OPERATION
Be ore using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and icar onate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
y a 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 setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
During prolonged periods of a normally hot weather,
if the thermostat is set on too high a num er, the
cooling system may operate continuously and the
fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the kno
to a lower num er will cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or u ling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tu ing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
eing pumped round, and you will hear a whirring
sound or pulsating 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 o tain the est performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, card oard or plastic, which
may o struct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat ( eef, pork, lam & poultry or chicken):
wrap in polythene ags and place on the glass shelf
a ove the salad crispers.
Meat can only be stored sa ely in this way or
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegeta les: these should e thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the ottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should e placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene ags to exclude as much air as possi le.
Milk ottles: these should have a cap and should e
stored in the ottle rack on the door.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
This appliance should only e installed at a location
where the am ient temperature corresponds to the
climate classification indicated on the rating plate,
which is located at the left on the inside of the
appliance.
The following ta le shows which am ient
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 e located in a dry atmosphere, out of
direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature
e.g. not next to a oiler or radiator, or in a very cold
room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may
fall elow 10°C (50°F). If these temperatures are
exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance
may not operate correctly.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the ack and the top of the ca inet. There
must also e at least 100 mm (4”) distance etween
the top of the ca inet and any overhanging kitchen
furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not e
positioned eneath overhanging furniture (B).
There should also e a gap of 25 mm either side of
the appliance. Do not o struct the space
underneath. The ack of the ca inet may e placed
close to the wall ut must not touch it. DO NOT
install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance y screwing out the
adjusta le foot, or feet, at the ottom of the ca inet

OPERATION
Be ore using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and icar onate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
y a 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 setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
During prolonged periods of a normally hot weather,
if the thermostat is set on too high a num er, the
cooling system may operate continuously and the
fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the kno
to a lower num er will cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or u ling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tu ing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
eing pumped round, and you will hear a whirring
sound or pulsating 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 o tain the est performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, card oard or plastic, which
may o struct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat ( eef, pork, lam & poultry or chicken):
wrap in polythene ags and place on the glass shelf
a ove the salad crispers.
Meat can only be stored sa ely in this way or
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegeta les: these should e thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the ottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should e placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene ags to exclude as much air as possi le.
Milk ottles: these should have a cap and should e
stored in the ottle rack on the door.
