OPERATION  
Fresh food refrigeration  
Before use  
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.  
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.  
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:  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated  
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and  
one «OFF» (O) position.  
Position 1 = minimum coldness  
Position 6 = maximum coldness  
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.  
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,  
although the temperature will be affected by:  
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in  
polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper.  
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 crisper.  
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.  
l
Room temperature  
l How often the door is opened  
l How much food is stored  
l Position of the appliance  
In determining the correct temperature control  
setting all these factors have to be considered and  
some experimentation may be necessary.  
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24  
hours for the temperature to stablise before making  
further changes.  
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with  
runners so that shelves can be positioned as  
desired.  
Important  
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is  
possible that because a very low tempera-  
ture has been selected, the motor is working  
continuously, which prevents the defrost  
cycle from operating.  
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower num  
ber should be selected on the thermostat  
and you should notice that the motor cuts  
out from time to time, which is correct.  
If you wish to return to a lower temperature,  
turn the thermostat to a higher number, how  
ever you should turn the setting lower occa-  
sionally to allow automatic defrosting.

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.  
Never allow spillages to dry and harden.  
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.  
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as  
possible.  
Always wash your hands with soapy water and  
dry them with a clean towel before handling food.  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow  
air to circulate around each item.  
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross  
contamination by not using the same work  
surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly  
in between.  
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do  
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave  
food in a cool place 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.  
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean the interior (see “Maintenance and  
Cleaning”).

DEFROSTING  
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the  
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the  
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance  
above the compressor, where it evaporates.  
Important  
To avoid defrost water overflowing into  
the fridge, periodically clean the water  
discharge hole in the centre of the V  
shaped drip collector at the back of the  
refrigerator compartment behind the fruit  
and vegetable drawers. Use the special  
cleaner provided which you will find  
already inserted into the discharge hole.  
D037  
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.  
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.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried  
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the  
ELECTRICITY supply.  
When the appliance is not in use  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all  
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar  
to prevent unpleasant smells.  
Internal cleaning  
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and  
bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse  
and dry thoroughly.  
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 SMELL.  
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular  
intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never  
obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.  
External cleaning  
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do  
NOT use abrasive products.  
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 the figure.  
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched OFF.  
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of  
the appliance and cause excessive electricity  
consumption.

appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply,

pressing as shown in the figure.  
Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new 15 watt

INSTALLATION  
Positioning  
For this appliance to work efficiently, it should be  
located away from heat sources, e.g. cookers,  
radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. This also  
includes locations or rooms where the ambient  
temperature reaches above 32°C (90°F) or drops  
below 10°C (50°F),e.g. conservatories.  
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely

around the back and the top of the cabinet. There  
must also be a minimum distance beween the top of  
the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture as  
shown in the figure.  
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.  
NP006  
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the  
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet

Door Reversal  
Before carrying out the operations described below,  
pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.  
To carry out this reversal go through the following  
steps:  
1. Gently lay the appliance on its back with the top  
held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of  
packing.  
2. Remove the bottom door hinge (5).  
3. Remove the door (4) by opening it and pulling it  
gently downwards to remove it from the top hinge  
pin (2).  
4. Unscrew the top hinge pin (2) from the top hinge (1)  
and replace it in the opposite hole on the left hand  
side.  
5. Unscrew the foot at the base (6) of the appliance  
and refit it on the opposite side.  
6. Refit the door and the bottom hinge to the left hand  
side.  
When positioning the bottom hinge blade on the  
reverse side, the securing screws will require a  
degree of exersion when fitting.  
It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips  
before starting this operation.  
Important  
After completion of the door reversal opera-  
tion, verify that the door gasket is sealing  
onto the cabinet.
