4Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/
freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for
perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can
circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
• When the door is open the fridge
interior light will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.
“Due to operation of the fan inside
the frost free freezer compartment,
overall noise level is slightly higher
in comparison to non-frost free
appliances. This is quite normal and is
not a fault.”
6. Set the setting knob half way
between min and max.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
8. “Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait until
the correct storage temperature has
been reached. We recommend that you
check the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see; Temperature Control
and Adjustment)”
9. When the freezer reaches the
desired temperature the freezer fan will
stop. When the freezer fan is on, the
noise will be louder when the freezer
door is opened.
10. Avoid spillage of food particularly
small items like rice, peas, beans
through the fan guard as they may
cause the cooling system to block and
therefore operate less efficiently.

EN
13
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND
ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled
by the setting knob (see diagram)
located on the ceiling of fridge
compartment. Settings may be made
from min, 1 ... 6, max, max being the
coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for
the first time, the setting knob should
be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the
average fridge temperature is no higher
than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend
you set the knob half way between
the min and max setting and monitor
to obtain the desired temperature i. e.
towards max you will obtain a colder
fridge temperature and vice versa.
Some sections of the fridge may be
cooler or warmer ( such as the salad
crisper and the top part of the cabinet )
which is quite normal.
The normal storage temperature of
the freezer should be -18°C (0°F).
Lower temperatures may be obtained
by adjusting setting knob towards max
position.
We recommend that you check
the temperature with an accurate
thermometer to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired
temperature.
Remember you must take your reading
very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door
is opened cold air escapes and the
internal temperature rises. Therefore
never leave the door open and ensure
it is closed immediately after food is put
in or removed.
If the ambient (room or garage)
temperature is between 0 °C and -15
°C, we recommend you adjust the knob
to setting 4 to reach -18 C in the freezer
compartment. Lower temperatures
may be obtained by adjusting setting
knob towards max position.
STORING FRESH FOOD
Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in
polythene bags or aluminium foil. This
prevents drying.
Wrap fish and offal in polythene bags
and place on the lowest shelf.DairyWrap
cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and
then in polythene bag excluding as
much air as possible. For best results
take out of the fridge
compartment an hour before eating.
Wrap bread well to keep it fresh.Fruit &
vegetablesTake off any unusable leaves
on vegetables and wipe off any soil.
Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and
cauliflower on the stem.
Wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers,
tomatoes and similar produce in
polythene bags as these types of
produce may suffer damage if kept at
very low temperatures.
Wrap food, which has a strong odour,
or can dry out, in polythene bags,
aluminium foil, or place in an airtight
container.

FRİDGE COMPARTMENT
STORAGE ADVİCE
Fruit & vegetables
Don’t store bananas.Don’t store
melon - it can be chilled for short
periods as long as it is wrapped to
avoid it flavouring other food.
Wrap food affected by
temperatures near 0°C (pineapples,
cucumbers,tomatoes etc.) in polythene
bags.
Meat & poultry
Store raw meat and poultry below
cooked food and dairy products.
Do not allow raw meat to come into
contact with cooked food to avoid
contamination. For safety, only store
raw meat for two to three days.
General
Cooked dishes must be stored in
airtight covered containers.Don’t store
cooked and fresh food together in the
same container.Always allow hot food
and beverages to cool first.Leftover
canned food should not be stored in
the can.
Place chilled cooked food and similar
food near the rear of the fridge where it
is coldest.
Keep food for as short a time as
possible and adhere to ‘best before’
and ‘use by’ dates.
Don’t let defrosting food or food
juices drip onto other food.Do not fill
water tank with any liquid other than
drinking water; beverages such as fruit
juice, carbonated fizzy soda drinks,
alcoholic drinks are not suitable for use
with water dispenser. If such liquids are
used, water dispenser will malfunction
and may be damaged beyond repair.
Guarantee does not cover such
uses. Some chemical ingredients and
additives in such drinks / beverages
may also attack and damage water tank
material. Only use clean pure drinking
water.Capacity of water dispenser tank
is 2.2 litres [3.8 pints], do not overfill.
Push the water dispenser lever with
a rigid cup. If you are using a plastic
disposable cup, then push the lever
with your fingers from behind the cup.
Safety Locking knob is supplied for
your convenience when filling the water
tank and also to avoid small children
tampering with the water dispenser.
Storing pre-frozen food
Take special care not to mix with fresh
food.
The recommendation for
storage as stated on the food packaging
must always be followed.
Pre-packed frozen food should
be stored in accordance with the
food manufacturer’s instructions
for a frozen food storage
compartment.To ensure that the
high quality achieved by the food
manufacturer and retailer is maintained:
1 Wrap packets when you buy
them.
2 Put packets in the freezer as
quickly as possible after purchase.
3 Ensure that contents are labelled
and dated.
4 Do not exceed ‘use by’ and ‘best
before’ dates.

EN
15
Freezing fresh food
Take special care not to mix with
already frozen food.
Always choose high quality fresh food
and be sure it is thoroughly clean.
Prepare fresh food in small portions to
ensure rapid freezing. Do not freeze too
large a quantity at any one time. The
quality is best preserved when the food
is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
which in a 24 hour period is 6 kg (13
lbs).
When freezing the maximum amount,
turn the setting knob to MAX.
When freezing average amounts, the
setting knob can be kept at medium
position. i.e. 2 kg (5lbs)
When freezing small quantities, up to
1/2 kg (1 lb), the setting knob will not
need adjusting.
Preparation
Wrap food in aluminium foil or freezer
quality polythene bags.Wrap fish and
offal in polythene bags.
Wrap food which has a strong odour
or can dry out, in polythene bags,
aluminium foil, or place in airtight
containers.
Make sure all air is excluded from foil
wrapping or bags.
Freezer compartment storage info/
advice
Do not leave frozen food at room
temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge
to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid
defrosting food or food juices drip onto
other food.
The freezer compartment is
rated and suitable for freezing food and
the storage of pre-frozen food.
Don’t freeze filled bottles or sealed
cans containing fizzy (carbonated)
drinks as they may burst.
Check contents of the freezer every so
often.Don’t close the freezer door before
placing the fast freeze compartment
cover in its place.Don’t try to keep
frozen food which has thawed, it should
be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and
re-frozen.If there is a power failure do
not open the door. Frozen food should
not be affected if the failure lasts for less
than 18 hours. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked and
then re-frozen.Placing warm food into
the freezer compartment causes the
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.
"The wire shelf between the two full
depth plastic drawers can be removed
temporarily if you want to store a turkey.
After you remove the drawers, pull out
the wire shelf as shown in the diagram.
Reverse the sequence of operations
when you re-fit the wire shelf back in to
its position. Make sure you fit it properly
otherwise operation of drawers will be
affected."

DEFROSTING
A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water
runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(1). (see diagram) During defrosting
water droplets may form at the back
of the fridge compartment where
concealed evaporator is located. Some
droplets may remain on the liner and
refreeze when defrosting is completed.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to remove
the droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does
not drain from the collection channel,
check to ensure that no food particles
have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared by pushing the
special plastic plunger provided down
the drain tube (2). If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce
the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart
automatic defrosting.
B) FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
The freezer compartment operation is
frost free and does not need defrosting.
