Dimensions

USING THE APPLIANCE

“Door Open” Indicator;
The “Door Open” indicator on the handle shows whether the door has closed properly or whether it remains open.
If the indicator is red, the door is still open. If the indicator is white, the door is properly closed.

The freezer door should always be kept closed. This will prevent food products from defrosting. Any heavy ice and frost build-up inside the freezer, and an unnecessary increase in energy consumption, will be avoided.

Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the fridge. Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted by rotating the thermostat knob to higher or lower numbers dependent on the required temperature;
Important note: Do not try to rotate the knob beyond position 1, it will stop your appliance from working.

Thermostat settings:

• 1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food
• 3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food (standard recommended setting for average daily use would be 3)
• 5 : Maximum cooling position.

The appliance will work longer in the maximum position. This is only recommended for short term use to cool the fridge and freezer compartment prior to adding large amounts of fresh products. Do not use for more than 24hrs as it may cause produce in the fridge with a high moisture content to freeze due to the reduced internal temperature.
Important Note: The higher the thermostat is set the more ice will form on the back wall of the fridge (see page 20 for image). This is perfectly normal and will defrost and turn to water droplets during the automatic defrosting operation of the fridge.

Temperature Settings Warnings

• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient temperature in the location of your appliance.
• When the appliance is first switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your appliance when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your appliance will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.

Climate class and meaning:

• T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.
• ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.
• N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.
• SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.

Accessories
1 Ice Tray

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen, you can twist the tray as shown below to remove the ice cubes.

Super freezing:

This switch shall be used as a super freeze switch. For maximum freezing capacity, please turn on this switch 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer box. After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours in the ON position is generally sufficient. In order to save energy, please turn off this switch a maximum of 24 hours after placing fresh food in the freezer or when the food is completely frozen.

FOOD STORAGE

Refrigerator Compartment

• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.

• Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge.

• Do not place warm foods in fridge. Place them when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increases, reducing the fridge’s efficiency.

• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
  We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.

• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers. Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.). Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.

• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.

• Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
  Do not allow food to come into contact with the temperature sensor, which is located in the refrigerator compartment, in order to keep the refrigerator compartment at optimum temperature.

• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date. For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to run at +4 °C.

• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C may become iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.

• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.

• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.

• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

container and store on the glass shelf
Fresh cheese| 3 – 4 days| On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine| 1 week| On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g. milk and yoghurt| Until the expiry date recommended by the producer| On the designated door shelf
Eggs| 1 month| On the designated egg shelf
Cooked food| 2 days| All shelves

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

Freezer Compartment

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.

• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.

• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.

• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.

• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting

• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.

• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.

• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.

• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity
  and abnormal swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form and can prevent efficient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.

• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.

• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause problems such as food poisoning.

NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you may find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer compartment.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for cleaning the appliance. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.

The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.

Defrosting
Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment

• • Defrosting occurs automatically in
  the refrigerator compartment during operation. The water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
  • The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
  • You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it.

Freezer defrosting process

• Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending on the length of time the door may be left open or the amount of moisture introduced.

• It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form in places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the compressor. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. It is not necessary to switch off the appliance for the removal of thin frost.

• For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply, empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep cool. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is nearly empty and should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent an unnecessary increase in the temperature of the contents.

• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will shorten the storage life. Keep contents well wrapped and cool while defrosting is taking place.

• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.

• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment.

• Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have thawed out, they should be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked and re-frozen.

• After defrosting is complete, clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of warm water and a little bicarbonate of soda, then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number MAX before introducing the food back into the freezer.

BEFORE CALLING AFTER SALES SERVICE

If you are experiencing a problem with your appliance, please check the following before contacting the after-sales service. Your appliance is not operating

Check if:

• The thermostat is set to the correct setting and not in the off position
• There is power
• The plug is correctly placed in the socket
• The plug fuse or the mains fuse has blown
• The socket is defective. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket.

The appliance performs poorly
Check if:

• The appliance is overloaded
• The appliance door is closed properly
• There is any dust on the condenser
• There is enough space near the rear and side walls.

The appliance is noisy:
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is normal. If you hear a different sound, check whether:

• The appliance is level
• Anything is touching the rear of the appliance
• Objects in the appliance are vibrating.

Your refrigerator is operating noisily: The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.

Normal noises:
Cracking noise occurs:

• During automatic defrosting
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

Short cracking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash occurs: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs: Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: In some models during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
The edges of the appliance in contact with the door joint are warm: Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may become warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.

The door does not open or close properly
Check if:

• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
• The door joints are broken or torn
• Your appliance is on a level surface.
• The decor door has been fitted correctly allowing the fridge door to seal easily.

There is a build-up of humidity inside the appliance
Check if:

• • All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the appliance.
  • The appliance door is opened frequently. Humidity of the room enters the appliance when the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster when the doors are opened more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

There is water in the lower part of the refrigerator or on the shelves.
As this is a Wet Wall fridge you will find under normal operation that moisture within the fridge will freeze to the back wall forming ice during the cooling phase (see below image). Once the appliance has reached the required temperature it will then stop running and go in to it’s Auto-Defrost mode within the fridge compartment which will mean that the ice on the back wall will start to defrost and form water droplets that will then run down the rear wall and in to the defrost channel.

Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use a defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole if blocked).
Make sure that nothing is touching the back wall as this will cause water to run on to shelves or bypass the drain hole, also if anything is touching the back wall it will freeze to the wall during the cooling phase.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

• Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.

• Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.

• Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment if available. The low temperature of the frozen food will
