Ecological hints

To save energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints.

Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat such as a boiler or radiator.

Locate the appliance in a well-ventilated room and make sure that any air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.

Pack all foods into airtight packages before placing them into the freezer compartment.

Food, which is to be frozen (when cool), should be placed in the fridge compartment before being transferred to the freezer.

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.

Positioning

This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:

SN +10°C to + 32°C

N +16°C to + 32°C

ST +18°C to + 38°C

T +18°C to + 43°C

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 . If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly.

The floor where the appliance is placed must be flat and level. If necessary, make adjustments with the positioning feet.

Important

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

Electrical connection

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Should the appliance power supply cables need to be replaced, this must be carried out by a Service Force agent (see page 22)

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s rating plate. (See picture on page 5).

The appliances are supplied with 3 x 13amp independent plugs.

In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below.The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug.

Proceed as follows:

1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the

terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E"or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.

3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.

4. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

WARNING: A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

The plugs must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable.

Switching off

The appliance is switched off by holding in button (B) for more than 1 second. After this, a countdown on the temperature display from -3 -2 -1 will be shown.

When the appliance is switched off, the display (D) also goes off.

Temperature setting buttons

The temperature is adjusted using the “C“ (+) and “E“ (-) buttons.These buttons are connected to the temperature display.

The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two buttons,“C“ (+) or “E“ (-).

Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.

If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temperature.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do 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 through them.

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

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad drawer.

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 bottom salad drawer.

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.

Normal operating sounds

• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.

• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

Using the refrigerator

Before use

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.

Temperature display

The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.

During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.

When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).

Quick cool

The Quick cool function is suitable for quickly cooling large quantities of fresh food in the refrigerator.

The Quick cool function is switched on by pressing the Quick cool button "G".The yellow light

illuminates. The Quick cool function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours.

The Quick cool function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the Quick cool button again.

The yellow light goes out.
