The timer is a device for automatic defrost.
After a certain time him activate the heaters
who produce the defrost of your refriferator.
The fan has the purpose to provide the
circulation of the air in compartment. It is
connected in parallel with the motorcompressor. When the motor-compressor is
off, the fan will also be off.
Suggested arrangement of food in
the appliance
Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and
hygiene:
1. The fridge compartment is for the shortterm 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. Dairy products should be stored in the
special compartment provided in the door
liner.
4. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight
containers.
5. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on
the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be
cleaned and stored in the crispers.
6. Bottles can be kept in the door section.
7. 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.
8. For maximum efficiency, the removable
shelves should not be covered with paper or
other materials to allow free circulation of cool
air.
9. Do not keep vegetable oil on door
shelves. Keep the food packed, wrapped or
covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool
before refrigerating. Leftover canned food
should not be stored in the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and
products such as flavoured water ices should
not be consumed too cold.
11. 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.
12. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright
in tightly closed containers. Never store
products that contain an inflammable
propellant gas (e.g. cream dispensers, spray
cans, etc.) or explosive substances. These
are an explosion hazard.
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
setting knob (Item 5) located on the ceiling of
fridge compartment. Settings may be made
from min, 1 ... 4, 4 being the coldest
position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first
time, the setting knob 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 knob on 2
position between the min and max 4 setting
and monitor to obtain the desired temperature
i. e. towards max 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.
3
GB Instruction for use
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.
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect
levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely
at the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under
"Cleaning and care.”
4. 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.
And note that:
5. 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. This is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is
quite normal due to the manufacturing process
used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the knob midway and
monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance
maintains desired storage temperatures (See
section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend
checking the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term
storage of commercially frozen foods and also
can be used to freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door.
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 14 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
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.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment
causes the refrigeration machine to operate
continously until the food is frozen solid. This
can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the
refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the setting knob
at medium position. Small quantities of food up
to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting
the temperature control knob.
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 freezer. Loosen frozen trays with
a spoon handle or a similar implement; never
use sharp-edged objects such as knives or
forks.

GB Instruction for use
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a
collection container at the back of the appliance
(Item 6).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at
the back of the fridge compartment where a
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 or forks to
remove the droplets which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain
from the collection channel, check that no food
particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared with a pipe-cleaner or
similar implement.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with
its end in the collecting tray on the compressor
to prevent the water spilling on the electric
installation or on the floor (Item 7).
B) Freezer compartment
The NO FROST type defrost is compleetly
automatic. No intervention from your side is
requiered. The water is colected on the
compressor tray. Due the heat of the
compressor the water is evaporated
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.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment
circulates cold air. Never insert any object
through the guard. Do not allow children to play
with the freezer fan.
Never store products that contain inflammable
propellant gas (eg 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.
Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure
that you obtain the best possible performance
from your appliance. (Item 10)
Warning!
Your appliance is fitted with a circulating fan
which is essential for the performance of the
freezer. Please ensure the fan is not blocked
(stopped) or impaired by food or packaging.
Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can
result in an increase of the internal freezer
temperature (Thawing).
Replacing the interior light bulb
(Item 11)
In case that the light bulb is out of function it is
easily to replace. First make sure that the
refrigerator / freezer is disconnected from the
power supply by removing the plug. Take a
flat screwdriver and keep it carefully without
force into the left gap between lamp cover and
internal cabinet. Then press the handle of the
screwdriver carefully to the left side until you
notice that the left pin of the cover is
disengaged . Repeat this procedure on the
right gap, however now press the handle of
the screwdriver carefully to the right side. If
both sides are loosened the cover can be
removed easily.
Ensure that bulb is screwed securely in the
bulb holder. Plug the appliance into the power
supply. If the light still fails, replace E14
screw-cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your
local electrical store and then fit it. Carefully
dispose of the burnt-out light bulb
immediately.
If you have changed the light bulb please fix
the cover again in it’s former position. Take
care that the cover snaps-in correctly.

Information about operating noises
To keep the selected temperature constant,
your appliance occasionally switches ON the
compressor.
The resulting noises are quite normal.
As soon as the appliance has reached the
operating temperature, the noises
automatically reduce in volume.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor
(compressor). When the motor switches ON,
the noise may briefly increase in volume.
An sudden click can be heares some times
due to the timer changing position
The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is
emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through
the pipes.
The clicking noise can always be heard when
the setting knob ON/OFF the motor.
A clicking noise may occur when
- the automatic defrosting system is active.
- the appliance is cooling down or warming up
(material expansion).
If these noises are excessively loud, the
causes are probably not serious and are
usually very easy to eliminate.
- The appliance is not level - Use the height-
adjustable feet or place packing under the
feet.
- The appliance is not free-standing - Please
move the appliance away from kitchen units
or other appliances.
