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 and the
freezer is re ulated by a sin le 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 10 Low
room temperature 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
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat settin
when freezin fresh food. Depress the ambient
switch at least 12 hours before loadin food to be
frozen.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 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 (where
applicable).
Caution
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.
DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE
REFROZEN.

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.
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.
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.
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 freezer 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.
Important
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”.

• 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 or
freezer.
• 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
