Setting the temperature
The temperature within the appliance is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the appliance.
To operate the appliance proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the «■» position.
Position MIN = minimum coldness
Position MAX = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable.
The thermostat control re ulates the temperature
both within the frid e and the freezer compartment.
The thermostat settin can vary as the temperature
inside the appliance depends on the followin
factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Control panel
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Use o an air circulation slider
control - COOL FLOW CONTROL
Your appliance has an air circulation slider control
situated at the rear of the frid e compartment, which
controls the amount of cold air circulated throu h the
frid e compartment.

• 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.

• 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.
