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 setting knob half way between min and max.

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)”

9. When the freezer reaches the desired temperature the freezer fan will stop.

When the freezer fan is on, the noise will be louder when the freezer door is opened.

10. Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate less efficiently.

5 Using your refrigerator

Temperature Control And

Adjustment

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

W

1=Lowest cooling setting

(Warmest setting).

C

Thermostat setting button

The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

• Seasonal temperatures,

• Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods,

• Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to the room temperature,

• The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).

• You may adjust the varying interior temperature due to such reasons by using the thermostat. Numbers around the thermostat button indicates the cooling degrees.

• If the ambient temperature is higher than 32°C, turn the thermostat button to maximum position.

• If the ambient temperature is lower than 25°C, turn the thermostat button to minimum position.

4=Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting).

The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C.

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.

Please note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area.

The coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment.

The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside.

Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.

For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.

EN

Suggested Arrangement Of Food

In The Fridge/Freezer

Arrangement Examples (See diagram)

1. Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy products, cans.

2. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.

3. Fruit, vegetables, salads.

4. Making, storing ice cubes.

5. Quick freeze compartment and storage of frozen food

6. Frozen food .

7. Butter, cheese.

8. Eggs.

9. Tall, large bottles, beverages.

10. Winerack

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 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, 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.

19

EN

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.

4. 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.

When freezing fresh food turn the setting towards Max. Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control .

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.

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.

Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.

Defrosting

Freezing Fresh Food

Please observe the following structions 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.

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.

20

EN

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.

Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.

Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance.

B) Freezer Compartment

The freezer compartment operation is frost free and does not need defrosting.

Warnings!

The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air. Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (eg dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.

21

EN

Icematic and ice storage container

*optional

Using the Icematic

Fill the Icematic with water and place it into its seat. Your ice will be ready approximately in two hours. Do not remove the Icematic from its seating to take ice.

Turn the knobs on the ice reservoirs clockwise by 90 degrees.

Ice cubes in the reservoirs will fall down into the ice storage container below.

You may take out the ice storage container and serve the ice cubes.

If you wish, you may keep the ice cubes in the ice storage container.

Ice storage container

Ice storage container is only intended for accumulating the ice cubes. Do not put water in it. Otherwise, it will break.

Sliding Body Shelves

Sliding body shelves can be pulled by slightly lifting up from the front and moved back and forth. They come to a stop point when pulled towards front to allow you reach the foods placed at the back of the shelf; when it is pulled after slightly lifting upwards at the second stop point, the body shelf will be released.

The shelf should be held tightly from the bottom as well in order to prevent it from tipping over. The body shelf is placed on the rails at the sides of the refrigerator body by bringing it to one lower or one upper level.

The body shelf should be pushed backwards to seat it completely.
