1. The fridge compartment is for the short-term
storage of fresh food and drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is
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. Dairy products should be stored in the
special compartment provided in the door liner.
4. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight
containers.
5. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the
shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be
cleaned and stored in the crispers.
6. Bottles can be kept in the door section.
7. 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.
8. For maximum efficiency, the removable
shelves should not be covered with paper or other
materials to allow free circulation of cool air.
9. Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves.
Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered.
Allow hot food and beverages to cool before
refrigerating. Leftover canned food should not be
stored in the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and
products such as flavoured water ices should not
be consumed too cold.
11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if
kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap
pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
similar produce in polythene bags.
12. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright in
tightly closed containers. Never store products
that contain an inflammable propellant gas (e.g.
cream dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive
substances. These are an explosion hazard.

Temperature control and adjustment

Operating temperatures are controlled by the
setting knob (Item 5) located on the ceiling of
fridge compartment. Settings may be made from
MIN, 1 ... 4, MAX, MAX being the coldest
position. When the appliance is switched on for
the first time, the setting knob should be adjusted
so that after 24 hours, the average fridge
temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We
recommend you set the knob half way between
the MIN and MAX setting and monitor to obtain
the desired temperature i.e. towards Max you will
obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice
versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler
or warmer (such as the salad crisper and the top
part of the cabinet) which is quite normal.
The normal storage temperature of the freezer
should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may
rated be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards Max
position. We recommend that you check the
temperature with an accurate thermometer to
ensure that the storage compartments are kept to
the desired temperature. Remember you must
take your reading very quickly since the
thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the freezer. Please remember
each time the door is opened cold air escapes and
the internal temperature rises. Therefore never
leave the door open and ensure it is closed
immediately after food is put in or removed. In case
of a temporary ice build up in the fridge
compartment, reduce the setting to Min, monitoring
at the same time, that the fridge temperature is
maximum +5 degrees C [41 degrees F]. Once the
ice build up disappears and the appliance starts
auto defrosting again as normal, then you may
increase the setting, if required.

Before operating

Final Check

Before you start using the appliance check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at
the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under
"Cleaning and care."
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall
socket and the electricity is switched on. When
the door is open the interior light will come on.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts
up. The liquid and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also make some
(noise), whether the compressor is running or
not. This is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is
quite normal due to the manufacturing process
used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the knob midway and
monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance
maintains desired storage temperatures (See
section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend
checking the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see: Temperature Control and
Adjustment).

Storing frozen food

Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage
of commercially frozen foods and also can be
used to freeze and store fresh food.
