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.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an ÒOFFÓ (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 refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:

Ð room temperature

Ð how often the door is opened

Ð how much food is stored

Ð position of the appliance

Important

During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.

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.

¥ 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 & poultry or chicken): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above 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.

Page 6

Positioning the inner shelves

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

D040

Positioning the door shelves

The door shelves can be easily removed for cleaning. Gently ease the shelf in the directions shown.

Adjustment of the door shelves can be made to accommodate varying heights of bottles and other containers. Store light items such as small cartons and jars on the door shelves. The bottle shelf can be used for the storage of heavier bottles.

D758

Food Storage

¥ To obtain the best results from the 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 refrigerator 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.

¥ Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and

clean, refer to Maintenance and Cleaning.

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.

¥ Always leave warm food to cool down to room

temperature before placing in the fridge.

¥ 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.

¥ It is advisable to peridocally clean the

refrigeration system at the back of the appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
