Dry thoroughly. 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, situated on the back wall of the fridge section, to a midway position between “MIN” and “MAX”. 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 “«■»” Setting the temperature Use of an air circulation slider control - COOL FLOW 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 “MIN” position. When the ambient temperature is above 16°C the slider control should be midway between “MIN” and “MAX”. When the ambient temperature is very high (i.e. hot summer days) position the slider control to “MAX”. The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the appliance. To operate the appliance proceed as follows: Turn the thermostat control beyond the «■» position. Position min = minimum coldness MIN MAX COOL FLOW CONTROL 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: 4 MIN MAX COOL FLOW CONTROL D757/1 Fresh food refrigeration Door reversal directions 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. 1. Disconnect from the electricity supply. 2. Remove all loose items, including food, store food in a cool place. B 3. Gently lay the fridge/freezer on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of packing. A To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints: B 4. Remove the feet (B). 5. Remove bottom hinge (A). Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation. Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad drawers. D715 PIED/M 6. Remove the freezer door by releasing it from the middle hinge (H). 7. Unscrew the middle hinge. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. H 8. Slide out the fridge door from pin (D), unscrew pin (D) and then screw it down into the hinge provided on the opposite side, after having removed the small plugs (I) which should then be fitted on the opposite side. D756 Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the salad drawers. 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. 9. Refit the fridge door and replace the middle hinge to the left hand side. Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. 10.Replace the door and bottom hinge (A) on the opposite side. 11.Refit the feet (B). Warning D Attention After completion of the door reversing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting. If using the appliance with the salad drawer removed, please ensure the vent in the back wall of the appliance is not obstructed. Movable shelves The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired. I I D040 I The door shelves can be easily removed for cleaning. Gently ease the shelf in the directions shown. Adjustment of the door shelves can be made to accommodate varying heights of bottles and other containers. Store light items such as small cartons and jars on the door shelves. 16 5 The freezer compartment Thawing The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods. 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. When freezing fresh foods set the slider control to the “min” position and turn the thermostat control to a higher setting. In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 6 kg. 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 To ensure correct operation of the appliance do not use the appliance with the basket or drawers removed. 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 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 “frost/freezer burns”. 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. 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. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed. Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13amp socket in another part of your home. Important Important! Green and Yellow - Earth 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. Blue - Neutral Brown - Live 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. A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Service Force Centre. This appliance complies with the E.E.C.

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. Normal Operating Sounds Depending upon the position which you choose for your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions on “Door reversal directions” paragraph. The advanced design of today’s 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 Important It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation. 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. 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. A B 10 mm +10°C to + 32°C 10 mm SN 100 mm The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: NP00 The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coil makes a gurgling noise. Defrost water drips into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. 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). 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. There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath. The compressor will make a humming or pulsating sound while operating. A Rear spacers The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted into special holes in the back of the appliance. 45° PR60 Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the diagram. Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A) vertical) until they lock into place. 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. D200 14 7 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. • 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. • • Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible. • • 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). • 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 “Maintenance 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 “best before” 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. 8 • • • • TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIMENSIONS Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen. 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. 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 .
