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.
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 ensure the freezer has
reached the correct temperature.
Then you can put in your already
frozen food.
7. 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.
8. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
9. We recommend that you set
the thermostat at 3 and monitor
the temperature to ensure the
appliance maintains desired
storage temperatures (see
section Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
10. 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.
Page 15

5 Using your refrigerator
Temperature Control And Adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled
by the control (see diagram) located
on the ceiling of fridge compartment.
Settings may be made from min, 1 ...
6, max, max being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on
for the first time, the setting 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 control 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 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 appliance.
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.

Suggested Arrangement Of
Food In The Fridge/Freezer
Arrangement Examples (See diagram)
2. The freezer compartment is
rated and suitable for the freezing of
fresh food and storage of pre-frozen
food. The recommendation for
storage as stated on the food packaging
should be observed at all times.
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in
airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be
placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and
stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door
section.
6. 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.
7. Keep the food packed wrapped or
covered. Allow hot food and beverages
to cool before placing them in the fridge.
Do not store explosive substances.
High proof alcohol must be stored
upright in sealed containers. Left over
canned food should not be stored in
the can.
8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen
and products such as flavoured water
ices should not be consumed too cold.
9. 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.
10. Place chilled cooked food and
similar food near the rear of the fridge
inner liner where the cold wall is located.
11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins,
drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all
removable.
1. Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy
products, cans.
2. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
3. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
4. Making, storing ice cubes.
5. Frozen food.
6. Frozen food and freezing of fresh
food.
7. Butter, cheese.
8. Small bottles, cans, tubes.
9. Eggs.
10.Tall/Large bottles.
The following guidelines and
recommendations are suggested to
obtain the best results and storage
hygiene.
1. The fridge compartment is for the
short term storage of fresh food and
drinks.

16
12. Do not leave frozen food at room
temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge
to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid
defrosting food or food juices drip onto
other food.
13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap
food using a suitable packaging material
before storing in your appliance to avoid
contact with the appliance surface.
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.
To ensure that the high quality achieved
by the frozen food manufacturer and
the food retailer is maintained, the
following should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labelled
and dated.
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging.
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 which is 4 kg
(8.8 lb)
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the
thermostat towards MAX. Small
quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb)
can be frozen without having to rotate
the temperature control.
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.
Page 18

17
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.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are
not consumed for several weeks and
stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly
reduce in size and eventually disappear
completely.
Defrosting
A) Fridge Compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water
runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(1). (see diagram) During defrosting
water droplets may form at the back
of the fridge compartment where
concealed evaporator is located. Some
droplets may remain on the liner and
refreeze when defrosting is completed.
Do not allow items in the fridge to touch
the back wall as the water droplets will
make them wet. Do not use pointed or
sharp edged objects such as knives,
forks to remove the droplets which
have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not
drain from the collection channel, check
to ensure that no food particles have
blocked the drain tube. The drain tube
can be cleared by pushing the special
plastic plunger provided down the drain
tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about
1/4”(7 mm), reduce the setting (i.e. from
4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting
B) Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.
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
(eg dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any
protective materials, which may
obstruct air circulation.

6 Maintenance and cleaning
• We recommend that you switch off
the appliance at the socket outlet
and pull out the mains plug before
cleaning.
• Never use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
• Use luke warm water to clean the
cabinet of the appliance and wipe it
dry.
• 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.
• Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing.
• 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.
• 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.
• Check door seals regularly to ensure
they are clean and free from food
particles.
• Removal of door rack
• To remove door racks, remove all the
contents and then simply push the
door rack upwards from the base.
• To remove a freezer drawer, pull
it as far as possible, and then tilt
it upwards, and then pull it out
completely.
• To remove the freezer flap door, first
open the door 3” and then gently
pull it off. Make sure that the flap is in
place before closing the freezer door.
• Make sure that the special plastic
container (drain tray) at the back of
the appliance which collects defrost
water is clean at all times. If you want
to remove the tray to clean it follow
the instructions below :
• Switch off at the socket outlet and
pull out the mains plug.

a screw driver & pull out with a jerk
movement
• Clean the drain tray and wipe it dry.

and operations.
• Avoid spillage of food particularly
small items like rice, peas, beans
through the fan guard as they may
cause the cooling system to block
and therefore operate less efficiently.
