The back of the appliance should be close to a solid
wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation
as stated in the installation instructions.
• The appliance should be left for 2 hours after
installation before it is turned on, in order to allow
the refrigerant to settle.
Child Safety

• Keep all packaging well away from children.
General Safety
• This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorised
technicians.
• Take utmost care when handling your appliance
so as not to cause any damages to the cooling
unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.
• The appliance must not be located close to
cookers, radiators or boilers.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to
direct sunlight.
• Do not use other electrical appliances (such as
ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating
appliances.
During Use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only,
specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs.
• Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has
thawed out.
• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer.

OPERATION
Before using
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 and the
freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6
temperature positions and an “OFF” (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
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.
The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting
when freezing fresh food.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 4 kg. of fresh
food.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
If large quantities of food are to be stored , remove
all drawers and baskets from the appliance and
place food on cooling shelves.
Frozen food storage
When first starting-up or after a period of use, before
putting the products in the freezer compartment let
the appliance run for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the
normal opertion position.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin
burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit
stated on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).
Caution
In the event of a power cut do not open the door.The
food in the freezer will not be affected if the power
cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen .
DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE
REFROZEN.

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/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
• 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.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for
ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand
and place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight
twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove
the trays from the freezer.
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 & poultry or chicken):
wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad
crispers.
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 crispers.
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.
Thawing
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in
the fridge or at room temperature depending on the
time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has
not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the
placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in
the oven.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Cold accumulators
The appliance is equipped with two cold
accumulators. If there is a power outage, they will
extend food conservation for a few hours.
6
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired .
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.To make
these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows
until it comes off, then reposition as required.
The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.Whether the upper or
lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before
freezing.
