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.

Starting-up and temperature
regulation

Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the
refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, to be
found on the upper right side of the inner liner,
clockwise, from the ÇOÈ position, to start the
appliance. Temperature adjustment is obtained by
turning the thermostat knob to the required setting. A
medium setting of between 2-4 is generally the most
suitable. However, the thermostat knob setting
should be adjusted depending on the temperature
required inside the appliance. This, in turn, depends
on a number of factors such as the ambient
temperature, the number of times the door is
opened, the quantity of food stored and the location
of the appliance. Turn the knob clockwise, to higher
numbers, to obtain a lower temperature, or
anticlockwise if a higher temperature is required.

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
correct.

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.

The freezer compartment

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

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the same thermostat which controls the temperature
within the fridge. Normally, it is not necessary to
adjust the thermostat setting when freezing fresh
food.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 3 kg. of fresh
food.
Place food to be frozen on the shelf of the freezer as
this is the coldest part.
The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best
quality.
The size of each pack should be small enough to
ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs freeze
quickly.
Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,
salt reduces the storage time.
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airtight seal. Stick a label on each pack
showing the contents and date of freezing. This
makes it easy to check storage times.
Containers with a lid must not be filled to the brim.
Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in the
freezer next to food which is already frozen as this
could cause the temperature of the frozen food to
rise and its quality and storage life to reduce.

Important

In the event of a power cut if you do not open the
door the food in the freezer will be affected if the
power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should
the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen.

Warning

After having closed the freezer door, wait 1 or 2
minutes before trying to open it again. The vacuum
created inside the freezer makes it difficult to re­open immediately.

Frozen food storage

If the freezer has been out of use for some time, we
advise you to run your appliance for at least two
hours with the thermostat control to the highest
number before storing frozen food.

Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward.
The packs can be placed beside each other or on
top of each other.

You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food
in the compartment as quickly as possible after
purchase. Also ensure that the external packaging is
intact. Packaging which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate
that the product has not been kept at a suitable
temperature and that it may have lost its original
quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it
must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed
the storage times indicated.

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.

¥ A thermostat controls the compressor, and you

will hear a faint ÕclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in
and out.

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 & wild fowl): 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.

Do not open the freezer door too often and do not
leave open longer than necessary.

Warning

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

Ices Iollies, 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.

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, 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
any type of frozen or deep-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.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more trays for
ice-cubes trays.

Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand
and place them in the freezer compartment.

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

Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove
the trays from the freezer.

7

Movable shelves

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

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.

To do this proceed as shown in the diagram:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows
until it comes free, then reposition as required.

Because of consumer demand, preservatives
have been removed from many pre-prepared
foods. 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.

¥ 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.

¥ Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as

possible.

¥ Do not push food together too much, try to allow

air to circulate around each item.

¥ Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do

NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a cool place in order that it can then be
put in the refrigerator as soon as possible).

¥ 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.

¥ Do not store food uncovered.

¥ The best way to defrost food is to put it in the

refrigerator to thaw slowly.

¥ Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and

clean (refer to ÒMaintenance and Cleaning).

¥ Never allow spillages to dry and harden.

¥ Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated

and labelled and used in date order to ensure
that food is consumed at its best.

¥ It is important that food is used before its Òbest

beforeÓ date.

¥ Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the

refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.

¥ Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to

ensure that it is clean and free from debris.

¥ Always wash your hands with soapy water and

dry them with a clean towel before handling food.

¥ Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross

contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly
in between.

¥ The fresh foods to be frozen must be fresh and of

the best quality.

¥ The size of each pack should be small enough to

ensure that it is used in one go . Small packs
freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better
results.

¥ Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.

Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty
food, salt reduces the storage time.

¥ Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing

bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airlight seal .

¥ Packaging which is swollen or has traces of

refrozen water droplets on the pack could
indicate that the product has not been kept at a
suitable temperature and that it may have lost its
original quality. Partially thawed food must not be
refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated.

¥ Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy

drink in the freezer as they may explode.
Containers with a lid must not be filled to the
brim.

¥ Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in

the freezer next to food which is already frozen
as this could cause the temperature of the frozen
food to rise and its quality and storage life to
reduce .

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and
vegetable drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.

D037

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do
NOT use abrasive products.

An accumulation of dust will affect the performance
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.

You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched
OFF.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance,
with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure.

D273

CONDENSER

COMPRESSOR

DEFROST
TRAY

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 ODOUR.

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;

Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by
pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb
and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available
from your nearest Service Force Centre).

Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original
position and replacing the screw.

D731

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 doors ajar
to prevent unpleasant smells.

Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.

Freezer

The freezer compartment will become progressively
covered with frost.

When the frost has reached a thickness of up to
4mm it can be removed using a plastic scraper.
During this operation it is not necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the mains and remove
the food. Never use metal tools for this operation.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried
out.

For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)
proceed as follows:

- Turn the thermostat dial to the ÇOFFÈ position
(O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains.

- Remove any food from inside the freezer and
fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and
store in a cool,dry place.

- Leave the door open.

- Clean and dry thoroughly.

- Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset
the thermostat to a functioning position.

- After letting the appliance run for a least half an
hour, replace the previously removed food into
the compartment.

Important

When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also
controlled by the thermostat and will not be
operational during this period. A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.

Attention!

In the event of a power failure causing the
temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re­freeze the food without checking its condition.
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.

Important

The central hinge is designed to allow a certain amount
of side clearance (play), i.e. approx. 3 mm horizontally,
which makes it easy to line up the two doors by
proceeding as follows:
Loosen the two screws securing the hinge to the
cabinet.
Carefully position the hinge until the two doors are
perfectly aligned, then firmly screw down the hinge in its
new setting (position).

Reversing door handles

Remove the handle by unscrewing the two fastening
screws.
Remove the plastic plugs from the screw holes of the
new handle location and refit them in the free holes
onthe opposite side;
Refit the handle upside-down, on the opposite side of
the door.

Attention

After completion of the door reversing operation, check
that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the
ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket
may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for
the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this
process by heating up the part involved with a normal
hairdrier.
