4 Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/
freezer check that:
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)”
9. When the freezer reaches the
desired temperature the freezer fan will
stop. When the freezer fan is on, the
noise will be louder when the freezer
door is opened.
10. Avoid spillage of food particularly
small items like rice, peas, beans
through the fan guard as they may
cause the cooling system to block and
therefore operate less efficiently.
1. The feet have been adjusted for
perfect levelling.
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.
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.
“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 setting knob half way
between min and max.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.

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.
Operating temperatures are controlled
by the setting knob (see diagram)
located on the ceiling of fridge
compartment. Settings may be made
from min, 1 ... 6, max, max being the
coldest position.
If the ambient (room or garage)
temperature is between 0 °C and
-15 °C, we recommend you adjust
the knob to setting 4 to reach -18 C
in the freezer compartment. Lower
temperatures may be obtained by
adjusting setting knob towards max
position.
When the appliance is switched on
for the first time, the setting knob
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 knob half
way between the min and max setting
and monitor to obtain the desired
temperature i. e. towards max you will
obtain a colder fridge temperature and
vice versa. Some sections of the fridge
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 setting knob towards max
position.

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
SUGGESTED
ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD
IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
recommendation for
storage
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. 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,
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.
Arrangement Examples (See diagram)
1. Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy
products, cans.
2. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
3. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
4. Making, storing ice cubes.
5. Frozen food.
6. Frozen food and freezing of fresh
food.
7. Butter, cheese.
8. Small bottles, cans, tubes.

The following guidelines and
recommendations are suggested to
obtain the best
results and storage hygiene.
EN
15
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins,
drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all
removable.
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.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
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.
13. For hygiene reasons, always
wrap food using a suitable packaging
material before storing in your
appliance to avoid contact with the
appliance surface.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are
not consumed for several weeks and
stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly
reduce in size and eventually disappear
completely.

DEFROSTING
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
the drain tube (2). If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce
the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart
automatic defrosting.
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.
