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 appliance 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 control regulates the temperature both within the fridge and the freezer compartment. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the appliance 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

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; 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.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad drawers.

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 salad drawers.

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.

To Start the Appliance

Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.

Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. Open the fridge door. Turn the thermostat control to a midway setting (3-4) and adjust the slider control to a midway position between ÒcoldÓ and ÒcoldestÓ. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

To switch off the appliance turn the thermostat control to position ÒOÓ

Use of an air circulation slider control - COOL FLOW SYSTEM

Your appliance has an air circulation slider control situated at the rear of the fridge compartment, which controls the amount of cold air circulated through the fridge compartment.

When the ambient temperature is between 10¡C and 16¡C, the slider control should be in the ÒcoldÓ position.

When the ambient temperature is above 16¡C the slider control should be midway between ÒcoldÓ and ÒcoldestÓ.

When the ambient temperature is very high (i.e. hot summer days) position the slider control to ÒcoldestÓ.

The meat box can also be used for storing salad.

Positioning the door shelves

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

Use and features of the CRISPÕN FRESH filter

ÒCrispÕn freshÓ is the glass shelf on top of the salad drawers 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.
