Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information.

This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

¥ This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken

when moving it.

¥ It is dangerous to alter the specifications or

attempt to modify this product in any way.

does not stand on the electrical supply cable. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable available from your local Service Force Centre.

¥ Any electrical work required to install this

appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

¥ Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

¥ The appliance should be left for 2 hours after

installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Child Safety

¥ Do not allow children to tamper with the controls

or play with the product.

¥ Keep all packaging well away from children.

During Use

¥ This appliance is designed for domestic use only,

specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

¥ Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has

thawed out.

¥ Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the

freezer.

¥ Do not remove items from the freezer if your

hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

¥ Ice lollies can cause Ôfrost/freezer burnsÕ if

consumed straight from the freezer.

¥ ManufacturersÕ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

¥ The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves

in this appliance contain channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this will cause substantial damage to the appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off the lining or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw, when defrosting the appliance. See Defrost Instructions.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

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.

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 & wild fowl): 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.

Dual purpose meat box

The meat box can also be used as a salad crisper.

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.

Use and features of the CRISPÕN AND FRESH filter

ÒCrispÕn freshÓ is the glass shelf on top of the salad crispers which is fitted with special removable green filters.

These filters allow cool air from the fridge to circulate through the drawers but help prevent moisture loss. By retaining moisture in foods such as fresh fruit, vegetables and salad they are kept fresher for longer.
