INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between 10¡C (50¡F) and 32¡C (90¡F). It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below 10¡C (50¡F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly.

You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There must also be at least 100 mm (4Ó) distance between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).

There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath.

Rear spacers

In the bag with the documentation, there are two spacers which must be fitted as shown in the figure.

Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the screw head, then re-tighten the screws.

DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.

Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet.

Warning

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

Depending upon the position which you choose for your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions on ÒDoor reversal directionsÓ paragraph.

PR107

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

OPERATION

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the appliance is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an ÒOFFÓ (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness

Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.

The intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4).

The thermostat control regulates the temperature both within the fridge and the freezer compartment. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the appliance depends on the following factors:

Ð room temperature

Ð how often the door is opened

Ð how much food is stored

Ð position of the appliance

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad drawers.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the salad drawers.

Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

To Start the Appliance

Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.

Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. Open the fridge door. Turn the thermostat control to a midway setting (3-4) and adjust the slider control, situated on the back wall of the fridge section, to a midway position between ÒcoldÓ and ÒcoldestÓ. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

To switch off the appliance turn the thermostat control to position ÒOÓ

Use of an air circulation slider control

Your appliance has an air circulation slider control situated at the rear of the fridge compartment, which controls the amount of cold air circulated through the fridge compartment.

When the ambient temperature is between 10¡C and 16¡C, the slider control should be in the ÒcoldÓ position.

When the ambient temperature is above 16¡C the slider control should be midway between ÒcoldÓ and ÒcoldestÓ.

When the ambient temperature is very high (i.e. hot summer days) position the slider control to ÒcoldestÓ.

Vent

Warning

If using the appliance with the salad drawer removed, please ensure the vent in the back wall of the appliance is not obstructed.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.

The door shelves can be easily removed for cleaning. Gently ease the shelf in the directions shown.

Adjustment of the door shelves can be made to accommodate varying heights of bottles and other containers. Store light items such as small cartons and jars on the door shelves.

The bottle shelf can be used for the storage of heavier bottles.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with two plastic ice cube trays.

Fill the trays 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and place them in one of the freezer drawers.

To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to release the cubes.

The freezer compartment

The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods.

Freezing fresh food

When freezing fresh foods set the slider control to the ÒcoldÓ position and turn the thermostat control to a higher setting.

In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 6 kg.

Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.

After 24 hours reposition the slider control and thermostat control to previous setting.

Important

To ensure correct operation of the appliance do not use the appliance with the basket or drawers removed.

Thawing

Frozen food can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Important!

In the event of a power failure - DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full.

If the temperature in the freezer rises, and the food begins to thaw, do not re-freeze the food without checking its conditions.

The following guidelines should assist you.

Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded. Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and

used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger. Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up

quickly. Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up. Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them. Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be refrozen as cooked dishes. Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.

Frozen food storage

Frozen food can be stored in any basket or drawer of the freezer compartment, including the fast freeze compartment.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin burns.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.
