Before operating

Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/ freezer check that:

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 “Maintenance and cleaning”.

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.

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.

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).

Using your refrigerator

Temperature control and adjustment

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 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 thermostat knob towards 5 position.
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 builds up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.

Suggested arrangement of food in the fridge/freezer

Arrangement examples (see diagram):

1. Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy products, cans.
2. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
3. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
4. Making and storing ice cubes,
5. Frozen food and freezing of fresh food.
6. Frozen food.
7. Butter, cheese, small bottles, cans, tubes.
8. Eggs.
9. Tall, large bottles, beverages.

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 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.
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.
13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.

Storing frozen food
Pre packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a frozen food storage compartment.
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.
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging. 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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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).
Please flush with approximately 100ml of warm tap water, to ensure that the water drains. If the blockage is still present, use a suitable “refrigerator drain cleaning tool”, and flush with approximately 100ml of warm tap water.
NOTE: Do not flush with excessive water, this will cause the evaporator tray at the back of the appliance to overflow and cause a leak. If the problem persists please contact service.

B) Freezer compartment
Deep freezer compartment does not perform automatic defrosting in order to prevent decaying of the frozen food.
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 the 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.

Warnings!
Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.
Warning:
Do not use any copper pot, dish inside the cabinet!
Do not load any food without package!

Maintenance and cleaning

We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
Removal of door tray
• To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.
If the Condenser or Plastic Evaporator Tray (Collects the defrost water) located at the back of the product requires cleaning maintenance, please contact service.
NOTE: This is not usually required under normal operating conditions. These items are not accessible without uninstalling the product.
