FOOD STORAGE
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
› To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in
sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
› Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
› Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will
develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
› We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass
shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage
conditions.
› Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
› Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green
leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach,
apricot, etc.).
› Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
› Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
› To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water
leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package
meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
› Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
› Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
NOTE:
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. The table below is a quick
guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator
compartment.
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
› Opening the door for long periods can cause significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
› Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food accessible drainage systems.
› Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact
with or drips onto other food.
› If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry and
leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
› The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
› To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in contact
with the cooling surface.
› Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
› Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
› Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
› Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
› Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food.
If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the
date of purchase.
› When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
› Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as
soon as possible.
› Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity band abnormal
swelling.
› It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents
have deteriorated.
› The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting,
how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the
packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
› The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on
the appliance label.
› To use the maximum capacity of the freezer compartment, use the glass shelves for the
upper and middle section, and use the lower basket for the bottom section.
NOTE:
If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not
open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
› Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
› The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (aniseed, watercress, vinegar, assorted
spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a
strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of
spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after the food has thawed.
› The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
› Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen
in plastic or bags or containers. The table below is a quick guide to show you the most
efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer compartment.

DEFROSTING
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
› Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The water
is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
› The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of flowing out.
› You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The frost accumulated in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically (using the
plastic scraper provided). The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same way as the
refrigerator compartment, with the defrost process being completed twice a year.
› The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5”, to freeze the
food completely.
› During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a
cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to
use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
› Set thermostat knob to position “.” or unplug the unit; leave the door open until
completely defrosted.
› To accelerate the defrosting process, one or more basins of warm water can be placed in
the freezer compartment.
› Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to position “5”.
REPLACING THE LED LIGHT
The LED light must be replaced by an authorised engineer or similar only. For more information
please contact Caple service - 0117 938 7420 or [email protected].UK
HOLIDAY
SHORT HOLIDAYS
Leave the freezer operating during holidays of less than three weeks.
LONG HOLIDAY
If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the
appliance. Set the thermostat to “•” position, defrost and clean your freezer. To prevent odour
and mould growth, leave the door open slightly (blocking it open if necessary).
TRANSPORT AND REPOSITIONING
› The original packaging and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optional).
› Fasten your appliance with thick packaging, bands or strong cords and follow the
instructions for transportation on the packaging.
› Remove all movable parts (shelves, accessories, vegetable bins, and so on) or fix them into
the appliance against shocks using bands/tape when re-positioning or transporting.
› Always carry your appliance in the upright position.

compartment at least twice a year.
For this;
- The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position to freeze the
foods completely.
- During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage
life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
- Set thermostat knob to position « . » or unplug the unit; leave the door open until

TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Reviewing the information below may save you from calling for service.
THE APPLIANCE DOES NOT OPERATE CHECK IF:
› There is power to the unit
› The mains is connected
› The thermostat setting is on the “•” position
› The socket is defective. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket.
THE APPLIANCE PERFORMS POORLY CHECK IF:
› The appliance is overloaded
› The doors are closed properly
› There is any dust on the condenser
› There is enough space near the rear and side walls.
THE APPLIANCE IS NOISY
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling
sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is normal. If you hear a
different sound, check whether:
› The appliance is level
› Anything is touching the rear of the appliance
› Objects in the appliance are vibrating.
THE DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY OPENED OR CLOSED CHECK IF:
› Food packages preventing the door from being closed.
› Door compartments, shelves and drawers have been properly placed.
› The door seals are defective or torn?
› The refrigerator is standing on an even ground.
THERE IS WATER IN THE LOWER PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR CHECK IF:
› The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
RECOMMENDATIONS
› If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the
appliance in or restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
› The cooling unit of your refrigerator is located at the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water
droplets or ice may form on the rear surface of your freezer due to the operation of the
compressor at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting
operation unless there is excessive ice.
› The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use only. It is not suitable
for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does
not comply with this, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be
responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.
If the problem persists or more help is required, please contact our Caple service team on
0117 938 7420 or via email [email protected].UK.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a
heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food
will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save energy.
Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered,
the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy.
Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller)
closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
