YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE
UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN
BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.
Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There must also be at least 100 mm (4”) distance between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).
There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet using your fingers or a tool (see the figure).

Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control (E) situated at the top of the cabinet.
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control knob beyond the « ■ » position.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting. For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.The
internal temperature of the freezer is automatically adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food storage.
5
However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as
- poor ventilation,
high temperature,
frequent door openings, it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.
In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control towards max; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards min. For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 14 kg of fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, press the fast freeze switch 12 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(C) illuminates).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze switch should be pressed about 2-3 hours before freezing fresh food.
This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the upper compartment of the freezer as these are the coldest parts.
In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets, the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly less.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) press again the fast freeze switch; the yellow light (C) goes out.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation.
The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 12 hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on the cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable).
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.

Thawing
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & Poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf on the top of the salad drawer.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the salad drawer.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
7
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
D338
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as shown in the diagram.
PR249
Use of the adjustable temperature compartment
Temperature adjustment
The temperature can be adjusted either with the thermostat (see refrigerator temperature adjustment) or by means of the flaps (air inlets) located in the refrigerator compartment.
When the flaps (A) are closed, the temperature in the adjustable temperature compartment is usually
+3 to +5°C warmer than the refrigerator compartment. When the flaps are open the temperature in both compartments is the same.
Use
The adjustable temperature compartment is suitable for vegetables, fruit and beverages.
Thanks to the separators food can be divided by type.

12
HINTS AND TIPS
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your fridgefreezer
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen food in the freezer immediately.
• Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your refrigerator as short as possible.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.
• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean, refer to Maintenance and Cleaning.
• Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time.
• Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal .
• Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated by the manufacturer.
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.
Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge.
• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.
• Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze 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 refrozen without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Maintenance and Cleaning).
If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your local Service Force Centre.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is required for any in-guarantee service calls.
12
HINTS AND TIPS
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your fridgefreezer
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen food in the freezer immediately.
• Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your refrigerator as short as possible.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.
• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean, refer to Maintenance and Cleaning.
• Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time.
• Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal .
• Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated by the manufacturer.
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.
Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge.
• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.
• Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze 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 refrozen 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 refrozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a fresh dish.

Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
D338
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as shown in the diagram.
PR249
Use of the adjustable temperature compartment
Temperature adjustment
The temperature can be adjusted either with the thermostat (see refrigerator temperature adjustment) or by means of the flaps (air inlets) located in the refrigerator compartment.
When the flaps (A) are closed, the temperature in the adjustable temperature compartment is usually
+3 to +5°C warmer than the refrigerator compartment. When the flaps are open the temperature in both compartments is the same.
Use
The adjustable temperature compartment is suitable for vegetables, fruit and beverages.
Thanks to the separators food can be divided by type.
Remove the container as illustrated in the figure to clean the adjustable temperature compartment.

Thawing
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & Poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf on the top of the salad drawer.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the salad drawer.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
7
However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as
- poor ventilation,
high temperature,
frequent door openings, it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.
In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control towards max; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards min. For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 14 kg of fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, press the fast freeze switch 12 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(C) illuminates).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze switch should be pressed about 2-3 hours before freezing fresh food.
This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the upper compartment of the freezer as these are the coldest parts.
In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets, the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly less.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) press again the fast freeze switch; the yellow light (C) goes out.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation.
The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 12 hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on the cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable).
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.
