OPERATION

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an

«OFF» (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness

Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.

The intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4).

The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:

– how often the door is opened

– how much food is stored

– position of the appliance

Important

During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.

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 & wild fowl): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crispers.

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 bottom salad crispers.

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.

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 or to the fixed freezer shelves.

• 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.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.

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.

INSTALLATION

Important

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT

HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST

ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT

YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

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”.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

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.

Rear spacers

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

Cool Check Guide

The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip sealed in a shelf trim.

When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature to store food the guide will appear black. If the temperature rises above this level the guide will show the words TOO WARM.

Positioning of the Cool Check

The shelf with the cool check temperature guide must be placed in the fridge according to the instructions located on the fridge wall and always ensure the guide is at the front.

If the Cool Check shows TOO WARM

In certain conditions the temperature guide may show TOO WARM if:

• The fridge is switched off

• The door has been recently opened

• A quantity of warmer food has been introduced to the fridge

• The fridge temperature is above the recommended maximum for the safe storage of food.

The cool check will change to show “TOO WARM“ very quickly after the door has been opened. It will however take a number of hours to return to black, indicating that the temperature is correct.

The appliance should be left overnight and the cool check examined in the morning. If the cool check shows TOO WARM, turn the thermostat to a colder setting leave overnight and examine again the following morning.

Hints and Tips

• The guide is only suitable for use in the model supplied.

• The guide will not operate in a freezer compartment.

• When cleaning the shelf take care not to immerse in water, and wipe away any spills.

INSTALLATION

Important

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT

HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST

ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT

YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

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”.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

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.

Rear spacers

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

Cool Check Guide

The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip sealed in a shelf trim.

When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature to store food the guide will appear black. If the temperature rises above this level the guide will show the words TOO WARM.

Positioning of the Cool Check

The shelf with the cool check temperature guide must be placed in the fridge according to the instructions located on the fridge wall and always ensure the guide is at the front.

If the Cool Check shows TOO WARM

In certain conditions the temperature guide may show TOO WARM if:

• The fridge is switched off

• The door has been recently opened

• A quantity of warmer food has been introduced to the fridge

• The fridge temperature is above the recommended maximum for the safe storage of food.

The cool check will change to show “TOO WARM“ very quickly after the door has been opened. It will however take a number of hours to return to black, indicating that the temperature is correct.

The appliance should be left overnight and the cool check examined in the morning. If the cool check shows TOO WARM, turn the thermostat to a colder setting leave overnight and examine again the following morning.

Hints and Tips

• The guide is only suitable for use in the model supplied.

• The guide will not operate in a freezer compartment.

• When cleaning the shelf take care not to immerse in water, and wipe away any spills.

Door reversal directions

1. Disconnect from the electricity supply.

2. Remove all loose items, including food, store food in a cool place.

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;

4. Remove the feet (3)

5. Remove bottom hinge (1).

6. Slide out the door from pin (G), unscrew the latter and then screw it down into the hinge provided on the opposite side, after having removed the small plugs which should then be fitted on the opposite side.

7. Refit the door and bottom hinge (1) on the opposite side.

OPERATION

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an

«OFF» (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness

Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.

The intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4).

The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:

– how often the door is opened

– how much food is stored

– position of the appliance

Important

During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.

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 & wild fowl): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crispers.

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 bottom salad crispers.

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.

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 or to the fixed freezer shelves.

• 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.
