PRODUCT SAFETY

ATTENTION

Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance.

Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards

(EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark

(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.

It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to leave it exposed to rain or storms.

2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained in this manual.

3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or with wet hands or feet.

4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or dangerously pinched or compressed.

5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the plug from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.

6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance, especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.

7. Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause burns.

8. Never clean the appliance or perform maintenance without first disconnecting it from the electrical mains. Turning the thermostat knob to the setting does not suffice to break all electrical contact with the mains.

9. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal, remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent children who might play in or around the appliance from being locked inside.

10. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunction, consult the chapter entitled “TROUBLESHOOTING" to determine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem.

Do not try to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance.

11. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance must necessarily be replaced by our service centre because special tools are required for replacement.

12. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the manufacturer.

13. At the end of the functional life of your appliance – containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter should made safe before being sent to the dump.

For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local

Organisation in charge of waste disposal.

INSTALLATION

To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to reduce energy consumption, it is important that the appliance is installed correctly.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Areas not adequately ventilated are not suitable for this appliance. Therefore it should be installed in a room with an opening (eg. window) that provides the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important that the room is not too humid.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, hob or the like.

Electrical Connection and Earthing

Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located within the freezer, corresponds to the mains voltage in your homeand that the socket is fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages and/or injuries arising out of the use of the appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.

Position the appliance in such a way that you can access the socket where it is plugged in.

Insufficient power?

The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate located within the freezer.

Before making the electrical connection...

After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions properly.

GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE

NOTICE

After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours before connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates properly.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda.

After plugging in an switching on at the socket, make sure the light is on inside the refrigerator compartment.

Then turn the temperature control (A) to the 3 setting.

After a few hours, you can place fresh food inside the refrigerator and frozen food inside the freezer.

How to use the refrigerator compartment

The temperature control automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance

1 = minimum cold temperature

5 = maximum cold temperature

It is recommended that a medium setting be used.

Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operating normally.

To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment.

When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not.

If the temperature control is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase in energy consumption.

To avoid this situation, just turn the temperature control to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically.

- The air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheese should be placed above the vegetable crisper.

- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible for any extended amount of time.

- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any longer than raw food.

- Remember to cool hot food before storing, otherwise the temperature inside the appliance will rise, causing the compressor to work harder and use more energy. Do not store liquids in containers without covering them because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.

- Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, increase energy consumption and facilitate the formation of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with practical, removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place large items in the refrigerator. These shelves can also be tilted for storage of opened bottled.

Fig. 1

The rail 'D' (Fig. 2) is removable and therefore it can be positioned on any shelf depending on your particular needs.

How to use the freezer compartment...

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual.

- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be refrozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again.

- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment, where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing.

-The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is indicated on the rating plate situated inside the refrigerator compartment.

- When using the appliance for the first time, or after it has been turned off, you can place food into it only after it has been running for 6-8 hours. Then put the fresh food into the the appropriate compartments and turn the temperature control

(A) to setting 3. Freezing will be complete after approximately

24 hours.

- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer.

- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly marked with the content and the date they were frozen.

- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours.

- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.

- Fill ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.

- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for a long peraiod of time the freezer will not reach the temperatures required for storage and storage life will be shorter. In this case frozen food should be used within a relatively short period of time.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

- Install the Appliance Correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.

- Correct temperature settings

Set the refrigerator temperature to one of the middle settings.

Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may ruin vegetables and cheese.

- Do not Overfill

Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air circulation and overwork the compressor.

- Keep the Door Closed

Open your doors only when necessary, remember that every time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To bring bring the temperature back to the proper level, the motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a substantial amount of energy.

- Check the Door Seals

Keep the seals clean and make sure that they fit tightly against the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.

- No Hot Foods

A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the temperature significantly, allow food to cool to room temperature before storing.

- Check you appliance for build up of ice

Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer and immediately defrost it if the layer becomes too thick. (see

CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE).

11

GB

CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process.

How to Defrost the Refrigerator

This appliance defrosts automatically and the condensed water is channelled to the back of the appliance toward the drain installed for this purpose (fig. 3). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located behind the fruit and vegetable crisper, keeping it clear so that the water drains properly.

-

-

How to Defrost the Freezer

- Remember to regularly remove the frost with the scraper provided (do not use knives or metal objects).

- If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, the freezer should be

-

defrosted.

Proceed as follows:

Turn the temperature control (A) to the setting.

Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in news paper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool place.

Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws completely.

You can speed this process by placing containers of warm water in the compartment.

The unit is provided with a system which allows the defrost water to be collected in a container, the container should be placed beneath the unit (see figs. 4 and 5).

Fig. 3

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Before cleaning the appliance, first switch off and remove the plug from the socket.

- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers to store foods, in order to prevent spills which could stain and cause unpleasant, difficult to remove odours.

- Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance. Cean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is, among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not have any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.

- DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or deterents containing ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products.

- All removable parts should be taken out and soaked in warm soapy water or detergent. Rinse and dry them thoroughly before putting them back in the appliance.

-

When the appliance is not used for a long time, remember to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leave the doors open to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odors.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Nothing works

Check that:

· The mains switch in your home is on.

· There has not been a power cut.

· The plug is properly inserted in the socket and is switched on.

· The socket is working; try another appliance in the socket to check.

· The fuse in the plug is ok - if not replace it,

(see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION).

The appliance makes too much noise.

The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even when the compressor is not running (this is not a defect).

Check that:

· The refrigerator is level.

· The appliance was installed between cabinets or objects that vibrate and make noise.

The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool properly.

Check that:

· The doors close well and that the seals are not damaged

· The doors have not been left open too long.

· The thermostat knob is on the correct setting.

· The refrigerator or freezer is not overfilled.

The food inside the refrigerator is too cold

Check that:

· the temperature setting is too low (or not the best).

· The food is not in contact with the back wall - which is the coldest part.

The motor runs constantly

Check that:

· the temperature control is on the correct setting.

· the doors have not been open continuously.

· The room temperature is too high.

There is water on the bottom of the refrigerator.

Check that:

· The defrost drain is clear from any blockage (see fig. 3).

If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or the problem persists, call Creda Service (see KEY

CONTACTS, back page) and inform them of:

- the type of problem

- the abbreviation of the model name (Mod.) and the relative numbers (S/N)

Information can be found on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.

Recycling & Disposal Information

As part of Creda's continued commitment to helping the environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.

Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.

To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket and the door cannot be locked shut.
