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.
13. To take out the baskets from the freezer
compartment please proceed as in Item 9.
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob (Item 5) and may be set at any
position between 1 and 5 (the coldest position).
The average temperature inside the fridge should
be around +5°C (+41°F). Therefore adjust the
thermostat to obtain the desired temperature.
Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or
warmer (such as salad crisper and top part of the
cabinet) which is quite normal. We recommend
that you check the temperature periodically with a
thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept to
this temperature. Frequent door openings cause
internal temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to
close the door as soon as possible after use.
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 thermostat 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. 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. Do not exceed the freezing
capacity of your appliance in 24 h. Placing warm
food into the freezer compartment causes the
refrigeration machine to operate continously until
the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to
excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat
knob at medium position. Small quantities of food
up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting
the temperature control knob. Take special care not
to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place
it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a
collection container at the back of the appliance
(Item 6). During defrosting, water droplets may
form at the back of the fridge compartment where
a 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 or forks to
remove the droplets which have refrozen. If, at
any time, the defrost water does not drain from
the collection channel, check that no food
particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared with a pipe-cleaner or similar
implement. Check that the tube is permanently
placed with its end in the collecting tray on the
compressor to prevent the water spilling on the
electric installation or on the floor (Item 7).
