To Start the Appliance Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. Turn the thermostat control to a midway setting. The pilot light will light up. Adjust the slider control to a midway position between ÒcoldÓ and ÒcoldestÓ. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside. To switch off the appliance turn the thermostat control to position ÒÇ■ÈÓ Ð how often the door is opened Ð position of the appliance Use of an air circulation slider control Your appliance has an air circulation slider control situated at the rear of the fridge compartment, which controls the amount of cold air circulated through the fridge compartment. When the ambient temperature is between 10¡C and 16¡C, the slider control should be in the ÒcoldÓ position. When the ambient temperature is above 16¡C the slider control should be midway between ÒcoldÓ and ÒcoldestÓ. When the ambient temperature is very high (i.e. hot summer days) position the slider control to ÒcoldestÓ. Setting the temperature The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the appliance. COLD To operate the appliance proceed as follows: COLDEST Turn the thermostat control beyond the Ç■È position. Position min = minimum coldness Position max = maximum coldness Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. The intermediate position is usually the most suitable. The thermostat control regulates the temperature both within the fridge and the freezer compartment. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the appliance depends on the following factors: 12 COLD COLDEST D751 5 SOMETHING NOT WORKING Fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. If the appliance is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before calling out an engineer . Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints: Symptom Solution Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad drawers. No power to the appliance Check there is power at the socket. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. Vent Check there is not a power cut by checking the household lights. Check the fuse has not blown. D756 Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the salad drawers. The light does not come on Ensure that the bulb is correctly fitted. Replace the bulb if it has blown. 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. Check the door light switch is not jammed. Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. The temperature in the fridge or freezer section is too high Check the thermostat control knob is turned to the correct setting relative to ambient conditions. Check the ambient temperature is within the applianceÕs operating limits of 10¡C to 32¡C. Relocate the appliance if necessary. Warning If using the appliance with the salad drawer removed, please ensure the vent in the back wall of the appliance is not obstructed. The freezer door will not open Has door just been opened? If so leave for a few minutes to allow the air pressure to equalise. The compressor runs continously Adjust the thermostat control knob to give correct temperature control. See ÒSetting the temperatureÓ. Check that the doors are closed. Movable shelves Large quantities of food have recently been placed in the cabinet and/or door is frequently opened. The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired. Check that air vent is not obstructed. Noise D040 Refer to normal operating sounds. SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS If you require further information regarding the appliance, the terms and conditions of the guarantee, or wish to call out engineer, please contact Expert Appliance Care by telephoning:- 0870 9099100 6 11 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. Internal cleaning The freezer compartment Thawing Changing the light bulb The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods. Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply, then replace the bulb as follows; Frozen or frozen food 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. Freezing fresh food When freezing fresh foods set the slider control to the ÒcoldÓ position and turn the thermostat control to a higher setting. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 6 kg. NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG ODOUR. External cleaning Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched OFF. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure. Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part. After 24 hours reposition the slider control and thermostat control to previous setting. Important D613 Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available from Expert Appliance Care). Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original position and replacing the screw. Automatic Defrosting Your appliance has been designed to be frost free. This means there is no need to defrost your appliance as this will be carried out automatically. To ensure correct operation of the appliance do not use the appliance with the basket or drawers removed. DEFROST TRAY COMPRESSOR D273 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 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. Frozen food storage Frozen food can be stored in any basket or drawer of the freezer compartment, including the fast freeze compartment. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer. Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Warning CONDENSER 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. Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment. Ices lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin burns. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ. When the appliance is not in use Making ice cubes When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells. Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in the freezer compartment. The appliance is provided with one or more trays for ice-cubes trays. Important! In the event of a power failure - DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. If the temperature in the freezer rises, and the food begins to thaw, do not re-freeze the food without checking its conditions. 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 re-frozen 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 re-frozen 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 re-frozen as a cooked dish. 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. 10 7 Normal Operating Sounds The advanced design of todayÕs frost free appliances means you hear unfamilar noises during everyday operation. The diagram below describes some of the noises you may hear. These are quite normal and your appliance is operating correctly HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever. The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible. ¥ The thermostat control will click when starting or stopping the compressor. The fan circulates cold air to cool the refrigerator and the freezer compartment and sounds like air blowing or a whirring sound. The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coil makes a gurgling noise. Defrost water drips into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. Water dropping on the defrost heater causes a hissing or popping sound during the defrost cycle. The automatic defrost timer sounds like an electric clock and clicks in and out of the defrost cycle. The compressor will make a humming or pulsating sound while operating. 8 Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange juice rose to 22¡C in an hour between the supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get down to 7¡C in the refrigerator. ¥ Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. ¥ ¥ Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible. Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal . ¥ ¥ Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. ¥ Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food in a place as cool as possible in order that it can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible). 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. ¥ Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy drink in the freezer as they may explode. Containers with a lid must not be filled to the brim. ¥ Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in the freezer next to food which is already frozen as this could cause the temperature of the frozen food to rise and its quality and storage life to reduce . ¥ The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. ¥ Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in separate containers. Take care not to let the meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly. ¥ Do not store food uncovered. ¥ The best way to defrost food is to put it in the refrigerator to thaw slowly. ¥ Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean (refer to ÒMaintenance and Cleaning). ¥ Never allow spillages to dry and harden. ¥ 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. ¥ It is important that food is used before its Òbest beforeÓ date. ¥ Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped eggs. ¥ Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris. ¥ Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food. ¥ Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly in between. ¥ The fresh foods to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality. ¥ The size of each pack should be small enough to ensure that it is used in one go . Small packs freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better results. 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. 9
