4 Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/
freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for
perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can
circulate freely at the rear of the
cabinet.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
• When the door is open the fridge
interior light will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.
“Due to operation of the fan inside
the frost free freezer compartment,
overall noise level is slightly higher
in comparison to non-frost free
appliances. This is quite normal and is
not a fault.”
6. Set the thermostat knob half way
between 1 and 5.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
8. “Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait until
the correct storage temperature
has been reached. We recommend
that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer (see;
Temperature Control and Adjustment)”
EN

2. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
3. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
4. Making, storing ice cubes.
5. Frozen food.
6. Frozen food and freezing of fresh
food.
7. Butter, cheese.
8. Small bottles, cans, tubes.
9. Eggs.
10. Tall, large bottles, beverages.
The following guidelines and
recommendations are suggested to
obtain the best
results and storage hygiene.
1. The fridge compartment is for the
short term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is
rated and suitable for the freezing
and storage of pre frozen food. The
recommendation for storage
as stated on the food packaging
should be observed at all times.
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in
airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be
placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and
stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door
section.
6. To store raw meat, wrap in
polythene bags and place on the
lowest shelf. Do not allow to come
into contact with cooked food to avoid
contamination. For safety, only store
raw meat for two to three days.
7. Keep the food packed wrapped
or covered. Allow hot food and
beverages to cool before placing them
in the fridge. Do not store explosive
substances. High proof alcohol must
be stored upright in sealed containers.
Left over canned food should not be
stored in the can.
8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen
and products such as flavoured water
ices should not be consumed too cold.
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer
damage if kept at temperatures near
0°C. Therefore wrap pineapples,
EN
27
melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
similar produce in polythene bags.
10. Place chilled cooked food and
similar food near the rear of the fridge
inner liner where the cold wall is
located.
11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins,
drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all
removable.
12. Do not leave frozen food at room
temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge
to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid
defrosting food or food juices drip onto
other food.
13. For hygiene reasons, always
wrap food using a suitable packaging
material before storing in your
appliance to avoid contact with the
appliance surface.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepacked commercially frozen food
should be stored in accordance with
the
frozen food manufacturer’s instructions
for a frozen food storage
compartment.
To ensure that the high quality
achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained, the
following should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labelled
and dated.
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging.
If there is a power failure do not open
the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than
13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling
of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the
setting knob towards. Max small
quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb)
can be frozen without having to rotate
the temperature control knob.
You may place fresh food to be frozen
in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
EN
28
MAKING ICE CUBES
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the Ice Bank.
Loosen frozen trays with the handle
of a spoon, never use sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks. Store
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
DEFROSTING
A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water
runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(1).(see diagram) During defrosting
water droplets may form at the back of
the fridge compartment
where concealed evaporator is
located.Some droplets may remain on
the liner and refreeze when defrosting
is completed. Do not use pointed or
sharp edged objects such as knives,
forks to remove the droplets which
have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does
not drain from the collection channel,
check to ensure that no food particles
have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared by pushing the
special plastic plunger provided down
the drain tube (2). If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce
the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart
automatic defrosting.
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrosting is very easy and without mess
thanks to a special defrost collection well.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer
of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed. To
start defrosting procedure, switch off the
appliance at the socket outlet and pull
out the mains plug. All food should be
wrapped in several layers of newspaper
and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or
larder).
Remove all freezer drawers. Containers
full of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical
heaters and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects at
the bottom of the freezer well and dry
the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug
in to the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply.
