HOW TO INSTALL YOUR APPLIANCE
I. This appliance is designed to operate in
ambient temperatures between 10°C (50°F)
and 32°C (89.6°F). It should be located in a
dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and
away from extreme temperature e.g. not next
to a cooker or other sources of direct heat, or
in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where
the temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F).
If these ambient temperatues are exceeded the
food storage temperatures given on page 10
will not be maintained.

2. The appliance should be gently pushed
into place until the table top rear ventilation
grill touches against the wall. (See Fig.2)
When in position a 20mm (3/4") clear space
above the appliance should be maintained. If
a clear space of 20mm (3/4") above the
apppliance is not available, clearances of
25mm (1") should be maintained on both
sides.
3, Your appliapée will be heavy when
loaded with fodd and must therefore be stood
on a strong firm floor. It should also be level.
Adjust the level by screwing out the
appropriate level adjusters in the front feet
using your fingers or a 25mm (1") spanner
(see fig.5). Level adjusters are also available
in the rear feet in the event of excessive floor
unevenness.

drawer or freezer bin.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
5. If this appliance is fitted with a non
rewireable plug for which your socket is |
unsuitable the plug should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted. The removed plug
should be disposed of as insertion of the plug
into a 13A socket is likely to cause an
electrical hazard. If it is necessary to change
the fuse in a non rewireable plug the fuse
cover must be replaced. If the fuse cover is
lost or damaged the plug must not be used
until a replacement is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers are available from
your nearest customer service centre. It is
important that the colour of the replacement
fuse cover corresponds with the colour insert
as embossed in words on the base of the plug.

checked by a qualified electrician who can
ensure that the appliance is operating
satisfactorily and that it has not been damaged
in transit,
11. At first you may be aware of sounds in
your kitchen which you are not used to,
particularly if your appliance is against sound-
reflective surfaces such as tiled or painted
walls. Please remember the cooling unit
includes precision built components which,
like those in car engines and other machinery
with fast moving parts, need a running in
period which may last for several weeks.
Dury this period, don't worry, just allow the
appliance time to settle down.

HOW TO USE THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL DIAL
LARDER COMPARTMENT
|. The interior temperature of the larder
compartment is automatically controlled by
the thermostat. The control dial enables the
desired degree of cooling to be selected. The
control dial is numbered @ - 6. On setting e
the cooling system is switched off but the
appliance is not disconnected from the
electrical supply. The highest number is the
coldest setting. (see fig.13)
The recommended setting is 4 to 5 for models
FD930W, FD930AL, CPD9W, CPD9AL,
EBD9W, EBD9AL.
The recommended setting is 4 for models
FD800W, FD800AL, CPD8W, CPDSAL,
EBD8W, EBDS8AL and the thermostat control
is situated in the larder box which also
automatically controls the freezer
temperature.
Fig. 13
2. If colder settings are selected for extra
chilling effect, do.mot forget to turn the
control dial backfo the correct setting
afterwards. The larder contents may freeze if
cooler temperatures are maintained for any
length of time. Operating the larder at colder
temperatures than necessary only consumes
excessive power and hence increases running
costs.
10
3. The choice of setting may be influenced
by the frequency of door openings, the
quantity of food stored, the kitchen
temperature and location of the appliance.
During warm weather a higher setting may be
required.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
|. The interior temperature of the freezer
compartment is automatically controlled by
its thermostat. The freezer is designed to
produce a storage temperature of - 18°C
(-0.4°F) or colder. The control dial is
numbered @ - 6. The higher the number the
colder the temperature. (see fig.13).
The recommended setting is 4 to 5 for models
FD930W, FD930AL, CPD9W, CPD9AL,
EBD9W, EBDOAL.
And on models FD800W, FD800AL,
CPD8W, CPD8AL, EBD8W, EBD8AL. The
freezer temperature is controlled
automatically by the thermostat situated in the
larder compartment. See note 1.
2. Due to the different installations,
methods of usage and weather conditions,
adjustments to the temperature setting may be
required. These are best assessed against a
temperature reading on a thermometer buried
in the frozen food or in a block of margarine
or butter. Remember you must take your
reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise rapidly after you remove
it.
3. If colder settings are selected for extra
chilling effect, do not forget to turn the
control dial back to the correct setting
afterwards.

When the appliance is switched on at the
mains (and also the mains on/off switch type
B) the green indicator light will glow and
continue to glow until the appliance 1s
switched off.
Red Indicator Light
This centre neon is the temperature warning
light, it will glow immediately the electricity
supply is switched on or when the cabinet
temperature rises above the required storage
temperature, It will cease to glow only when
the cabinet temperature falls to the required
storage level.
Amber Indicator Light (Fast Freeze)
This right hand neon is incorporated with the
fast freeze switch which overrides the
thermostat when switched on. This allows the
freezer to run continuously. The light will stay
on until the fast freeze switch is turned off.
HOW TO USE
THE FAST-FREEZE FACILITY
TYPE B & C MODELS ONLY
Switch on at the mains (and also the mains
on/ofi switch type B) and set the control dial
to the normal operational setting.
Operute the fast freeze switch in the
thermostat housing type (C) models or with
the slider switch type (B).
When the red temperatue warning light ceases
to glow, switch off the fast freeze switch. The
freezer ts now ready to be used for frozen
food storage,
If during normal operation the control setting
is increased the red temperature warning light
may glow, this should be ignored as 1t will
cease to glow when the freezer has reached its
new temperature.
YOUR LARDER COMPARTMENT
TEMPERATURES
1. The function of the larder compartment
is to reduce the development of organisms
which cause decay and bacterial activity, and
thus increase the storage life of food.
2. The fresh food compartment has been
designed to operate between O°C (32°F) and
5°C (41°F) and is in accordance with British
and European Standards.
FRESH FOOD COMPARTMENT
1, The larder compartment is fitted with
shelves which are adjustable for the storage of
different sized articles and may also be tilted
for the storage of bottles of wine etc. (see fig.
16)
Fig. 16 \
If your larder refrigerator is positioned near to
a wall thereby allowing the door to open
through only 90° then each shelf when tilted
can be removed as follows (see fig. 17)
The shelves are designed to allow maximum
air circulation and therefore when placing
foods on the shelves make sure a small space
is left between the packages.
2. The warmest area in the refrigerator is to
the top of the compartment and the coolest is
at the bottom of the compartment and this is
where the most perishable foods should be
kept.
3. Vegetables and salad foods can be stored
in the salad drawer with shelf. To ensure they
are maintained in a crisp condition it may be
necessary to wrap some foods in polythene
bags e.g. lettuce, watercress or herbs.
DOOR STORAGE
I Storing items in the door liner can
eliminate searching in the main compartment.
The lower door shelf should be used for the
storage of heavier bottles whilst remaining
shelves will accommodate fat, butter, small
cartons and jars etc.
2. Adjustment of the door shelves can be
made to accommodate varying heights of
bottles and other containers (see fig. 18)
3. Enclosed storage compartments may be
used to store dairy products and fats.
Fig. 18
HELPFUL HINTS
WHEN BUYING FOODS
1. Always ensure that food you purchase is
of good quality and in prime condition.
2. Shop ut a reliable source and buy the
“freshest” looking packing - avoid shop-worn
labels or produce covered in dust.
3. Avoid buying chilled food if you cannot
store it straight away. The use of an insulated
. container is advisable.
4. Buy and consume foods prior to the "Sell
By" or "Best Before” dates.
5. When you arrive home place perishable
foods in the refrigerator immediately.
6. Always follow the storage instructions
recommended by the manufacturer on the
packet.
PREPARING FOODS FOR STORAGE
1. Wash and dry soiled vegetables and fruit
before storuge. All vegetables and fruit should
be washed before eating.
2. Foods should be covered before being
placed in the refrigerator. Foil, plastic film,
polythene and plastic food containers are
suitable.
Covering foods not only prevents
transfer of flavours and foods from drying
out, but also prevents any possible cross
contamination with bacteria from raw to
cooked foods. The position or storage of food
in a refrigerator should be carefully selected
so that cross contamination will not occur.
3. Different types of food such as raw meat,
fish, dairy products and cooked food should
be kept separately to avoid contamination
from one another. Cooked foods should
always be placed above raw meats.
4. Put fresh meat and defrosting foods on a
plate, covered, at the bottom of the fridge - if
it drips onto other foods it can pass on food
poisoning bacteria, Do not let meat drip into
fresh vegetables und salads in the salad drawer.
5. With ready packed and prepacked foods
always check the label to see if the
manufacturer has given any storage advice
and follow accordingly. Many foods now
have preservatives and antitoxins removed
and this will reduce the shelf life of certain
foods.
6. Hot food should not be put straight into
the refrigerator because it can cause Intensive
work for the compressor and thus increase the
energy consumption, and therefore it 1s
important to cool cooked food quickly before
putting it into the refrigerator. |
Food should be cooled quickly to prevent ;
bacteriul growth and this may be done by
transfurring hot foods into a cold container
and standing it in a sink filled with iced water.
Ensure that the food is covered and stir at
regular intervals to reduce the temperature
quickly.
NEVER PUT HOT FOODS DIRECTLY
INTO THE REFRIGERATOR.

REPLACEMENT OF INTERIOR
LIGHT BULB
DEFROSTING YOUR LARDER
REFRIGERATOR
The defrosting of the larder compartment
occurs automatically. There 1s a drain outlet
situated at the back of the compartment, as
indicated by a label on the inside wall. This
drain outlet should be cleaned at regular
intervals.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE DRAIN
OUTLET IS KEPT CLEAR AT ALL
TIMES, IF BLOCKED CAREFULLY
CLEAR IT USING A PIECE OF
FLEXIBLE CURTAIN WIRE INSERTED
INTO THE DRAIN OUTLET TO
REMOVE BLOCKAGE.
|. Should the interior light fail to work,
first switch off and pull out the mains plug,
and then replace the bulb as follows: (see
fig.19
fig. 19
2. Remove the light cover by removing the
screw at the rear with a screwdriver and
pulling the rear outwards towards the middle
of the cabinet. Unscrew the bulb and replace
it with a new 15 watt E14 SES bulb (available
from your nearest Tricity Bendix Service
Centre).
3. Replace the cover by engaging its front
edge in the recess in the light housing, push
the rear towards the side of the cabinet and
replace the screw (see below)
YOUR FREEZER
The ET) symbol means that your freezer will
store frozen food at - 189 C (-0.49 Е) for long
term storage and will also freeze fresh food.
It will store food at a temperature that is too
cold for bacterial and enzyme activity which
causes decay, thus increasing the storage life.
If frozen correctly, food will retain texture,
colour, taste and nutritional content.
Most fresh foods freeze well, however some
freeze more successfully than others. foods
with a low proportion of water such as bread,
cakes, pastry meat, fish and poultry freeze
exceptionally well.
Similarly, game, dairy produce, fruits and
vegetables all keep well in the freezer.
Foods with a high water content such as
lettuce or marrow do not freeze well as the
freezing process breaks down their cellular
structure. Other foods which do not freeze
well are mayonnaise because it separates,
bananas because they turn black and whole
eggs in their shells because they crack.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
Your appliance has the following freezing
capabilities.
Models FD930W, FD930AL, CPDIW,
CPD9AL, EBD9W, EBD9IAL,net storage
volume 75.81 litres (2.68 cuft) * weight of
stored food 24.3kg (53.57 1b)
Models FD 800W, FD800AL, CPD8W,
CPD8AL, EBD8W, EBDSAL, net storage
volume 77.6 litres (2.74 cuft) * weight of
stored food 24.8 kg (54.8 1b).
* This is a standard measurement and the
actual capacity depends upon the density and
sizes of the food. The above figures are based
on an average density of 0.32kg per .litre
(201b. per cuft).
2. Pre-packed commercially frozen food
should be stored in accordance with the
manufacturers’ instructions for a 3 star frozen
food compartment and should be put in the
freezer as soon as possible after purchase.
Your freezer provides for long term storage
which generally means up to 3 months but the
length of storage time can vary and it is
important to follow the recommended times
shown on packets of commercially frozen
food.
3. Storage time for home prepared fresh
foods are given on pages 20 - 22.
