Using Your Appliance

About the thermostat

• The thermostat is located in the upper rear part of the appliance.

• To reduce the temperature inside the appliance, turn the thermostat towards 6 maximum.

• To increase the temperature inside the appliance turn the thermostat towards 1 minimum.

• Depending on the ambient temperature of the room the appliance is in, you may need to adjust the thermostat accordingly.

CONDITION/REASON:

REFRIGERATOR too cold

Not set correctly for your conditions

REFRIGERATOR too warm

Door opened often, large amount of food added or room temperature very warm

FREEZER too cold

Not set correctly for your conditions

FREEZER too warm/too little ice

Door opened often, or large amount of food added or very cold room temperature (can't cycle often enough) or heavy ice usage

In some cases food inside the refrigerator may become frozen, common causes of this are:

• Thermostat is set too high - you will need to adjust the setting to a more suitable temperature.

• The ambient temperature has dropped suddenly (i.e. during winter) and this makes the refrigerator even colder.

Making ice cubes

• Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with water and place into the freezer.

• Place the tray onto a level suraface.

• To remove ice cubes, twist the try or place under running water for a few seconds to loosen.

• Do not use sharp, pointed or metal implements to remove the ice cube tray if it becomes frozen to the fridge.

Using Your Appliance

Tips for using this appliance

• Before storing cooked foods in the refrigerator, allow them to cool to room temperature.

• To maintain adequate air circulation, do not over fill the appliance. If there is too much food inside, the compressor does not work as effectively.

• Do not open the door any more than necessary - this will keep the temperature as cold as possible inside.

• When storing frozen food in the freezer, make sure that you follow the food manufacturers guidelines.

• Ices and water ices should not be consumed straight from the freezer - this can cause ice burns to the tongue and hands.

• Never touch the inside of the appliance, or any frozen items with wet hands. This can cause injury to your hands if they stick to cold surfaces.

• Wrap or cover foods well before storing. Always make sure that any packaging is air tight and suitable for use inside a fridge or freezer.

• Cooked meats and raw meats should be stored on separate shelves, and raw meat should not be allowed to drip onto other foods. Food which is to be frozen should not be in direct contact with already frozen food.

• You may hear gurgling noises or a humming sound while the appliance is in use and this is perfectly normal when the compressor is running and the coolant is moving through the system.

• A clicking sound may be heard, this is the thermostat and is normal.

• This appliance is designed to operate in an ambient temperature between 16 and 38 ° C.

• Effervescent (fizzy) drinks should not be stored in the freezer or low temperature compartments.

• Do not exceed the storage times recommended by the food manufacturer andd always check expiry dates.

• Smaller portions of fresh food freeze quicker than large portions. Divide large portions into smaller ones.

This helps to preserve the nutrients and quality of the food.

• Always allow warm food to cool down before freezing it, preferably to room temperature.

• Before you store large amounts of food in the freezer, adjust the thermostat to the maximum (coldest) setting while the appliance freezes the food. After 24 hours, re-set the thermostat to the previous setting.

• Only thaw the amount of food you need, once food has been thawed cook it immediately.

Using Your Appliance

Defrosting your appliance

The refrigerator defrosting process is carried out automatically everytime the compressor stops. The defrost water drains from the cabinet into a tray at the rear of the unit where it evaporates.

To defrost the freezer:

• Unplug the appliance and set the thermostat to the

'off' position.

• Leave the appliance to defrost. You can accelerate defrosting by placing a bowl of warm (not hot) water inside the appliance on a piece of cardboard.

• Do not use sharp, pointed or metal implements to scrap ice from the inside of the appliance. Use a plastic scraper.

• Do not use mechanical devices (hair dryer etc.) to accelerate the defrosting process.

• Once defrosting is completed, make sure that the inside of the appliance is dry and clean, plug in the appliance and switch the thermostat to the required temperature.

If there is any food in the appliance at the time of defrosting, remove it from the appliance wrap it well and store in a cool, dry place. Alternatively you can store it in a different freezer if possible.

In the event of a power cut

If the power failure is 3 hours or less, food can remain inside the appliance. Keep the door closed to maintain the temperature inside.

If the power cut is longer than 3 hours, remove all food, wrap well and store in a cool dry place.

Important: Be aware that the storage life of the food will have been reduced. Use up this food as soon as possible or discard. Do not re-freeze food which has thawed, either consume or cook and re-freeze if appropriate.

The drainage chanel

The drainage chanel collects water on the back wall of the refrigerator and ensures that it is drained away into a drip tray at the rear of the appliance.
