Suggested arrangement of food in the
appliance

Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and
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. 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.

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.

13. To take out the baskets from the freezer
compartment please proceed as in item 12.

14. In order to transform the chill compartment
(used for easy perishable products - Item 1-point

6) into a vegetable box it is necessary to
assembly in the rear side of the bottom glass shelf
the ornament (Item 13) delivered as accessory
according to the picture Item 14 (point a-c).
If the ornament will be not assembled the
compartment (Item 1-point 6) will have biofresh
functionality.

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 ...
6, max, max 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 half way between the min and max
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.
The normal storage temperature of the freezer
should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may
be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards max
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.

GB Instruction for use

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 19 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.
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, to reach the best
freezing capacity, put the setting knob to
maximum position 24h before placing it. After
freezing the knob can be set to the initial 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 sharp­edged 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.
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 6).

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 7 & 8).
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on
the electricity supply.

Warnings!

The fans inside the freezer and fresh food
compartments circulates cold air. Never insert any
object through the guard. Do not allow children to
play with the fresh food andfreezer 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 fan guards to ensure that you
obtain the best possible performance from your
appliance. (Item 9 and Item 10)

Warning!

Your appliance is fitted with a circulating fan which
is essential for the performance of the refrigerator.
Please ensure the fans are 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.
