Making ice cubes
The appliance is provi e with one or more trays for
ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expan
an place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight
twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove
the trays from the freezer.
Fresh ood re rigeration
To obtain the best performance, o not store warm
foo or evaporating liqui s in the refrigerator; o
cover or wrap the foo , particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, car boar or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & Poultry): wrap in
polythene bags an place on the glass shelf on the
top of the sala crispers.
Meat can only be stored sa ely in this way or
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these shoul be thoroughly
cleane an place in the sala crispers.
Butter & cheese: these shoul be place in special
airtight containers or wrappe in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclu e as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these shoul have a cap an shoul be
store in the bottle rack on the oor.
Thawing
Frozen foo , prior to being use , can be thawe in
the fri ge or at room temperature epen ing on the
time available. Small foo items may even be cooke
from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen foo which is allowe to thaw acci entally
shoul either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the foo is uncooke an has
not been completely efroste it can be cooke an
then refrozen.
Meat, fish an fruit shoul be thawe in the
refrigerator compartment an small pieces of meat
can even be cooke while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooke through.
Vegetables shoul be irectly immerse in boiling
water; rea y-cooke ishes can be place irectly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing
any type of frozen or eep-frozen foo : follow the
oven instructions, particularly regar ing the
placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in
the oven.
De rosted cooked ood must never be re rozen.
Frozen ood storage
When first starting-up or after a perio of non use,
before putting the foo in the compartment let the
appliance run for at least two hours on the col est
setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal
operating position.
Do not excee the storage perio in icate by the
foo manufacturer.
Finally, o not open the oor frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonate liqui s, (fizzy rinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consume imme iately after removal
from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin
burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your han s
are amp/wet, as this coul cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power cut o not open the oor. The
foo in the freezer will not be affecte if the power
cut is short an if the freezer is full. Shoul the foo
begin to thaw, it must be consume quickly an must
not be re-frozen. (See “Hits an Tips”)
Place foo to be frozen in the upper rawer of the
freezer as this is the col est part.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains two col accumulators. Place
the col accumulators in the FAST FREEZE
compartment. The col accumulators increase
storage times in the event of a power cut or
break own.
Removal of these units wll increase the capacity of
the fast freezing compartment but will re uce
storage times in the event of a power cut or
break own.

Door reversal directions
1. Disconnect from the electricity supply.
2. Gently lay the fri ge/freezer on its back with the
top hel away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3
inches) of packing;
3. Remove the ventilation grill (D).
4. remove the bottom hinge (E) by unscrewing its
fixing screws;
5. Remove the freezer oor by releasing it from the
mi le hinge (H).
6. Unscrew the mi le hinge.
7. Remove the fri ge oor by releasing it from the
top hinge pin (G).
8. Remove the pin then mount these on the si e,
after having remove the small plugs which
shoul then be fitte on the opposite si e.
9. reassemble the oor;
10. using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the hinge pin
(E) an reassemble it on the opposite si e of the
hinge;
11.Refit the fri ge oor an replace the mi le hinge
to the left han si e.
12.reassemble the lower hinge (E) on the opposite
si e, using the screws previously remove . Sli e
the hole cover (F) out of the ventilation grille (D)
by pushing it in the irection of the arrow an
reassemble it on the opposite si e;
13.refit the ventilation grille (D), clipping it into place;
14. Unscrew the han les. Refit them on the opposite
si e after having pierce the plugs with a punch.
Cover the holes left open with the plugs supplie
in the ocumentation pack.
The oors can be aligne by a justing the mi le
hinge.
The mi le hinge can be a juste horizontally, after
having slackene the two screws with a screw river.
Important
After completion of the oor reversing operation,
check that the oor gasket a heres to the cabinet. If
the ambient temperature is col (i.e. in Winter), the
gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that
case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part
involve with a normal hair ryer on a low setting.
