OPERATION

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the

appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate 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

by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an

ÒOFFÓ (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:

Ð room temperature

Ð how often the door is opened

Ð how much food is stored

Ð position of the appliance

Important

If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible

that because a very low temperature has been

selected, the motor is working continuously, which

prevents the defrost cycle from operating.

To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should

be selected on the thermostat and you should notice

that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is

correct.

If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the

thermostat to a higher number, however you should

turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic

defrosting.

Low Ambient Temperature Switch

To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently

when the room temperature drops below 16¡C, the

switch mounted next to the thermostat control should

be switched on.

No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in

this position for any period of time. However should

the temperature rise above 16¡C remember to turn

the switch off again.

The freezer compartment

The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for

storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing

fresh foods.

Freezing fresh food

When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the

thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to

freezing.

When the food is frozen return to the normal

position.

In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 9 kg.

Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the

freezer as this is the coldest part.

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all

drawers and baskets from the appliance and place

food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to

exceed load limit

stated on the side of the

upper section.

Important

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will

not be affected if the power cut is short and if the

freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food

begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must

not be re-frozen .

Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy

water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before

replacing.

Freezer

The freezer compartment will become progressively

covered with frost.

When the frost has reached a thickness of up to

4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper

provided with the appliance. During this operation it

is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from

the mains and remove the food. Never use metal

tools for this operation.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the

inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried

out.

For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)

proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat dial to the ÇOFFÈ position

(O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains.

Remove any food from inside the freezer and

fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and

store in a cool,dry place.

Leave the door open and insert the ice scraper

under the channel in the centre of the lower part

of the appliance; place a low-sided container

beneath the scraper to collect the water (see fig.).

Clean and dry thoroughly.

Replace the scraper in one of the drawers .

Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset

the thermostat to a functioning position.

After letting the appliance run for at least half an

hour, replace the previously removed food into

the compartment.

Important

When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also

controlled by the thermostat and will not be

operational during this period. A temperature rise of

the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may

shorten their safe storage life.

Attention!

In the event of a power failure causing the

temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-

freeze the food without checking its condition.

The following guidelines should assist you.

Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and

used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.

Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up

quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be

refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing

there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

D068/2

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-

frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a

cooked dish.
