Temperature Control
The refrigerator is designed to maintain an internal storage temperature in the
refrigerator compartment between to + .
Instructions for use
Remove all packing materials and wash the interior of the appliance using lukewarm
water containing a little bicarbonate of soda in the proportion of 1 teaspoon to 1.2 liters
(2 pints) of water. Do not use detergents or soaps as they may taint the food. After
cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly.
Never place hot or warm foods into the cabinet or leave the doors open for longer than
necessary as this will raise the temperature and cause excessive amounts of moisture thus
increasing the amount of ice in the refrigerator / freezer compartment.
The Internal Light
The internal light will automatically switch ON and OFF whenever the refrigerator door
is opened or closed. To change the light bulb, please see the chapter on changing the light
bulb.
To obtain a lower internal temperature turn the thermostat temperature control to a
higher number. To obtain a higher internal temperature turn the thermostat control
to a lower number. However, the internal temperature and temperature control
setting is dependent on a number of factors:
1. Varying ambient temperatures.
2. The number of times the appliance doors are opened and how long the doors remain
open.
3. The amount and temperature of the food and drink introduced into the appliance.
4. The weather conditions and time of year e.g. summer / winter.
5. The positioning of the appliance and an adequate air circulation to the sides and
back of the cabinet.
To enable adjustment of the temperature in the appliance it is fitted with an adjustable
thermostat located in the fridge compartment, which can be adjusted from setting 1
(warmest) to 7 (coldest). For normal working temperature it is recommended to adjust
the thermostat control to the midway position, after a few hours readjust the thermostat
to the desired temperature. There is also an off position 0 . Which turns OFF the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. Please Note this dose not disconnect the
appliance from the mains supply. To do this you must remove the mains plug from the
socket.

Making ice cubes ( Ice tray not supplied )
Pour water into the ice cube tray until it is two thirds full and place into the freezer. Ice
cubes will form in approximately 2 to 3 hours. The ice cube can be easily removed by
twisting the ice cube tray or running under cold water for a short time.
Freezing fresh food (Freezer)
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions,
as freezing alone does not sterilize the food. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into
the freezer. Prior to storing the food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum foil or freezer
containers and place into the freezer without putting them in contact with food that has
already been frozen. See the technical data sheet at the rear of this booklet for the
maximum permissible amount in kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen in any 24
hour period with a room temperature of 25C.Never freeze more than the maximum
permissible.
Store frozen food
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the thermostat
temperature control to setting 7 for at least two hours before introducing the food to be
stored, Then adjust to your preferred setting.
All frozen food products you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as
possible to avoid the frozen food from defrosting.
Storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the
manufactures should always be followed.
Storage of fresh food in the refrigerator
Food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in bags or stored in
airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and prevent the strong smell
of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To store raw meat wrap in polythene bags or airtight containers and place on the
lowest shelf.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw
meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and
placed in the vegetable/ salad bin.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf on the
door.

Refrigerator defrost process
The refrigerator defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the
compressor stops.
The defrost water drains from the cabinet into a tray placed on the top of the
compressor to the rear of the unit where it evaporates.
Aways ensure the drain hole does not become blocked with food, the drain hole is located inside the
refrigerator tot the rear of the unit just above the crisper cover.
Freezer defrost process
Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer depending upon the
length of time during which the door is left open or the amount of moisture
introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places
where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air to
penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor. Thin
frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do
not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor .For the
removal of thin frost it is not necessary to switch off the appliance.
For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply and empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or
layers of paper to keep them cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out
when the freezer is empty, and place a pan of hot water on one of the shelves and
close the door for faster defrosting.Do not forget to put a container under the front
of the freezer cavity to catch the water as the ice melts.
An increase in temperature of frozen food packages during defrosting will shorten
the storage life. Provided that the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area
they should keep for several hours.
Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the
packages have thawed out it should be eaten within 24hours or be cooked and refrozen.
After defrosting has finished clean the inside with a solution of warm water with a
little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the
same way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave
for 2 to 3 hours on setting number 7 before introducing the food back into the
freezer and setting the thermostat to your normal setting(usually setting 4).

