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.

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 & 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.
Use o the re rigerator
The thermostat is valid for both freezer and
refri erator compartments.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refri erator is re ulated
by the 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.

Food Storage
• To obtain the best results from your appliance,
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.
• Keep the time between buyin chilled food and
placin it in your frid e as short as possible.
• Do not push food to ether too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
• Do not store uncovered food.
• Remove suspect food from your refri erator and
clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleanin ’.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 cabinet close to sources of
heat, i.e. boiler or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openin s of the
cabinet 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 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 often switch on unnecessarily.
• 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 it’s condition. The followin uide-
lines should assist you.
Ice Cream:
Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruit and Vegetables:
If soft should be cooked and used up.
Bread and 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 re-frozen providin there are ice crystals
remainin within them.
Small Joints:
Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked
dishes.
Chicken:
Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.

INSTALLATION
Warning
IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE
THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR,
YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE
UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN
BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.
Dependin upon the position which you choose for
your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in
which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions
on “Door reversal directions”.
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 . If these temperatures are
exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance
may not operate correctly.
For buildin -in and door reversibility, if necessary ,
refer to the relevant instructions in the followin
pa es.
14
Important
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plu must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.

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 & 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.
Use o the re rigerator
The thermostat is valid for both freezer and
refri erator compartments.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refri erator is re ulated
by the 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.
