OPERATION
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by
a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» ( 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 setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment depends on the following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible
that because a very low temperature has been selected, the motor is working continuously, which prevents
the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should
be selected on the thermostat and you should notice
that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is cor rect.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the
thermostat to a higher number; however you should
turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic
defrosting.
Storing deep-frozen foods
The compartment marked reaches a temperature of –18 ° C and is therefore suitable for storing
ice-creams and deep-frozen food.
For best use of the compartment, the following points shoud be noted: ensure that the deep-frozen products have been correctly stored by the shop-keeper; keep transport times from the shop to your
home to a minimum; do not exceed the storage period
specified by the manufacturer; when the freezer has
not been used for some time; run it for at least two
hours with the thermostat dial set to the lowest temperature before placing food inside and then reset to
normal operation; do not open the door if there is a
power failure. If the compartment is full and
the failure does not last long, the food will not be affected; otherwise, you are advised to consume it soon
after.
Ice cubes
Refrigerators with the compartment are provided with an ice cube tray.
This tray must be filled with drinking water and placed
in the compartment.
Never use metal tools to detach the tray.
13
HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have
been removed from many pre-prepared food. This
together with the changes in shopping habits to a
once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and
storage of food is even more important than ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure that
the food in your home is in as perfect condition as
possible.
ª
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22 ° C in an hour between the supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get
down to 7 ° C in the refrigerator.
ª
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible. Remember that warm air is flowing in as you
are deciding what to have for tea!
ª
Do not push food together too much, try to allow air
to circulate around each item.
ª
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food
in a place as cool as possible in order that it can
then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
ª
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean the interior with a solution of bicarbonate of
soda in warm water (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
ª Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
ª Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the refrigera-
tor door. Discard any broken or cracked eggs.
ª Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to ensure
that it is clean and free from bits and pieces.
ª Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry
them with a clean towel before handling food.
ª Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contam-
ination by not using the same work surface or knife,
without washing them thoroughly in between.
ª Use kitchen roll wherever possible for cleaning up
food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it frequently.
ª
Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in
separate containers. Take care not to let the meat
juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip,
remove everything and clean thoroughly.
ª
Do not store food uncovered.
14
Fresh food refrigeration
Defrosting
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 & game): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crispers.
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 crispers.
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.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners
so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
Fig. 19
D040
The refrigerator compartment evaporator is automatically defrosted every time the compressor stops. The
water drains out through a channel (Fig. 20) into a
bowl located at the base of the back of the appliance,
where it evaporates.
In the compartment, the frost must be removed using the plastic scraper provided whenever a
thick layer accumulates (approx. 4 mm). Do not use
metal tools to remove the frost – they can cause serious damage.
Is is not necessary to switch the appliance off or take
the food out of the compartment during this operation.
If a thick layer of ice forms, the appliance must be
completely defrosted.
Proceed as follows:
set the thermostat dial to the «O» position or unplug
the appliance;
wrap the deep-frozen food in several sheets of news-
paper and put in a cool place;
leave the door open and, if you wish to speed up de-
frosting times, place a bowl of very hot water inside
the compartment (with a sheet of cardboard
underneath);
soak up the water that collects on the bottom with a
sponge and dry the walls thoroughly;
reset the thermostat dial to the required position or
plug the appliance in again. After running for two or
three hours, it will be ready to store deep-fr ozen foods
again.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel (Fig. 20) to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the discharge hole.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS,
HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR
WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS
THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A
STRONG SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods
and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Changing the light bulb
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the
appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply,
then replace the bulb as follows, see Fig. 21.
Fig. 21
D206
Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward toward the middle of the cabinet. Unscrew the bulb and
replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available from your
nearest Tricity Bendix Service Centre).
Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original position and replacing the screw.
