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 (A) to a midway
setting (3-4) and adjust the slider control, situated on
the back wall of the fridge section, to a midway
position between ÒcoldÓ and ÒcoldestÓ. The pilot light
(B) will light up. 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 Ò●Ó

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.

COOL FLOW SYSTEM

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.

INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures between 10¡C (50¡F) and 32¡C (90¡F).
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of
direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature
e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold
room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may
fall below 10¡C (50¡F). If these temperatures are
exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance
may not operate correctly.

You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There
must also be at least 100 mm (4Ó) distance between
the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen
furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be
positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).

There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of
the appliance. Do not obstruct the space
underneath.

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant
documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted
into special holes in the back of the appliance.

Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure
that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the
diagram. Then turn them through 45¡ (arrow (A)
vertical) until they lock into place.

DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.

Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet
using your fingers.

Positioning the door shelves

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

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.
