Using the Appliance

Before Use

Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml 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.

To Start the Appliance

1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after installation.

2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.

4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

Thermostat Control

The thermostat control situated inside the refrigerator regulates the temperature of both compartments. Thermostat control is marked from 1-5 the higher the number, the colder the setting.

Position 0 - Off Position 1 - Cold Position 5 - Coldest

With the control knob set at 3 the temperature inside the fresh food compartment is +5 °C or lower and the temperature inside the frozen food compartment is

-18 °C or lower.

Hints for storage

Below is the recommended storage positions for various food types:

1. Storing frozen foods, making ice. Freezing fresh foods.

Hints & T

ips

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing.

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 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your appliance:

Neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate, should be placed in the larder compartment.

Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible.

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid. 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.

Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.

Do not store food uncovered. 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.

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.

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 by the manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

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

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

Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.

Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge 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.

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. Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and

used up.

Breads & 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 refrozen 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 refrozen as a

fresh dish.

Page 8

Thawing

Deep frozen or 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.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes

1. Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full with cold water, place on

the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.

2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under

running water for a few seconds.

Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer shelf by using pointed or sharp edged objects.

Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.

The shelves can be re-arranged by opening the door to 90°

The door shelves are also adjustable.

To allow the air to circulate whitin the fridge compartment do not cover the wire shelves with paper or trays.

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

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the

appliance from the electricity supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml 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.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)

and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

When the Appliance is not in Use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator 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.

Maint

enance and Cleaning

Page 9

Freezer

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost reaches

/4.

During this operation it is not necessary to switch of the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty.

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

1 Turn the thermostat dial to the "OFF" position (O) or

disconnect the appliance from the mains.

2 Remove any food from inside the freezer and

fridge; wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool, dry place.

3 When defrosting is complete, dry the interior

thorough.

4 Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the

thermostat to 5 (coldest) and leave to run for at

least four hours. 5 Replace the previously removed food. 6 Return the thermostat to the normal position.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair.

Changing the Light Bulb

Should the light fail to work you can change it as below:

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Remove the lamp cover retaining screws, then take

the lamp cover off in the direction of arrow and the bulb can be changed. (Type of the bulb: 230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)

After changing bulb replace the lamp cover and retaining screws and reconnect the appliance to the electricity supply.
