Suggested arrangement of food in the
appliance
Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and
hygiene:
EN Instruction for use
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 prefrozen 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, 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. In case
of a temporary ice build up in the fridge
compartment, reduce the setting to Min, monitoring
at the same time, that the fridge temperature is
maximum +5 degrees C [41 degrees F]. Once the
ice build up disappears and the appliance starts
auto defrosting again as normal, then you may
increase the setting, if required.
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.
3
EN Instruction for use
If there is a power failure, do not open the door.
Frozen food should not be affected if 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
continuously 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.
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 completely
automatic. No intervention from your side is
required. The water is collected on the
compressor tray. Due the heat of the
compressor the water is evaporated
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 (e.g. 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
To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of
your refrigerator, call your Authorised Service.
The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable
for household room illumination. The intended
purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place
foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and
comfortable way. The lamps used in this
appliance have to withstand extreme physical
conditions such as temperatures below -20°C.
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 lukewarm 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
