Control Panel
The appliance controls are located in the top panel insi-
de the refrigerator compartment.
Thermostat Control
The freezer and fridge thermostats control the tempe-
rature inside the freezer and refrigerator respectively.
1. The Freezer Temperature Control
The freezer temperature control, regulates the tempe-
rature within the freezer compartment. A change in the
control setting in the freezer compartment could affect
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment under
certain circumstances.
7 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature settings, allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stablise before making further
changes.
2. The Fridge Temperature Control
The fridge temperature control regulates the tempera-
ture within the fridge compartment, by regulating the
cold airflow. An intermediate setting is usually the most
suitable, although some experimentation may be
necessary to obtain the correct temperature.
5 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
Standby
Turn the control knob to the standby position if you
wish to switch off the fridge, but leave the freezer in
operation (for example, when on holiday). Leave the
doors shut when in Standby operation.

ON/OFF button continuously for 3 seconds. When
the appliance is switched on, the ON/OFF button
and the Freezer and Fridge control knobs will be

will sound and the alarm button will flash red. Press
the alarm button to switch off the alarm, the light
will stop flashing but will remain red. To switch off
the alarm and the light shut the doors.
5. Temperature Alarm
If the internal temperature inside the appliance is
too high for the safe storage of frozen food, an
alarm will sound and the temperature alarm button
light will start to flash. The temperature may rise for
the following reasons:
The doors have been left open
There has been a power failure
A large quantity of food has been added to the
appliance.
The thermostat controls may be incorrectly set.
There is a fault.

audible signal will stop. The light will stop flashing,
but will remain on until the internal temperature has
reached the correct storage temperature for frozen
food.
6. Fast Freeze Button
Press the fast freeze button approximately 3 hours
before freezing fresh food. Once the food is frozen,
switch off the fast freeze function by pressing the
fast freeze button. The fast freeze function will self
cancel after 36 hours.
