OPERATION
Be ore using
Remove all securin tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refri erator is re ulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an
“OFF” (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 settin can vary as the temperature
inside the refri eration compartment depends on the
followin factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
Durin prolon ed periods of abnormally hot weather,
if the thermostat is set on too hi h a number, the
coolin system may operate continuously and the
frid e coolin plate may not defrost. Turnin the knob
to a lower number will cause the automatic
defrostin to resume.
Low Room Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is workin efficiently
when the room temperature drops below 16°C, the
switch mounted next to the thermostat control should
be switched on.
No dama e can be caused by leavin the switch in
this position for any period of time (see pa e 11 Low
ambient operation). However should the temperature
rise above 16°C remember to turn the switch off
a ain.
The reezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
stora e of commercially frozen food and for freezin
fresh foods.
Freezing resh ood
When freezin lar e amounts of fresh food turn the
thermostat control knob to maximum approximately
1 hour prior to freezin .
When the food is frozen return to the normal
position.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 9 k . of fresh
food.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
If lar e quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from the appliance and place
food on coolin shelves. Pay careful attention not to
exceed load limit stated on the side of the
upper section.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The
food in the freezer will not be affected if the power
cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food
be in to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen .

Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint ur lin or bubblin sounds
when the refri erant is pumped throu h the coils
or tubin at the rear, to the coolin
plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
• When the compressor is on, the refri erant is
bein pumped round, and you will hear a whirrin
sound or pulsatin noise from the compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you
will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in
and out.
Fresh ood re rigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporatin liquids in the refri erator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a stron
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation throu h them.
To help you use your refri erator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry or chicken):
wrap in polythene ba s and place on top of the salad
crispers.
Meat can only be stored sa ely in this way or
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & ve etables: these should be thorou hly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airti ht containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene ba s 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.
Thawing
Frozen food, prior to bein used, can be thawed in
the frid e or at room temperature dependin on the
time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen; in this case cookin will take lon er.
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
refri erator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thorou hly cooked throu h.
Ve etables should be directly immersed in boilin
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrappin .
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawin
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the
oven instructions, particularly re ardin the
placement of aluminium wrappin or containers in
the oven.
De rosted cooked ood must never be re rozen.
Frozen ood storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to
depress the low room temperature switch for at least
two hours before storin frozen food.
Do not exceed the stora e period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open lon er than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice 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 cut the food in the freezer will
not be affected if the power cut is short and if the
freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food
be in to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen .
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for
ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to ive the ice space to expand
and place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply ive the tray a sli ht
twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove
the trays from the freezer.

• Keep the time between buyin chilled food and
placin it in your frid e as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of oran e
juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
et down to 7°C in the refri erator.
• Keep the refri erator door closed as much as
possible.
• Do not push food to ether too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
• Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refri erator until cool. (Leave
food in a cool place in order that it can then be
put in the refri erator as soon as possible).
• Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be
in separate containers. Take care not to let the
meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does
drip, remove everythin and clean thorou hly.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• The best way to defrost food is to put it in the
refri erator to thaw slowly.
• Remove suspect food from your refri erator and
clean (refer to “Maintenance and Cleanin ).
• Never allow spilla es to dry and harden.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labelled and used in date order to ensure
that food is consumed at its best.
• It is important that food is used before its “best
before” date.
• Store e s in the e rack provided in the
refri erator door. Discard any broken or chipped
e s.
• Re ularly check the refri erator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
• Always wash your hands with soapy water and
dry them with a clean towel before handlin food.
• Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not usin the same work
surface or knife, without washin them thorou hly
in between.
• The fresh foods to be frozen must be fresh and of
the best quality.
• The size of each pack should be small enou h to
ensure that it is used in one o . Small packs
freeze more quickly and uniformly and ive better
results.
• Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.
Lean food keeps better and lon er than fatty food,
salt reduces the stora e time.
• Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezin
ba s or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airti ht seal.
• Packa in which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate
that the product has not been kept at a suitable
temperature and that it may have lost its ori inal
quality. Partially thawed food must not be
refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the stora e times indicated.
• Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy drink
in the freezer as they may explode. Containers
with a lid must not be filled to the brim.
• Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in
the freezer next to food which is already frozen as
this could cause the temperature of the frozen
food to rise and its quality and stora e life to
reduce.
• The symbols on the drawers show different types
of frozen oods.
The numbers indicate stora e times in months for
the appropriate types of frozen oods. Whether
the upper or lower value of the indicated stora e
time is valid depends on the quality of the foods
and pre-treatin before freezin .
HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Because o consumer demand, preservatives have been removed rom many pre-prepared oods. This
together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that sa e handling and
storage o ood is even more important than ever.
The ollowing tips should help you to ensure that the ood in your home is in as per ect condition as
possible.
