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 of the cabinet.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
• When the door is open the fridge
interior light will come on.
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.
“Due to operation of the fan inside the frost free freezer compartment, overall noise level is slightly higher in comparison to non-frost free appliances. This is quite normal and is not a fault.”
6. Set the setting knob half way
between min and max.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
8. “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)”
9. When the freezer reaches the desired temperature the freezer fan will stop. When the freezer fan is on, the noise will be louder when the freezer door is opened.
10. 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.
13
EN
5 Using your refrigerator
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting knob (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 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.
If the ambient (room or garage)
temperature is between 0 °C and
-15 °C, we recommend you adjust
the knob to setting 4 to reach -18 C in the freezer compartment. Lower temperatures may be obtained by
adjusting setting knob towards max
position.

EN
SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
Arrangement Examples (See diagram)
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, beverages.
11. Winerack
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.
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. 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.
EN
15
11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins,
drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all removable.
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
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.
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.
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.
If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
16
When freezing fresh food turn the
setting knob towards. Max small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb)
can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control knob.
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.
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.
EN
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 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.
· 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.