Power Failure
If there is a power failure for a short time less than 7hrs keep the door closed
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 7hrs.
Extra protection can be given by covering the appliancewith two or three thick blankets.
If a long power failure is anticipated, try to get the foodstuff into another appliance or
cold store, if possible.
Prolonged off periods
If the power cut is longer than 7hrs then check the content of the freezer.
If the food has defrosted, cook and refreeze thefood or it should be eaten immediately.
Never refreeze food that has been defrosted.
Cleaning The Condenser
The condenser is the wire pipe work fitted to the rear of the appliance, this condenser must
be cleaned periodically by using a stiff brush or vacuum clearner.
This will ensure correct operation and will save energy, always unplug the appliance before
any cleaning operation.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
Pull the lamp cover forwards, to gain accesses to the lamp . Unscrew the light
bulb in an anti-clockwise direction from the holder.
Replace the bulb with one of the correct type and size (10 watt E14 base).
Replace the cover by Pushing the cover Backwards.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.
Changing the light bulb
Note. Light bulbs are not covered by the warranty
If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time then it is recommended to
remove all the food stuff, clean the inside of the appliance and leave the door open to
allow the air to circulate thus avoiding unpleasant odors.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before any cleaning or maintenance is carried out youmust disconnect the appliance
from the mains supply by removing the plug, never remove the plug by pulling on the
mains cord. Remove the plug by pulling on the plug itself.

Utilisation de l’appareil
Retirez l’emballage et nettoyez l’intérieur de l’appareil avec de l’eau tiède ajoutée
à un peu de bicarbonate de soude (1 cuillère à café pour 1,2 litre d’eau). N’utilisez
ni détergent ni savon car ils risquent de gâter la nourriture. Après le nettoyage,
essuyez toutes les pièces correctement.
Commande de température
Le réfrigérateur est conçu pour maintenir une température de stockage
interne dans le compartiment réfrigération comprise entre 0°C et + 10°C.
Pour régler la température interne, cet appareil est doté d’un thermostat dans le
compartiment du réfrigérateur ; le thermostat peut-être réglé de 1 (température la
plus chaude) à 7 (température la plus froide). Pour une température normale de
fonctionnement, nous vous recommandons de régler la commande du thermostat
sur la position du milieu ; après quelques heures, réglez de nouveau le
thermostat sur la température souhaitée. Il existe également une position arrêt
« 0 » qui permet de mettre le compartiment du réfrigérateur congélateur sur
ARRÊT/MARCHE. Notez que celui-ci ne débranche pas l’appareil de
l’alimentation principale. Pour ce faire, vous devez retirer la fiche principale de la
prise murale.
Pour obtenir une température interne inférieure, tournez la commande de
température du thermostat dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre vers un
chiffre plus grand. Pour obtenir une température interne supérieure, tournez
la commande de température du thermostat dans le sens inverse des
aiguilles d’une montre vers un chiffre plus petit. Cependant, la température
interne et le réglage de la commande de température dépend d’un certain
nombre de facteurs :
1. Les variations de température ambiante.
2. Le nombre de fois que les portes de l’appareil sont ouvertes et le temps
d’ouverture de ces portes.
3. La quantité et la température de la nourriture et des boissons introduites dans
l’appareil.
4. Les conditions climatiques et la période de l’année (été/hiver).
5. L’emplacement de l’appareil et une bonne circulation de l’air sur les côtés
et l’arrière de l’appareil.
Ne placez jamais de la nourriture chaude ou tiède dans l’appareil et ne laissez pas
les portes trop longtemps ouvertes car cela entraîne une hausse de la
température et des excès d’humidité augmentant ainsi la quantité de glace dans
le compartiment du réfrigérateur / congélateur.
Éclairage intérieur
L’éclairage intérieur s’ALLUME et s’ÉTEINT automatiquement à l’ouverture et à la
fermeture de la porte du réfrigérateur. Pour remplacer l’ampoule, consultez le
paragraphe correspondant.
