OPERATION
Be ore using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance ith luke arm ater and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of ater).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat ith 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 setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
follo ing factors:
– room temperature
– ho often the door is opened
– ho much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot eather,
if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the
cooling system may operate continuously and the
fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob
to a lo er number ill cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.
Low Room Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is orking efficiently
hen the room temperature drops belo 16°C, the
s itch mounted next to the thermostat control should
be s itched on.
No damage can be caused by leaving the s itch in
this position for any period of time (see page 10 Lo
room temperature operation). Ho ever should the
temperature rise above 16°C remember to turn the
s itch off again.
The reezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing resh ood
When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the
thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to
freezing.
When the food is frozen return to the normal
position.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 kg.
Place food to be frozen in the upper dra er of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
Important
In the event of a po er cut the food in the freezer ill
not be affected if the po er cut is short and if the
freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food
begin to tha , it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen .

Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
hen the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round, and you ill hear a hirring
sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you
ill hear a faint ’click’ hen the thermostat cuts in
and out.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided ith t o plastic ice cube
trays.
Fill the trays 3/4 full to allo the ice to expand and
place them in one of the freezer dra ers.
To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight
t ist to release the cubes.
Fresh ood re rigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store arm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or rap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves ith any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, hich
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Ra meat (beef, pork, lamb & ild fo l): rap in
polythene bags 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 & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or rapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags 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
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be tha ed in the fridge or at room temperature
depending on the time available. Small food items
may even be cooked from frozen; in this case
cooking ill take longer.
Any frozen food hich is allo ed to tha accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thro n
a ay. 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 tha ed in the
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked hile still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
ater; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium rapping.
A micro ave oven is particularly suitable for tha ing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follo the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the
placement of aluminium rapping or containers in
the oven.
De rosted cooked ood must never be re rozen.
Frozen ood storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, e advise you to
depress the ambient s itch for at least t o hours
before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can cause lo temperature skin
burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/ et, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.

• Keep the time bet een buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
sho ed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22°C in an hour bet een the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
get do n to 7°C in the refrigerator.
• Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allo
air to circulate around each item.
• Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a cool place in order that it can then be
placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
• Do NOT mix ra 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 everything and clean thoroughly.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• The best ay to defrost food is to put it in the
refrigerator to tha slo ly.
• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean (refer to “Maintenance and Cleaning).
• Never allo spillages to dry and harden.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labelled and used in date order to ensure

Low room temperature operation
During prolonged periods of lo room temperatures,ie;10°C and lo er, the compressor on single compressor
fridge freezer can remain inoperative during this time .
This is due to the air temperature ithin the refrigerator compartment being maintained at 6°C or under thus not
calling the thermostat to energise the compressor .
11
During a normal night time period of approximately 8 hours a traditional fridge freezer can normally maintain the
frozen food temperature but if the appliance is left for a longer period in a lo ambient temperature the freezer
ill defrost .
If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your local Service Force Centre.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer ill make a

• Keep the time bet een buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
sho ed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22°C in an hour bet een the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
get do n to 7°C in the refrigerator.
• Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allo
air to circulate around each item.
• Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a cool place in order that it can then be
placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
• Do NOT mix ra 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 everything and clean thoroughly.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• The best ay to defrost food is to put it in the
refrigerator to tha slo ly.
• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean (refer to “Maintenance and Cleaning).
• Never allo spillages to dry and harden.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labelled and used in date order to ensure

Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,
salt reduces the storage time.
• Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airtight seal.
• Packaging hich is s ollen or has traces of
refrozen ater droplets on the pack could indicate
that the product has not been kept at a suitable
temperature and that it may have lost its original
quality. Partially tha ed food must not be
refrozen, it must be consumed ithin 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated.
• Never place bottles or cans of fizzy drink in the
freezer as they may explode. Containers ith a lid
must not be filled to the brim.
• Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in

this could cause the temperature of the frozen
food to rise and its quality and storage life to
reduce.
• The symbols on the dra ers sho different types
of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for
the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether
the upper or lo er value of the indicated storage
time is valid depends on the quality of the foods
and pre-treating before freezing.

Fresh ood re rigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store arm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or rap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves ith any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, hich
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Ra meat (beef, pork, lamb & ild fo l): rap in
polythene bags 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 & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or rapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags 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
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be tha ed in the fridge or at room temperature
depending on the time available. Small food items
may even be cooked from frozen; in this case
cooking ill take longer.
Any frozen food hich is allo ed to tha accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thro n
a ay. 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 tha ed in the
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked hile still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
ater; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium rapping.
A micro ave oven is particularly suitable for tha ing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follo the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the
placement of aluminium rapping or containers in
the oven.
De rosted cooked ood must never be re rozen.
Frozen ood storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, e advise you to
depress the ambient s itch for at least t o hours
before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can cause lo temperature skin
burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/ et, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.

OPERATION
Be ore using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance ith luke arm ater and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of ater).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat ith 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 setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
follo ing factors:
– room temperature
– ho often the door is opened
– ho much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot eather,
if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the
cooling system may operate continuously and the
fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob
to a lo er number ill cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.
Low Room Temperature Switch
To ensure that the appliance is orking efficiently
hen the room temperature drops belo 16°C, the
s itch mounted next to the thermostat control should
be s itched on.
No damage can be caused by leaving the s itch in
this position for any period of time (see page 10 Lo
room temperature operation). Ho ever should the
temperature rise above 16°C remember to turn the
s itch off again.
The reezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing resh ood
When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the
thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to
freezing.
When the food is frozen return to the normal
position.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 kg.
Place food to be frozen in the upper dra er of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
Important
In the event of a po er cut the food in the freezer ill
not be affected if the po er cut is short and if the
freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food
begin to tha , it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen .
