OPERATION
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appli-
ance 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.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) position.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally
hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too
high a number, the cooling system may
operate continuously and the fridge cooling
plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a
lower number will cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
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.

Fresh food refrigeration
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.
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:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb, chicken or poultry): wrap
in polythene bags and place on top of the salad bin.
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 bin.
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.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with run-
ners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
D040
The door shelves
Depending on your requirements, the movable stor-
age shelf on the door can be moved sideways.
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and
the bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in the
directon of the arrows, then refitting them in position.
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 evaporator.
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.

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 super-
market 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 refrig-
erator door. Discard any broken or chipped eggs.
■
■
■
Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
■
■
■
Always wash your hands with soapy water and
dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as pos-
sible.
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross conta-
mination by not using the same work surface or
knife, without washing them thoroughly in
between.
Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
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 dis-
charge hole (F) situated under the salad
bins. Use the special cleaner provided (P)
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.
