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 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
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.

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.

Cool Check Guide
The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip sealed in a shelf trim.
When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature to store food the guide will appear black. If the temperature rises above this level the guide will show the words TOO WARM.
Positioning of the Cool Check
The shelf with the cool check temperature guide must be placed in the fridge according to the instructions located on the fridge wall and always ensure the guide is at the front.
If the Cool Check shows TOO WARM
In certain conditions the temperature guide may show TOO WARM if:
¥ The fridge is switched off
¥ The door has been recently opened
¥ A quantity of warmer food has been introduced
into the fridge
¥ The fridge temperature is above the
recommended maximum for the safe storage of food.
The cool check will change to show ÒTOO WARMÒ very quickly after the door has been opened. It will however take a number of hours to return to black, indicating that the temperature is correct.
The appliance should be left overnight and the cool check examined in the morning. If the cool check shows TOO WARM, turn the thermostat to a colder setting leave overnight and examine again the following morning.
Hints and Tips
¥ The guide is only suitable for use in the model
supplied.
¥ The guide will not operate in the freezer
compartment.
¥ When cleaning the shelf take care not to immerse
in water, and wipe away any spills.

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 ÒcoldÓ 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.
I mportant
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 Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.
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.
Ice cube tray holder
The holder is designed to hold the two ice cube trays supplied and it is recommended that these are used. The holder can be located onto the front of any of the baskets.
To make ice cubes:
Fill the trays 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and place in the ice cube tray holder.
To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to release the cubes.
