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
thermostat knob (Item 5) and may be set at
any position between 1 and 5 (the coldest
position).
The average temperature inside the fridge
should be around +5°C (+41°F).
Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain the
desired temperature. Some sections of the
fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as
salad crisper and top part of the cabinet)
which is quite normal. We recommend that
you check the temperature periodically with a
thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept
to this temperature. Frequent door openings
cause internal temperatures to rise, so it is
advisable to close the door as soon as
possible after use.

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 thermostat 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 18 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, keep the
thermostat 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.

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 pipe­cleaner or similar implement.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with
its end in the collecting tray on the compressor

4

GB Instruction for use

to prevent the water spilling on the electric
installation or on the floor (Item 7).

B) Freezer compartment

Defrosting is very straightforward and without
mess, thanks to a special defrost collection
basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of
around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the
defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance
at the socket outlet and pull out the mains
plug.
All food should be wrapped in several layers
of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g.
fridge or larder).
Containers of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.

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.

Replacing the interior light bulb

(Item 10).
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.

Cleaning and care

1. We recommend that you switch off the
appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug before cleaning.

2. Never use any sharp instruments or
abrasive substances, soap, household
cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.

3. Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet
of the appliance and wipe it dry.

4. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution
of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one
pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it
dry.

5. Make sure that no water enters the
temperature control box.

6. If the appliance is not going to be used for
a long period of time, switch it off, remove all
food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

7. We recommend that you polish the metal
parts of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet
sides) with a silicone wax (car polish) to
protect the high quality paint finish.

8. Any dust that gathers on the condenser,
which is located at the back of the appliance,
should be removed once a year with a
vacuum cleaner.

9. Check door seals regularly to ensure they
areclean and free from food particles.

10. Never:

• Clean the appliance with unsuitable material;
eg petroleum based products.

Energy Consumption

Maximum frozen food storage volume is
achieved without using the drawers provided
in the freezer compartment. Energy
consumption of your appliance is declared
while the freezer compartment is fully loaded
without using the drawers.

Practical advice concerning the reduction
of the electricity consumption

1. Make sure that the appliance is located in
well-ventilated areas, far from any source of
heat (cooker, radiator etc.). At the same time,
the location of the appliance must be done in
such a way that it prevents it to be under the
direct incidence of the sunbeams.

2. Make sure that the food purchased in
refrigerated/frozen condition is placed into the
appliance as soon as possible, especially
during summertime. It is recommended to use
thermal insulated bags to transport the food
home.

3. We recommend the thawing of the packets
taken out from the freezer compartment be
done in the refrigerator compartment. For this
purpose, the packet which is going to be
thawed will be placed in a vessel so that the
water resulting from the thawing does not leak
in the refrigerator compartment. We
recommend you to start the thawing at least
24 hours before the use of the frozen food.

4. We recommend reducing the number of
door openings to the minimum.

5. Do not keep the door of the appliance
open more than necessary and make sure
that after each opening the door is well
closed.

GB Instruction for use

Information concerning the noise
and the vibrations which might
appear during the operation of the
appliance

1. The operation noise can increase during
the operation.

- In order to keep the temperatures at the

adjusted temperatures, the compressor of
the appliance starts periodically. The noise
produced by the compressor becomes
stronger when it starts and a click can be
heard when it stops.

- The performance and operation features of

the appliance can change according to the
modifications of the temperature of the
ambient environment. They must be
considered as normal.

2. Noises like liquids flowing or as being
sprayed

- These noises are caused by the flow of the

refrigerant in the circuit of the appliance and
comply with the operation principle of the
appliance.

3. Other vibrations and noises.

- The level of noise and vibrations can be

caused by the type and the aspect of the
floor on which the appliance is placed. Make
sure that the floor does not have significant
level distortions or if it can yield to the weight
of the appliance (it is flexible).

- Another source of noise and vibrations is

represented by the objects placed on the
appliance. These objects must be removed
from the appliance

- The bottles and the vessels placed in the

refrigerator touching each other. In such
cases move the bottles and the vessels so
that there is a small distance between them.

Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not operate when
switched on, check;

• That the plug is inserted properly in the

socket and that the power supply is on. (To

check the power supply to the socket, plug

in another appliance)

• Whether the fuse has blown/circuit breaker

has tripped/main distribution switch has

been turned off.

supplémentaire des fonctions de l’appareil. S’il
est installé à côté d'une source de chaleur ou
d'un congélateur, respectez les dégagements
latéraux minimum suivants :
des Cuisiniènes 30 mm
des Radiateurs 300 mm
des Congélateurs 25 mm

3. Assurez-vous de laisser suffisamment

d’espace autour de l’appareil pour que l'air

puisse circuler librement (figure 2).

• Placez la grille d’aération au dos de votre

réfrigérateur pour établir la distance nécessaire
entre le réfrigérateur et le mur (figure 3).
