Hints & T
Hints & Tips ips
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling soun s
when the refrigerant is pumpe through the coils or
tubing.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumpe roun an you will hear a whirring soun or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor an you will
hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in an
out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your appliance:
Do not store warm foo or evaporating liqui .
Avoi buying frozen foo if you cannot store it
straight away. The use of an insulate container is
a visable. When you arrive home, place the frozen
foo in the freezer compartment imme iately.
Do not push foo together too much.
Do not store foo uncovere .
Ensure that foo place in the freezer compartment
is ate an labelle an use in ate or er to
ensure that foo is consume at its best.
Lean foo keeps better an longer than fatty foo ,
salt re uces the storage time.
Wrap the foo in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they a here to the foo an
provi e an airtight seal.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water roplets on the pack coul in icate
that the pro uct has not been kept at a suitable
temperature an that it may have lost its original
quality. Partially thawe foo must not be refrozen,
it must be consume within 24 hours. Never
excee the storage times in icate by the
manufacturer.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of
heat, such as a boiler or ra iator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilate
room an make sure that the air openings of the
appliance are not obstructe .
Avoi unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foo stuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer compartment.
Foo which is to be frozen (when cool) shoul
be place in the fri ge compartment before
being transferre to the freezer compartment.
Try to avoi keeping the oor open for long
perio s or opening the oor too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet an cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
oor from closing properly.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure uring the storage of
frozen foo s, keep the oor close . If the
temperature within your freezer compartment
shoul rise, o not refreeze the foo without
checking its con ition. The following gui elines
shoul assist you:
Ice ream: Once thawe shoul be iscar e .
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft shoul be cooke an
use up.
Breads & akes: Can be refrozen without anger.
Shellfish: Shoul be refrigerate an use up
quickly.
ooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles shoul be
refrigerate an use up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen provi ing
there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Shoul be cooke an can then be
refrozen as cooke ishes.
hicken: Shoul also be cooke an refrozen as a
fresh ish.

Maint
Maintenance & leaning enance & leaning
Before any maintenance of cleaning work is
carried out DISC NNECT the appliance from
the ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Internal leaning
Clean the insi e an accessories with warm water an
bicarbonate of so a (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse
an ry thoroughly.
Do not use etergents, abrasive pow ers,
highly perfume cleaning pro ucts, wax
polishes or cleaning pro ucts containing
bleach or alcohol.
Regularly check the oor seals an wipe clean
to ensure they are clean an free from ebris.
External leaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year ust the con enser (black grille)
an the compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of ust
will affect the performance of the appliance an cause
excessive electricity consumption.
Defrosting
The refrigerator automatically efrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is ischarge , via the
pipe, into a tray locate below the appliance, where it
evaporates.
Important
To avoi efrost water overflowing into the fri ge,
perio ically clean the water ischarge hole in the
centre of the V shape rip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behin the sala
rawer(s). Use the special cleaner provi e which
you will fin alrea y inserte into the ischarge hole.
While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes
progressively covere with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator an thus prevents the
col from reaching the foo shoul be remove whenever
the thickness of the frost excee s 6 mm (1/4).
To carry out complete efrosting procee as follows:
1. Remove any foo from insi e the ****-star
compartment, wrap it in several sheets of
newspaper an store in a cool ry place.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to position << 0 >>. To
accelerate efrosting, place a bowl of hot water
insi e the compartment (with a piece of car boar
un erneath the bowl as protection).
3. Remove any loose pieces of ice as soon as possible.
4. When efrosting is complete , clean an ry
thoroughly.
