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.
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 & wild fowl): 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.
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.

Door reversal directions
1. Disconnect from the electricity supply.
2. Remove all loose items, includin food, store food
in a cool place.
3. Gently lay the frid e/freezer on its back with the
top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3
inches) of packin ;
4. Remove the feet (3)
5. Remove bottom hin e (1).
6. Slide out the door from pin (G), unscrew the latter
and then screw it down into the hin e provided on
the opposite side, after havin removed the small
plu s which should then be fitted on the opposite
side.
7. Refit the door and bottom hin e (1) on the
opposite side.
8. Refit the feet (3) on the opposite side.
9. Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the opposite side
after havin pierced the plu s with a punch. Cover
the holes left open with the plu s contained in the
documentation pack.
Attention
After completion of the door reversiin operation,
check that the door asket adheres to the cabinet. If
the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the
asket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that
case, wait for the natural fittin of the asket or
accelerate this process by heatin up the part
involved with a normal hairdryer.

Positioning the inner shelves
The walls of the refri erator have runners so that
shelves can be positioned as desired.

• 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 place as cool as possible in order that it
can then be placed 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.
• Remove suspect food from your refri erator and
clean (refer to “Maintenance and Cleanin ).
• Never allow spilla es to dry and harden.
• 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.
HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowin into the frid e,
periodically clean the water dischar e hole in the centre
of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the
refri erator compartment behind the fruit and ve etable
drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you will
find already inserted into the dischar e hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at re ular intervals. Dry throu hly before
replacin .

External cleaning
Many proprietary kitchen sur ace cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it
is recommended that the outer casing o this
appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a
little washing-up liquid added.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched
OFF.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black rill)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance,
with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see dia ram.
PR259

out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thorou hly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING
PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN
THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG ODOUR.
Clean the drain hole of the water trou h at re ular
intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never
obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location
where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate classification indicated on the ratin plate, which
is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The followin table shows which ambient temperature is
correct for each climate classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct
sunli ht and away from extreme temperature e. . not next
to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e. . 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 (4”) distance between the top of the cabinet
and any overhan in kitchen furniture (A). Ideally, the
appliance should not be positioned beneath overhan in
furniture (B).
There should also be a ap of 25 mm either side of the
appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath. The
back of the cabinet may be placed close to the wall but
must not touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted
ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwin out the
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet usin
