4 Before operating  
Final Check  
5. You will hear a noise as the  
compressor starts up. The liquid and  
gases sealed within the refrigeration  
system may also give rise to noise,  
whether the compressor is running or  
not which is quite normal.  
Before you start using the fridge/  
freezer check that:  
1. The feet have been adjusted for  
perfect levelling.  
“Due to operation of the fan inside  
the frost free freezer compartment,  
overall noise level is slightly higher  
in comparison to non-frost free  
appliances. This is quite normal and is  
not a fault.”  
6. Set the thermostat knob half way  
between 1 and 5.  
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel  
warm. This is normal. These areas  
are designed to be warm to avoid  
condensation.  
2. The interior is dry and air can  
circulate freely at the rear of the  
cabinet.  
3. Clean the interior as recommended  
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”  
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket  
and switch on the electricity supply.  
• When the door is open the fridge  
interior light will come on.  
8. “Do not load the appliance  
immediately it is switched on. Wait until  
the correct storage  
temperature  
has been reached. We recommend  
that you check the temperature  
with an accurate thermometer (see;  
Temperature Control and Adjustment)”

5 Using your refrigerator  
TEMPERATURE CONTROL  
AND ADJUSTMENT  
We recommend that you check  
the temperature with an accurate  
thermometer to ensure that the  
storage compartments are kept to the  
desired temperature.  
Remember you must take your reading  
very quickly since the thermometer  
temperature will rise very rapidly after  
you remove it from the freezer.  
Please remember each time the door  
is opened cold air escapes and the  
internal temperature rises. Therefore  
never leave the door open and ensure  
it is closed immediately after food is  
put in or removed.  
In case of a temporary ice build up in  
the fridge compartment, reduce the  
thermostat setting to 1, monitoring  
at the same time that the fridge  
temperature is maximum +5 degrees  
C [41 degrees F]. Once the ice build  
up disappears and the appliance  
starts auto defrosting again as normal,  
Operating temperatures are controlled  
by the thermostat knob (see diagram)  
located on the ceiling of fridge  
compartment. Settings may be made  
from 1 to 5, 5 being the coldest  
position.  
When the appliance is switched  
on for the first time, the thermostat  
should be adjusted so that after 24  
hours, the average fridge temperature  
is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We  
recommend you set the thermostat  
half way between the 1 and 5 setting  
and monitor to obtain the desired  
temperature i. e. towards 5 you will  
obtain a colder fridge temperature and then you may increase the thermostat  
vice versa. Some sections of the fridge setting, if required.  
may be cooler or warmer ( such as the  
salad crisper and the top part of the  
cabinet ) which is quite normal.  
The normal storage temperature of the  
freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower  
temperatures may be obtained by  
adjusting thermostat knob towards 5  
position.

SUGGESTED  
ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD  
IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER  
The following guidelines and  
recommendations are suggested to  
obtain the best  
results and storage hygiene.  
1. The fridge compartment is for the  
short term storage of fresh food and  
drinks.  
2. The freezer compartment is  
rated and suitable for the freezing  
and storage of pre frozen food. The

as stated on the food packaging  
should be observed at all times.  
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in  
airtight covered containers.  
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be  
placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and  
vegetables should be cleaned and  
stored in the crisper bins.  
5
6
5. Bottles can be placed in the door  
section.  
6. To store raw meat, wrap in  
polythene bags and place on the  
lowest shelf. Do not allow to come  
into contact with cooked food to avoid  
contamination. For safety, only store  
raw meat for two to three days.  
7. Keep the food packed wrapped  
or covered. Allow hot food and  
beverages to cool before placing them  
in the fridge. Do not store explosive  
substances. High proof alcohol must  
be stored upright in sealed containers.  
Left over canned food should not be  
stored in the can.  
8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen  
and products such as flavoured water  
ices should not be consumed too cold.  
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer  
damage if kept at temperatures near  
0°C. Therefore wrap pineapples,  
Arrangement Examples (See diagram)

melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and  
similar produce in polythene bags.  
10. Place chilled cooked food and  
similar food near the rear of the fridge  
inner liner where the cold wall is  
located.  
11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins,  
drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all  
removable.  
If there is a power failure do not open  
the door. Frozen food should not be  
affected if the failure lasts for less than  
13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the  
food should be checked and either  
eaten immediately or cooked and then  
re-frozen.  
FREEZING FRESH FOOD  
12. Do not leave frozen food at room  
temperature to thaw; the best way to  
defrost food is to put it in the fridge  
to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid  
defrosting food or food juices drip onto  
other food.  
13. For hygiene reasons, always  
wrap food using a suitable packaging  
material before storing in your  
appliance to avoid contact with the  
appliance surface.  
Please observe the following  
instructions to obtain the best results.  
Do not freeze too large a quantity at  
any one time. The quality of the food  
is best preserved when it is frozen  
right through to the core as quickly as  
possible.  
Placing warm food into the freezer  
compartment causes the refrigeration  
compressor to operate continuously  
until the food is frozen solid. This can  
temporarily lead to excessive cooling  
of the refrigeration compartment.  
STORING FROZEN FOOD  
Prepacked commercially frozen food  
should be stored in accordance with  
the  
When freezing fresh food turn the  
frozen food manufacturers instructions setting knob towards. Max small  
quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb)  
can be frozen without having to rotate  
the temperature control knob.  
for a  
compartment.  
frozen food storage  
To ensure that the high quality  
achieved by the frozen food  
manufacturer and the  
food retailer is maintained, the  
following should be remembered:  
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly  
as possible after purchase.  
2. Ensure that contents are labelled  
and dated.  
You may place fresh food to be frozen  
in any part of the freezer.  
Take special care not to mix already  
frozen food and fresh food.  
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best  
Before” dates on the packaging.

MAKING ICE CUBES  
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with  
water and place it in the Ice Bank.  
Loosen frozen trays with the handle  
of a spoon, never use sharp edged  
objects such as knives, forks. Store  
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.  
DEFROSTING  
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT  
Defrosting is very easy and without mess  
thanks to a special defrost collection well.  
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer  
of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed. To  
start defrosting procedure, switch off the  
appliance at the socket outlet and pull  
out the mains plug. All food should be  
wrapped in several layers of newspaper  
and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or  
larder).  
Remove all freezer drawers. Containers  
full of warm water may be placed  
carefully in the freezer to speed up the  
defrosting.  
Do not use pointed or sharp edged  
objects such as knives, forks to  
remove the frost.  
Never use hairdryers, electrical  
heaters and other similar electrical  
appliances for defrosting.  
When defrosting has finished, sponge  
out any defrost water which collects at  
the bottom of the freezer well and dry  
the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug  
in to the wall socket and switch on the  
electricity supply.  
A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT  
The fridge compartment defrosts  
automatically. The defrosting water  
runs to the drain tube via a collection  
container at the back of the appliance  
(1).(see diagram) During defrosting  
water droplets may form at the back of  
the fridge compartment  
where concealed evaporator is  
located.Some droplets may remain on  
the liner and refreeze when defrosting  
is completed. Do not use pointed or  
sharp edged objects such as knives,  
forks to remove the droplets which  
have frozen.  
If at any time the defrost water does  
not drain from the collection channel,  
check to ensure that no food particles  
have blocked the drain tube. The drain  
tube can be cleared by pushing the  
special plastic plunger provided down

bicarbonate of soda to one pint of  
water to clean the interior and wipe it  
dry.

removed once a year with a vacuum  
cleaner.

PROBLEM SOLVING  
If the appliance does not operate when  
switched on, check whether:  
Don’t- Give children ice-cream and  
water ices direct from the freezer.  
The low temperature may cause  
‘freezer burns’ on lips.  
• The plug is inserted properly in the  
socket and that the power supply is  
on. (To check the power supply to the  
socket, plug in another appliance)  
• The fuse has blown/circuit breaker  
has tripped/main distribution switch  
has been turned off.  
• The temperature control has been  
set correctly and not to “0” (OFF)  
• New plug is wired correctly if you  
have changed the fitted moulded plug.  
If the appliance is still not operating  
after the above checks, please refer  
to the section on “How To Obtain  
Service”.

with wet hands.  
Don’t- Close the freezer door before  
placing the compartment cover in  
its place.  
Don’t- Leave frozen food at room

fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure  
you avoid defrosting food or food  
juices drip onto other food.

been made as a charge will be made if
