Operation
Before use
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 control knob with 6 temperature
positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
•
Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
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.
Low room temperature switch
The appliance is designed to operate in room
temperatures of 16°C to 38°C, or down to 10°C if the
low room temperature switch is switched on. The low
room temperature switch should be depressed when
the room temperature drops below 16°C (the
incorporated lamp will illuminate). If the room
temperature drops below the above figures the
temperature in the freezer may rise above -18°C,
then safe storage of frozen food can no longer be
guaranteed. It is most likely that the low room
temperature switch will need to be depressed
throughout the winter to allow for low overnight
temperatures. No damage can be caused by leaving
the switch in this position for a period of time but
energy will be wasted.

The refrigerator compartment
Fresh food refrigeration
The coldest area of the refrigerator is the lower part,
above the salad bin.
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
could obstruct the air circulation.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry):
wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad
bin.
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 bin.
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.
5
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with
runners so that shelves can be positioned as
desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelf can lie
over the rear one (see fig.).
The door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as in the figure.
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and
the bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in
the director of the arrow, then refitting them in
position.
Helpful hygiene tips
• 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
for raw and cooked food without washing it
thoroughly in between.
• Use clean kitchen roll wherever possible for
clearing up food. If you use a dishcloth be sure to
boil it frequently.
• Regularly remove suspect food from your
refrigerator and clean the interior with a solution of
bicarbonate of soda in warm water (5 ml to 0.5 litre
of water). Never allow spills to dry and harden.
• Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
• Make sure that food is used before its «best
before» date.
• Cool food as quickly as possible but don't place in
refrigerator or freezer until cool. (Leave food in a
place as cool as possible in order that it can be
placed in the refrigerator or freezer without delay).
• Do not store food uncovered.
• 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.
The freezer compartment
Freezing fresh food
When starting up the appliance for the first time or
after a period of non use, position the thermostat to a
medium setting (3 or 4) and leave for at least 4 hours
before placing the food to be frozen inside.
If you wish to fast-freeze a quantity of fresh food,
press the ambient switch (light on) located near the
thermostat knob. Leave it on this position for 24
hours before placing in the food and set it back to
normal position 24 hours after placing the fresh food
in the freezer.
If the switch is already depressed no further
adjustment is required.
The products for freezing should be placed in the
upper drawer and then transferred to the lower
drawers so that the compartment is left free for the
next freezing operation.
The maximum freezing capacity is 3 kg/24 hours.
Never exceed the quantity indicated in one freezing
batch.
Frozen food storage
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward.
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top
of each other.
In the first compartment, produce must only be
stacked up to the mark on the drawer to ensure air
circulation is not obstructed.
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.
Do not open the freezer door too often and do not
leave open longer than necessary.
