4 Before operating

Final Check

Before you start using the fridge/
freezer 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. Clean the interior as recommended

under “CLEANING AND CARE.”

4. Insert the plug into the wall socket

and switch on the electricity supply.

Avoid accidental disconnection
by taping over the switch. Green

and red lights will glow and the
compressor will start running.

5. You will hear a noise as the

compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.

6. If you are going to store already
frozen food open the freezer door and
check that the fast-freeze switch is

at off (the amber light will not come

on). The red light will go out when
the freezer has reached the correct

temperature. Then you can put in

your already frozen food. (See Storing
Frozen Food page 10)..

7. If you are going to freeze

fresh food, you must press the

fast-freeze switch. The amber

light will come on and you must
wait at least three hours before
putting in your fresh food to

be frozen. (See Freezing Fresh
Food, Page: 11).

8. “ Slight undulation of the top of

the cabinet is quite normal due to the

manufacturing process used, so do
not worry, it is not a defect.

9. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.

10. We recommend that you
set the thermostat knob at 3
and monitor the temperature to
ensure the appliance maintains
desired storage temperatures
(see section Temperature

Control and Adjustment).

11. Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on.
Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached.
We recommend that you check
the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see; Temperature

Control and Adjustment).

Important Notes :

1. If there is a power failure do not
open the door. Frozen food should not

be affected if the failure lasts for less

than 16.5 hours. If the failure is longer,

then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked

and then re-frozen.

2. If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed

it, don’t worry. This is due to the
pressure difference which will equalise
and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.

3. Always wrap food using a suitable

packaging material before storing
in your appliance to avoid contact
with the appliance surface and food
remains for hygiene reasons.

5 Using your refrigerator

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT

INDICATOR LIGHTS

There are three coloured indicator
lights located on the front of the
appliance which shows the operating

mode of the freezer.

Green Indicator (1)

Illuminates when the appliance is

connected to the mains and will glow
as long and

electricity is available. The green light
will not glow if the thermostat is set

in the’0’(OFF) position. The green

indicator does not give any indication

of the temperature inside the freezer.

Amber Indicator (2)

This indicator will glow when the fast

freeze switch (4) is on and will continue
to glow until the fast freeze switch is

turned off. The compressor will run

continuously while fast freeze switch is
on. Fast freeze operation is for freezing
fresh food (see Freezing Fresh Food,
page 11).

Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:

a. If the pre-set temperature can not

be maintained.

b. If excessive amounts of fresh food

are placed inside.

Temperature is controlled by the
thermostat which is located on the rear
wall of the cabinet (see the diagram on

page 5). Thermostat knob is located
on the indicator light set. “Number 4”

is the coldest setting (see the diagram

on page 8).

The normal storage temperature of

your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F).

Lower
temperatures may be obtained by

adjusting the thermostat knob towards

'number 4 ' position.
We recommend that you check the

temperature with a 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.

EN

c. If the appliance door is left open

accidentally.

Thermostat knob (5)

Thermostat knob is located on the
indicator light set.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepacked commercially frozen food

should be stored in accordance

with the frozen food manufacturer’s

instructions for a frozen food
storage compartment.

The freezing area is marked with

symbol on the door liner.

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly

as possible after purchase.

2. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging.

3. Please note that drawers, baskets,
flaps, trays are all removable.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Freezing capacity of your appliance in
a 24 hours period is 10.5 kg (23 lb).
Never exceed this maximum capacity.

If you are going to freeze fresh food in
excess of 2 kg. (4.5 lb) turn on the fast
freeze switch and wait for about three

hours before placing the fresh food in

the freezer. Remember to turn off the
fast freeze switch.

Fast freeze compartment (7) is
shown in diagram. Leave the fast
freeze switch on for about 24 hours
if the maximum quantity (10.5 kg /
23 lb) is being frozen.

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 centre as quickly
as possible.
You may place fresh food to be
frozen in any part of the freezer.

Take special care not to mix already

frozen food and fresh food.
If the fast freeze compartment (7) is filled

with fresh food, other
compartments can also be used to

freeze fresh food. Ice-bank (6) has

been specially designed to obtain ice

cubes (see Making Ice Cubes).

MAKING ICE CUBES

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water

and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen
frozen trays with the handle of a spoon,
never use sharp edged objects such as
knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Ice
Bank.

You can also freeze small soft fruits like
strawberries in the Ice Bank tray.

DEFROSTING

Defrost twice a year or when a frost

layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.

To start defrosting procedure turn the

thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the

freezer 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).

EN

15

Remove all freezer drawers.The special
defrost collection basin collects the
defrost water. Therefore defrosting can
be conducted without mess.

Containers full 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, forks to remove
the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters
and other similar electrical

appliances for defrosting.

When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects at
the bottom of the freezer and dry the
interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat
knob to 2 and press fast freeze switch.
Close the freezer door. Insert the plug
into the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply. Don't forget to tape
over the switch to avoid accidental
disconnection.After about three hours
you may turn off the fast freeze switch.
