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).
Temperature control
The temperature within the appliance is controlled by
the thermostat control knob situated at the top of the
cabinet.
To operate the appliance proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control knob beyond the «■»
position.
When you first start the appliance, we su est that
you turn the thermostat control knob to a medium
settin , althou h the temperature will be affected by:
- Room temperature
- How often the door is opened
- How much food is stored
- Position of the appliance
In determinin the correct temperature control
settin all these factors have to be considered and
some experimentation may be necessary.
When alterin the temperature settin , allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before makin
further chan es
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control knob towards max; to obtain a hi her
temperature turn the control knob towards min. For
easier turnin of this control knob, use a small coin.
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
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat settin
when freezin fresh food.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 9 k .
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
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 .

With a room temperature below + 16°C the
refri erator compartment may not function correctly.
If the room temperature is lower than + 16°C it will
be necessary to press switch (B).
The relevant pilot li ht (A) comes on.
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.

5
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.
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 first startin -up or after a period of use, before
puttin the products in the compartment let the
appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest
settin , then turn the thermostat knob to the normal
opertion position.
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 lollies, 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 .
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.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains two cold accumulators which
can be found in one of the freezer drawers. Place the
cold accumulators in the FAST FREEZE
compartment. The cold accumulators increase
stora e times in the event of a power cut or
breakdown.
Removal of these units will increase the capacity of
the fast freezin compartment but will reduce
stora e times in the event of a power cut or
breakdown.

HINTS AND TIPS
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.
• 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.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your frid e-
freezer
• Do not store warm food or evaporatin liquids.
• Avoid buyin frozen food if you cannot store it
strai ht away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen
food in the freezer immediately.
• Keep the time between buyin chilled food and
placin it in your refri erator as short as possible.
• Do not push food to ether too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• 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.
• Remove suspect food from your refri erator and
clean, refer to Maintenance and Cleanin .
• 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 by the
manufacturer.
• 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 .
Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the appliance close to sources of
heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openin s of the
appliance are not obstructed.
• Avoid unnecessary frostin in the cabinet by
packin all foodstuffs into airti ht packa es
before placin them in the freezer.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placin in the frid e.
• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be
placed in the frid e before bein transferred to
the freezer.
• Thaw frozen food in the frid e. This will ensure
safer defrostin of foods and reduce the work of
the refri eration unit.
• Try to avoid keepin the door open for lon
periods or openin the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventin the
door from closin properly.
In the Event o a Power Failure
If there is a power failure durin the stora e of frozen
foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within
your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food
without checkin its condition. The followin
uidelines should assist you:
Ice-cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and
used up.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without dan er.
Shell ish: Should be refri erated and used up
quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i. e. casseroles should be
refri erated and used up.
Large Pieces o Meat: Can be refrozen providin
there are still ice crystals remainin within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be
refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a
fresh dish.
