Using the Appliance

This appliance is designed for domestic use
only, specifically for the storage of edible
foodstuffs.

The appliance is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between
10 °C and 32 °C.

If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or
warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly.
Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for
long periods, the temperature in the freezer section
will rise above -18 °C and food spoilage may occur.

Before Use

Remove all packaging and 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.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or products containing alcohol.

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to
the mains socket.

The thermostat knob is on the light box in the
refrigerator. You can switch the appliance on and set
the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.

The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

)

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.

3. The thermostat interrupts the cooling automatically
for more or less time depending on the setting then
restarts it assuring the required temperature.

The closer it is set to maximum position the more
intensive the refrigerating will be. When the
thermostat knob is set to a medium position
(between minimum and maximum), in the freezer a
temperature colder than -18°C, in the refrigerator
around +5°C can be reached. Setting it to a
medium position is adequate for everyday use.

The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is
effected by not only the position of the thermostat
but the ambient temperature, frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food put into it newly,
etc.

In the maximum position - in case of

increased demand e.g. during heatwaves ­the compressor may operate continually. This
does not cause damages to the appliance.

GB

7

The Refrigerator

Below is the recommended storage positions for
various food types:

1. Ready-cooked foods, fresh meat, cold cuts.

2. Milk, dairy products.

3. Fruits, vegetables, salads.

4. Cheese, butter.

5. Eggs.

6. Yoghurt, sour cream.

7. Small bottles, drinks.

8. Large bottles, drinks.

Do not allow children to tamper with the
controls or play with the product.

Storage Shelves

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

To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.

Storage Times

The storage chart at the end of the instruction book
gives information on storage times in the refrigerator
compartment. The storage times quoted are intended
as a guide only.

Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as
this will affect the air circulation within the
refrigerator compartment.

Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot
foods to reach room temperature naturally before
placing in the refrigerator.

Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before
placing them in the refrigerator, this prevents any
transference of food smells.

4. Leave the appliance for approximately 2 hours for

the correct temperature to be reached before
placing food inside.

GB

8

The Freezer

Freezing fresh food

The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of
quantity specified on the data label. Freezing different
products should always be done after proper
preparing as follows.

Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.
Put the previously frozen food to another basket or

baskets. Put the fresh food into the upper basket,
leaving enough space for airflow.

Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to

your choice or leave it in a medium position, which is
in general appropriate for everyday cooling needs.

Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g.

maximum) position is not recommended.
Although doing so would make the freezing time
shorter, on the other hand the temperature of the
fridge compartment may go permanently below 0°C,
what yields freezing the food and drinks stored there.

Never freeze food in bigger quantity than

given in the "Technical data" at the same
time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and
after dissolving various deterioration may take
place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).

Do not make ice during freezing preferably,

because making ice reduces freezing capacity.

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing
frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.

Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than is necessary.

It is practical to replace frozen products into the
basket(s)after freezing has finished. Doing this you
could make room in the freezing compartment for
another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.

In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the
baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and
place food on the shelves.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin
burn.

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and the

freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the
food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips)

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

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
in 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 compartment by using pointed

or sharp edged objects.

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 freezer:

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.

enance and Cleaning

enance and Cleaning

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 foods
and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to
prevent unpleasant smells.

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the
appliance.

Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature
increases in the cooling chambers, they need more
energy.

At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface
of the refrigerator is automatic without any external
intervention. The termostatic control interrupts the
operation of compressor at regular intervals for more
or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - the
temperature of the cooling surface goes above 0°C
due to interior heating load of the compartment, so
defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of
the cooling surface has reached +3 - +4°C the
thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.

GB

11

Melting water flows through defrost water outlet
leaded through the back into the evaporator tray
maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates
due to its warmth.

Check and clean the outlet of melting water

coming during defrosting regularly - a label
inside the appliance warns you for this. If it is
clogged the melting water gathered can cause
earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the
appliance.

Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the outlet.

The most typical case of clogging up in the melting
water outlet when you put food wrapped in some
paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back
plate of the refrigerator and freezes to it. If you remove
the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it
can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it.

So you are asked to be careful - because of the above

- when placing foods wrapped in paper into the
appliance.

In case of increased demand e. g. during

heatwawes, the refrigerator temporarily happens
to operate constantly - during this the automatic
defrosting does not work.

Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of
the refrigerator after defrosting period is not abnormal.

Defrosting of the freezer is automatic in this model.

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.

)

To Change the Light Bulb

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

Break the circuit of the appliance.
Press the rear hook (1) and at the same time slide the

cover in the direction indicated by the arrow (2). So
the bulb can be replaced. (Bulb type: T 25 230-240
