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).
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 «0» position.
Setting “1”: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting). Turn the thermostat control knob to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most suitable.
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:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Control panel
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
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”.
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. 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 “0”

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.
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.
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.

The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
When freezing fresh foods set the slider control to the “min” position and turn the thermostat control to a higher setting.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 6 kg. of fresh food.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
After 24 hours reposition the slider control and thermostat control to previous setting.
Important
To ensure correct operation of the appliance do not use the appliance with the basket or drawers removed.
Thawing
Frozen food 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.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Frozen food storage
Frozen food can be stored in any basket or drawer of the freezer compartment, including the fast freeze compartment.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Ices Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power failure - DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. If the temperature in the freezer rises, and the food begins to thaw, do not re-freeze 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 re-frozen 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 re-frozen 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 re-frozen as a cooked dish.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
