Control Panel

The appliance controls are located in the top panel inside the refrigerator compartment.

Thermostat Control

The freezer and fridge thermostats control the temperature inside the freezer and refrigerator respectively.

1. The Freezer Temperature Control

The freezer temperature control, regulates the temperature within the freezer compartment. A change in the control setting in the freezer compartment could affect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment under certain circumstances.

7 Maximum coldness

1 Minimum coldness

An intermediate position is usually the most suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:

Room temperature

How often the door is opened

How much food is stored

Position of the appliance

In determining the correct temperature control setting all of these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.

When altering the temperature settings, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilise before making further changes.

2. The Fridge Temperature Control

The fridge temperature control regulates the temperature within the fridge compartment, by regulating the cold airflow. An intermediate setting is usually the most suitable, although some experimentation may be necessary to obtain the correct temperature.

5 Maximum coldness

1 Minimum coldness Standby

Turn the control knob to the standby position if you wish to switch off the fridge, but leave the freezer in operation (for example, when on holiday). Leave the doors shut when in Standby operation.

5. Temperature Alarm

If the internal temperature inside the appliance is too high for the safe storage of frozen food, an alarm will sound and the temperature alarm button light will start to flash. The temperature may rise for the following reasons:

The doors have been left open

There has been a power failure

A large quantity of food has been added to the appliance.

The thermostat controls may be incorrectly set.

There is a fault.

To switch off the alarm, press the alarm button. The audible signal will stop. The light will stop flashing, but will remain on until the internal temperature has reached the correct storage temperature for frozen food.

6. Fast Freeze Button

Freezer Compartment

The freezer will store frozen food at -18ºC or colder allowing for long-term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.

Freezing Fresh Food

The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate and in the technical specifications section of this instruction book.

When freezing fresh foods, press the fast freeze button 3 hours before placing the food into the freezer compartment.

When the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze function. The fast freeze function will automatically cancel after 36 hours.

The Temperature alarm may sound if a lot of new food is put into the freezer, due to a rise in temperature. The alarm will switch off automatically, as the freezer temperature drops. Push the alarm button to switch off the audible signal.

Frozen Food storage

The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder allowing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.

Pre packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the manufacturers instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should be put in the freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for long-term storage which generally means up to 3 months but the length of the time can vary and it is important to follow the recommended times shown on packets of commercially frozen food.

Refrigerator Compartment

This compartment is designed to store drinks and fresh food. The inner temperature is normally uniform and is kept cool by cold circulating air. Try to avoid putting food products flush against the air vents at the back of the fridge as this could cause the foods to freeze.
