GB Instruction for use

Electrical requirements

Before inserting the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating plate inside the appliance corresponds to your electricity supply. We recommend that this appliance is connected to the mains supply via a suitably switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position.

Warning! This appliance must be earthed.

Repairs to electrical equipment shou performed by a qualified technician. Incorrect repairs carried out by an unqualified person are carry risks that may have critical consequences for the user of the appliance.

ATTENTION!

This appliance operates with R600a which is an environmental friendly but flammable gas. During the transportation and fixing of the product, care must be taken not to damage the cooling system. If the cooling system is damaged and there is a gas leakage from the system, keep the product away from open flame sources and ventilate the room for a while.

WARNING - Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, others than those recommended by the manufacturer. WARNING - Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. WARNING - Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Transportation instructions

1. The appliance should be transported only in an upright position. The packing as supplied must be intact during transportation.

2. If during the transport the appliance, has been positioned horizontally, it must not be operated for at least 4 hours, to allow the system to settle.

3. Failure to comply with the above instructions could result in damage to the appliance, for which the manufacturer will not be held liable.

4. The appliance must be protected against rain, moisture and other atmospheric influences.

Important!

• Care must be taken while cleaning/carrying the appliance not to touch the bottom of the condenser metal wires at the back of the appliance, as this could cause injury to fingers and hands.

• Do not attempt to sit or stand on top of your appliance as it is not designed for such use. You could injure yourself or damage the appliance.

• Make sure that the mains cable is not caught under the appliance during and after moving, as this could damage the cable.

• Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.

Installation instructions

1. Do not keep your appliance in a room where the temperature is likely to fall below +10 degrees C (50 degrees F) at night and/or especially in winter, as it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between +10 and +38 degrees C (50 and 107 degrees F). At lower temperatures the appliance may not operate, resulting in a reduction in the storage life of the food.

2. Do not place the appliance near cookers or radiators or in direct sunlight, as this will cause extra strain on the appliance's functions. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances: From Cookers 30 mm From Radiators 300 mm From Freezers 25 mm

3. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation (Item 2).

• Put the back airing lid to the back of your refrigerator to set the distance between the refrigerator and the wall (Item 3).

4. The appliance should be positioned on a smooth surface. The two front feet can be adjusted as required.To ensure that your appliance is standing upright adjust the two front feet by turning clockwise or anticlockwise, until firm contact is secured with the floor. Correct adjustment of feet prevents excessive vibration and noise (Item 4).

5. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.

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. In order to freeze fresh food it is recommended to pack the products in aluminium or plastic sheet, cool them in the fresh food compartment and store them on the freezer compartment shelf.

It is preferable that the shelf be fixed in the upper side of the freezer compartment. 5 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

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 and may be set at any position between 1 and 5 (the coldest position). If the thermostat knob is in position "0" the appliance is off. In this case neither the lamp for inside lighting will light. 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

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.

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.

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

failure lasts for less than 16 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.
