cabinet and
any overhanging kitchen furniture and a gap of 25mm
(1”) on either side of the appliance.
Do not obstruct the space underneath. The back of the
cabinet may be placed close to the wall but must not
touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted
ventilation.

Door reversal
Before carrying out the operations described below,
pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.
To carry out this reversal go through the following
steps:
1. Gently lay the appliance on its back with the top
held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of
packing.
2. Remove the bottom door hinge (5).
3. Remove the door (4) by opening it and pulling it
gently downwards to remove it from the top hinge
pin (2).
4. Unscrew the top hinge pin (2) from the top hinge (1)
and replace it in the opposite hole on the left hand
side.
5. Unscrew the foot at the base (6) of the appliance
and refit it on the opposite side.
6. Refit the door and the bottom hinge (5) to the left
hand side.
7. Unscrew the handle (3). Refit it on the opposite side
after having pierced the plugs with a punch. Cover
the holes left open with the plugs contained in the
documentation pack.
When positioning the bottom hinge blade on the
reverse side, the securing screws will require a
degree of force when fitting.
It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips
before starting this operation.
Important
After completion of the door reversal operation,
verify that the door gasket is sealing onto the
cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e.
in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the
cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting
of the gasket or accelerate this process by
heating up the part involved with a normal
hairdryer on a low setting.
