Thermostat Control
The freezer and fridge thermostats control the temperature inside the freezer and refrigerator respectively.
The Freezer Temperature Control (Control panel )
The freezer temperature control, regulates the temperature within the freezer compartment. A change in the
control setting in the freezer compartment could affect
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment under
certain circumstances.
7 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
• Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature settings, allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stablise before making further
changes.
The Fridge Temperature Control (Control panel )

Using the Appliance
This appliance is designed for domestic use
only, specifically for storage of edible foodstuffs.
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures
(surrounding air temperature) between 10°C (50°F) and 32°C
(90°F).
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the
appliance may not operate correctly.
Before Use
Remove all transit packaging.
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not
use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing alcohol.
Starting the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
2. Insert plug into mains socket. Within 20 seconds the electronics carry out a system test and switch the appliance on.
The ON/OFF button lights up in green, the interior lighting
comes on and the appliance starts working.
Starting up when the appliance is switched
off:
Press the ON/OFF button continuously for 3 seconds. The
appliance will start operating after a 4 minute delay and the
internal light will switch on. The ON/OFF button will illuminate.
The temperature alarm (a beeping sound) may come on
during the start up phase. If this happens push the temperature alarm button.
3. Set the thermostat controls for the fridge and freezer compartments. See Control Panel section.
4. To ensure safe food storage, allow the appliance to operate with the doors closed for at least 3 hours, before loading
with food.
Freezer Compartment
The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder allowing for
long-term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.
Freezing Fresh Food
The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours
is shown on the rating plate and in the technical specifications
section of this instruction book.
When freezing fresh foods, press the fast freeze button 3 hours
before placing the food into the freezer compartment.
When the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze function.
The fast freeze function automatically switches off after 36
hours..
The Temperature alarm may sound if a lot of new food is put
into the freezer, due to a rise in temperature. The alarm will
switch off automatically, as the freezer temperature drops.
Push the alarm button to switch off the audible signal.
Frozen Food storage
The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder allowing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of
fresh food.
Pre packed commercially frozen food should be stored in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions for a 4 star
frozen food compartment and should be put in the freezer
as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides
for long-term storage which generally means up to 3
months but the length of the time can vary and it is important to follow the recommended times shown on packets of
commercially frozen food.
Refrigerator Compartment
This compartment is designed to store drinks and fresh
food. The inner temperature is normally uniform and is
kept cool by cold circulating air. Try to avoid putting food
products flush against the air vents at the back of the fridge as this could cause the foods to freeze.
Fresh Compartment
The temperature is kept typically at 1-2 degrees lower than
the average temperature in the fridge. Use the compartment for foods that are marked typically for storage at 05°C for longer preservation. Adjusting the fridge temperature to cooler or warmer affects the chiller temperature in
the same way. Avoid stacking large amounts of warm food
on top of already cold food, as this will raise the temperature of the food previously stored in the fresh box. Do not
use the fresh box, as a zone for rapid cooling at it is not
designed for this.

Food Storage
Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat,
such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room
and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet
are not obstructed.
• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by pac-
king all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room tem-
perature before placing in the fridge or freezer.
• Food that is to be frozen (when cool) should be pla-
ced in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.
• Do not put any hot food into the fridge or freezer.
• Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the
refrigeration unit.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods,
or opening the door too frequently as warm air will
enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
• To obtain the best results from your appliance, neit-
her hot foods nor liquids, which may evaporate
should be placed in the larder compartment.
• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it
straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen
food in the freezer immediately.
• Keep the time between buying chilled food and pla-
cing it in your fridge as short as possible.
• Do not push food together too much; try to allow air
to circulate around each item.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight con-
tainers before putting it into the fridge freezer.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labeled and used in date order to ensure
that food is consumed at its best.
• Remove suspect food from your fridge freezer
and clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’.
• Do not put any newly introduced food for free-
zing near to already frozen food
• Food and drinks, which have a strong odor,
may affect other foods and drinks if not stored
correctly.
In the Event of a Power
Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise do not refreeze
the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you.
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruit and Vegetables: If soft should be cooked
and used up.
Bread and Cakes: Can be refrozen 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 ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken:
Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.
