Instruction for use

 

 

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. 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. 3

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. 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 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.

EN

Instruction for use

 

 

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 sharpedged 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.

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 (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 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; 4 e.g. petroleum based products.

Store bananas in your fridge compartment.
Store melon in your fridge. It can be chilled for short periods as long as it is wrapped to prevent it flavouring other food.
Cover the shelves with any protective materials which may obstruct air circulation.
Store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your appliance. It has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
Consume food which has been refrigerated for an excessive length of time.
Store cooked and fresh food together in the same container. They should be packaged and stored separately.
Let defrosting food or food juices drip onto food.
Leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the appliance more costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.
Use sharp edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice.
Put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down first.
Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the freezer, as they may burst.
Exceed the maximum freezing loads when freezing fresh food.
Give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer. The low temperature may cause 'freezer burns' on lips.
Freeze fizzy drinks.
Try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen. Remove items from the freezer with wet hands.