4. Any opened packets of frozen foods
should be rewrapped in air tight materials to
prevent surface evaporation which causes
drying or “freezer bum”.
IMPORTANT
If the temperature rises in frozen foods
because of:
a) non compliance with manufactuers
instruction.
b) electric power failure.
c) due to defrosting.
then recommended storage life may be
reduced and storage times may not apply.
Frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be used
immediately or thrown away.
Alternatively if the food is uncooked and it
has not been completely defrosted it can be
cooked then refrozen.
NOTES:
|. Do not place sealed containers of
carbonated liquids such as fizzy drinks into
the freezer as it creates pressure on the
container which may cause it to explode
resulting in damage to the freezer.
2. Water ices and ice lollies should not be
consumed immediately after removal {rom
the freezer as it may result in low temperature
skin abrasions.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
During the freezing process the temperature
of fresh food should be reduced quickly so
that ice crystals are kept as small as possible
to prevent damaging the structure of food. If
freezing takes place slowly large ice crystals
are kept as small as possible to prevent
damaging the structure of food. If freezing
takes place slowly large ice crystals form and
these will affect the quality of food once it
has defrosted.
Models FD930W, FD930AL, CPD9W,
CPD9AL, EBD9W, EBD9AL. The
maximum quantity of food you can freeze
in 24 hours is 9 kg. The refrigerated top shelf
of the appliance is designed to operate as a
fast freeze compartment,
1. To freeze a full 9kg of fresh food,
precool the freezer by operating the fast-
freeze switch (type B & C models) or turning
the freezer control dial to setting 6 (type À
models) 24 hours prior to introducing the
food to be frozen. To freeze smaller quantities
of fresh food reduce the precoal period
accordingly.
Existing frozen foods should be re- arranged
to leave space on the top shelf for freezing.
2. Place packages on the top shelf in
contact with the refrigerated surface as far as
possible and space apart to allow cold air to
circulate between them. They should not touch
existing packets,
After 24 hours the food will be fully frozen.
Transfer food to another shelf or basket if
there is room. This will then allow space for
further freezing. The control dial should be
returned to its normal setting or the fast freeze
switch turned off,

maximum quantity of food you can freeze
in 24 hours is 3 kg. Run for 3-4 hours before
loading with frozen food. It is important that
the bottom shelf is removed from the freezing
compartment see (fig. 20)
3. Place as much food as possible in contact
with walls and bottom of the cabinet. After 24
hours the food will be fully frozen.
NOTE:
Aim to check dates on packets and rotate
foods regularly. Although storage longer than
recommended is not harmful, flavours and
textures begin to deteriorate.
GENERAL FOOD PREPARATION
1. FRUIT & VEGETABLES
Fruit and vegetables should preferably be
frozen immediately after picking or
purchasing or kept in a refrigerator for no
longer than twenty four hours.
For perfect results fruit should be just ripe,
and if any show signs of being damaged it
should be discarded. Most vegetables and
some fruit need to be blanched before
freezing to retasd enzyme reaction. Timings
for individual types are given in the tables on
pages 20 - 22.
BLANCHING :-
Where necessary plunge vegetables into
boiling water for the specified period, and time
from the moment they return to boil. Drain
and cool immediately in iced water before
packaging and freezing.
2. MEAT
Freeze joints in handy-sizes after trimming fat
and removing bones if necessary. Game must
be hung for the required period and cleaned
before being hung.
17
3. POULTRY
Gut, singe and wash birds thoroughly. Tie legs
and wings to the body before placing in the
freezer, or cut into joints for packing
separately. Giblets should be packed
separately.
4. FISH
All types of fish should be preferably frozen
within 24 hours of being caught. Any
superflous scales should be remcved along
with the fins, then the fish gutted and washed
clean in cold salted water before being frozen.
ICE MAKING
It may be necessary to build up a supply of ice
cubes when entertaining or for a spell of hot
weather when tce will be in demand.
First, make ice cubes by filling the ice tray
with fresh drinking water to the top of each
ice cube compartment and placing on the
freezer shelf. When ice cubes have formed,
hold the tray upside down and twist the tray
along its length, allowing loosened cubes to
fall into a plastic container or polythene bag.
Store in the freezer and use when required.
PREPARED FOODS
These freeze well, but remember that
seasonings may become stronger during
frozen food storage. Salt shortens the storage
time of frozen food so add a little more if
necessary during preparation tendancy to
thicken, so should be made up with a little
more liquid than normal. Highly spiced and
aromatic dishes should be wrapped
thoroughly, so the flavour does not transfer to
other frozen foods. Always cool prepared
foods quickly and freeze immediately.
DO NOT PLACE HOT FOODS INTO
THE FREEZER.
COOL FOODS QUICKLY
Hot food should not be put straight into the
freezer because it can cause intensive work
for the compressor and thus increase the
energy consumption. Therefore it is important
to cool cooked foods quickly before putting
them into the freezer.
Food should also be cooled quickly to prevent
bacterial growth and this may be done by
transferring hot foods into a cold container
and standing it into a sink filled with iced
water. Ensure that food is covered and stir at
regular intervals to reduce the temperature.
Once cooled transfer food into a container
suitabie for freezing.
OPEN FREEZING
This method 1s commonly used to freeze
fruits and vegetables. After preparation place
the food in a single layer on foil covered
baking sheets, trays or special fast freeze
trays, ensuring that the items do not touch
each other. Freeze the food uncovered until
hard usually (1-2 hours), after which it can be
packed into polythene bags.
This method produces free flow packs which
means that portions, whatever size, can be
taken out as required. Open freezing is also
useful for delicate foods which could become
damaged during packing, e.g. decorated
cakes, flans and pastries.
PACKAGING
It is important to use the correct packing to
preserve the quality of frozen food, All foods
should be wrapped in moisture proof
materials and be completely covered. The
most useful materials are heavy gauge
polythene bags or sheeting, plastic containers
with tigh* fitting lids, aluminium foil,
18
aluminium foil containers and waxed
cardboard containers.
Plastic film can be used as an inner wrapping
for food which is then over wrapped with a
polythene bag, or can be used to interleave
small items such as chops, steaks, burgers etc.
so that they can be removed individually. Use
freezer quality film or double wrap food items
with standard kitchen film.
Pad any sharp protruding bones on meat and
poultry with foil or plastic filmTto prevent the
bag being pierced during Tregrer storage. A
range of closures are available including bag
ties, heat sealers and self seal type polythene
bags. >
Boiling bags can be used to both pack food in
for freezing and for reheating that same food
in a pan of boiling water,
They are especially useful for items such as
new potatoes, sauces and single portions of
cooked foods. As much air as possible must
be extracted from the bag and an effective
seal is essential.
Pack foods in even shapes to maximise space
available in your freezer and facilitate
removal when required later.
LABELLING
The most useful label is probably the self
adhesive type as it can be used on every kind
of surface. Information to be written on the
label should include the type of food,
approximate weight or likely number of
servings, and any comments relevant to
ultimate use, It may be necessary to keep a
notebook handy to enable you to rotate stocks
and keep reference on what type of foods are
being used at one time.
THAWING FOOD
Most foods can be thawed in their original
wrapping to maintain moisture and prevent
any deterioration. Foods should be thawed in
a cool place such as a refrigerator or if food is
required quickly a microwave oven may be
used, remembering to transfer foods from foil
containers and remove wire enclosures from
plastic bags. Always follow the instructions in
the microwave oven's manual for thawing
frozen food. It is essential that all foods
particularly meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
1. FRUIT
Keep container closed and allow to thaw at
room temperature for about five hours.
2. VEGETABLES
It is not necessary to thaw before cooking -
place in salted boiling water, cover and time
cooking from moment of return to boil which
only takes a few minutes. Some vegetables
can also be putin the oven with a knob of
butter and some may be deep fat fried.
3. MEAT & POULTRY
Thaw completely before cooking by
preferably leaving to defrost slowly in a
refrigerator. If required quickly, a microwave
oven may be used or allow 2 to 3 hours per
'/2 kg (Ib) at room temperature, To check
whether or not poultry is defrosted the legs
should be able to move freely and there
should be no ice crystals present.
4. DAIRY PRODUCTS
Allow eggs to thaw in closed containers and
use immediately. Butter and cream depending
on the quantity will thaw in one to two hours
at room temperature,
5. BAKED ITEMS
Bread takes about two hours to thaw or loaves
may be heated in the oven. Cakes can be
sliced in their frozen state to retain shape and
speed the thawing process.
6. PREPARED FOODS
Heat gently in closed containers in the oven
and season if necessary.
7. COMMERCIAL PACKS
Follow the printed instructions given by the
manufacturers.

COMPLETE DEFROSTING
Complete defrosting will in the course of time
become necessary. This should be carried out
if the frost build up cannot be all scraped
away or if it begins to interfere with the food
storage. Choose a time when the stock of
frozen food is low and proceed as follows:
1. Take out the frozen food. Switch the
appliance off at the electricity supply and
leave the door open.
2. Ideally the foods should be put into
another freezer or refrigerator. If this is not
possible, wrap it in a compact block, first in
several sheets, newspapers or thick towels,
then in a thick rug or blanket. Keep itin a
cool place.
Models: FD800W, FD8S00AL, CPD8W,
CPDSAL, EBD8W, EBDSAL. See Note 3.
OTHER MODELS:
Place the handle of the plastic scraper
supplied, in the recess at the bottom of the
freezer compartment to act as a drainage
spout. Put a suitable container under the spout
to collect thedefrost water and leave the door
open (see Fig.21)
Fig 21.
JU
=
3. Scrape away as much frost as possible.
Thawing of the remainder can be accelerated
by placing bowls of hot water on the shelves
inside the cabinet. As the solid frost loosens,
prise it away with a wooden or plastic scraper.
When defrosting is complete, wipe over the
cabinet and the door with bicarbonate of soda
and water and dry thoroughly as described
under "Cleaning and Care".
4. When the cabinet is completely dry and
clean, close the door and switch on the
electicity supply. With the thermostat at the
recommended setting run for 30 minutes
before reloading with frozen foods.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Provided our recommendations for the
periodical removal of frost are followed, the
defrosting should be complete within 2 hours.
Provided the frozen food has been wrapped
during defrosting as described above, it can be
replaced in the freezer. If for any reason the
defrosting process has taken longer than 2
hours the outside of the frozen foods may
begin to soften.
Provided the foods have not completely
thawed they will refreeze satisfactorily,
although repeated rise in temperature may
cause slight deterioration in quality.
CLEANING AND CARE
SWITCH OFF THE APPLIANCE AT THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
The interior of your appliance should be
cleaned at regular intervals depending on
usage. Always clean when food is at a
minimum.
1. Empty the compartment and keep
foods in a cool place.
2. Wash the interior and all fitments with
a clean cloth wrung out in a bicarbonate of
soda solution - 5 ml (I teaspoon) bicarbonate
of soda 500 mil (1 pint) warm water.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS OR
ABRASIVE POWDERS TO CLEAN
THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL
DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND
LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.
3. The door seal should be cleaned with
soapy water and thoroughly dried.
4. The outside should be wiped clean with a
damp cloth and stubborn marks may be
removed with a non-scratch cream cleanser.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth. A small amount
of wax spray polish may be applied to the
exterior every few months to maintain the
gloss finish.
5. The condenser grill situated at the back
of the appliance should be dusted carefully
occasionally.
6. Switch on at the electricity supply and
replace fitments and food.
IF GOING ON HOLIDAY
If you are going away for a period of
time the following advice should be
followed:
1. For 2 days - No need to remove any
food from the larder compartment except
perishable foods such as meats and
poultry.
24
2. Upto | week - Remove all foods out
of the larder compartment except for
eggs, butter and bacon, providing the
"Best Before" date or recommended
storage times are not exceeded.
3. Over | week - Empty all contents, out
of the larder compartment.
Note: If you are transporting the appliance Le.
when moving house, switch off at the
electricity supply, empty, defrost, clean and
dry. Cover the appliance in pagkaging
materials to prevent any damage occurring
whilst transporting. Transport upright or on
right hand side when viewéd from front.
The appliance should be left to stand before
switching on again to allow the refrigerant to
settle,
