Control panel

A - Pilot light

B - Thermostat control knob

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. Turn the thermostat control (B) to a midway setting and adjust the slider control, situated on the back wall of the fridge section, to a midway position between “1” and “6”. The pilot light (A) will illuminate. 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 “

■”

Setting the temperature

The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the appliance.

To operate the appliance proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the «

■» position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness

Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat control knob to the required position.

The intermediate position is usually the most suitable.

The thermostat control knob 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:

– room temperature

– how often the door is opened

– how much food is stored

– 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.

Use of an air circulation slider control - COOL FLOW CONTROL

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 “MIN” position.

When the ambient temperature is above 16°C the slider control should be midway between “MIN” and “MAX”.

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

Warning

If using the appliance with the salad drawer removed, please ensure the vent in the back wall of the appliance is not obstructed.

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.

Positioning the inner shelves

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

For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie over the rear ones.
