Know your appliance

User Instructions

You will find all important information on your appliance in these User Instructions.

The instructions may slightly dependent on models.

Please read through the instructions carefully, and mark any passages which are particularly important to you. Take care of these pages, so that they are always available for reference.

Versions:

Refrigerator only

Refrigerator with ***-frozen food storage compartment.

Energy-saving tips:

Boxed-in sections of text in these User Instructions contain advice on how to save energy.

Selecting location

Dry and well-ventilated rooms are suitable. Very, cold rooms are not suitable for operation of this appliance. In a humid location, moisture will condense on the external surfaces of the appliance.

The appliance should not be located in a place which is subject to dripping water or rain.

High room temperatures, direct sunlight, or location near heating or stoves increase the power consumption and should be avoided. If it is not possible to avoid placing the appliance next to a source of heat, note that the following spacings should be maintained:

to coal or oil ovens or heaters 30 cm to electric cookers 3 cm

Where the refrigeration appliance must be placed next to a cooker, suitable insulating panels (not asbestos) can be obtained from dealers, for placing between the appliances.

Setting up & electrical connection

Please check your appliance and ensure that it is undamaged; any transport damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours of receipt.

The provided Installation Instructions advise you on how to set up and build in the appliance.

The appliance may be connected only to a properly-installed, earthed plug and/or socket. Check that the supply voltage and frequency match those given on the Rating Label (at the bottom inside the refrigerator).

Earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law. The Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage to objects or injury to persons arising from the non-observance of this requirement.

Let the appliance stand upright for at least 2 hours before connecting it up and switching on, to allow any oil which has moved during transportation to drain back down into the compressor.

Wipe the appliance interior with a damp cloth, then rub dry, before first putting food in. Advice on cleaning is given on in section "Cleaning".

Important!

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate three pin plug fitted.

Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.

Use a 13 A fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362, i. e. carries the

mark.

Always replace the fuse cover, never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green & yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol 12 or coloured green or green & yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Warning - this appliance must be earthed.

Switching on & setting temperature

Illustration ①, temperature selector A.

The selector gives stepless setting of temperature, and switches the appliance on (turn clockwise) and off.

Setting to 0—, the cooling system and the interior light are switched off.

Setting to 1, the cooling system has minimum effect (highest temperature).

Setting to medium 2-3 the cooling system gives medium temperature (see Illustration ①).

Setting to 4, the cooling system gives maximum effect (lowest temperature).

The correct setting of the temperature selector depends on how much food is in the refrigerator, how often the door is opened, and what the room temperature is. We recommend a middle setting. You will soon find out what setting suits your conditions.

Advice

During running, frost or drops of water appear in sequence on the rear panel inside the refrigerator. This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe or scrape off the water drops or frost. The rear panel is defrosted automatically. The defrost water collects in the drain channel (Illustration ⑤) and is directed to a trough over the compressor, where it evaporates.

Adjusting interior and door compartments

Fig. ③ + ④

Refrigerator compartment

Shelves 2 and 3 are height-adjustable. Removable halfshelves 3 (where fitted) allow tall containers to be stored upright.

Removing the vegetable bins: Lift lid (where fitted) and take out vegetable bins 5.

Inside door

The compartments in the inside door can be removed simply by lifting. The moveable tube holder 7 (where fitted) can be removed by pulling forward and lifting. Hook (where fitted) 8 for hanging small sausages etc.

Keeping foodstuffs

Various temperature zones are available in the refrigerator. The coldest zone is on the panel above the vegetable crispers, at the rear.

- Small quantities (1.5 kg max.) of food can be frozen and stored for a month or more in the *** compartment, where the temperature is -18°C or lower.

Important:

If the temperature where the refrigerator is located drops below +16 °C over long periods, the temperature in the *** compartment will not be low enough to store frozen food to another.

● Wherever possible, produce should be covered or packaged when in the refrigerator, to prevent drying out and the transfer of taste from one food to another.

The following foods are not suited to storage in a refrigerator:

● Sliced lemons, pineapples, onions and garlic (because of the strong smells given off).
● Bread and potatoes (they dry out).
● Half-ripe fruit and vegetables (e.g. tomatoes) will not continue to ripen.
● Bananas go bad very quickly because of their sensitivity to coldness.

Suggested food storage Fig. ③ + ④):

1 Making ice and storing frozen food (in models with *** ice compartment)
2 Cooked food, bakery products, dairy products, eggs.
3 Canned foods, drinks lying down
4 Fish, meat, sausage
5 Fruit, salad, vegetables
6 Cheese, butter
7/8, Tubes, small tins, small bottles, small sausuges etc.

Storing frozen food

(in models with *** compartment)

The allowable storage time depends on the type of food. With proprietary frozen foods, the storage time is given on the package. Defrosting or defrosted food should be used at once, or prepared (cooking, roasting) – it should never be re-frozen. Only after defrosted food has been cooked can it be re-frozen.

Making ice

(in models with *** compartment)

Fill ice tray (where fitted) 34 full with water and stand it on the floor of the *** compartment. If you require more ice capacity, you can order extra trays from your dealer.

To loosen the tray if it is frozen to the compartment floor, lever it with the handle of a spoon. Never use pointed or sharp-edged implements – this could result in damage to the cooling system. Loosen ice cubes from plastic trays by bending the tray.

With aluminium trays, hold the underside of the tray under running water.

Defrosting

Automatic defrosting occurs only in the main refrigerator compartment, not in the *** compartment (to avoid stored frozen produce defrosting also). The frost layer should be scraped off from time top time with an ice scraper (do not use pointed or sharp-edged implements).

As the ice/frost layer in the *** compartments increases, so does the electricity consumption. When the layer is about 3 mm thick the appliance should be defrosted.

Remove all food from the *** compartment (put it somewhere cool), turn the temperature selector to 0-. Mop up the defrosted water with a sponge or cloth.

Do not use any electrical heater to speed-up defrosting!

Cleaning

Always remove the plug or switch off at the socket before doing any cleaning!

If the plug/socket cannot be reached, switch off at the house fuse box/circuit breaker.

Use lude-warm water with some mild washing-up liquid added to clean the interior and the accessories. Then wipe over with a cloth soaked in clean water, followed by a dry cloth.

Do not use powder or acidic cleaners, nor chemical grease removers (they create smell).

Concerning removal of the door compartments see "Adjusting interior and door compartments".

Wipe the door seal occasionally using clean water, and dry it thoroughly.

Do not let oil or fat get on the seal.

Do not forget to switch the appliance on again at the plug/socket when cleaning is completed.

The drain channel (Illustration ⑤) in the automatically-defrosted refrigerator must be kept clear, to allow the defrost water to drain away. Clean channel and aperture carefully with the provided cleaning stick, or a similar one.

Ventilation

The slots provided for ventilation (Illustration ⑥) must not be covered. If fluff or dirt builds up on the slots, remove it with a suitable brush.

Interior light

Illustration ②

This comes on when the door is opened and goes off when it is closed. The light switch actuator is on the upper front panel (Illustration ①, see arrow).

Advice:

A built-in safety switch (not visible) switches off the interior light if it gets too warm because the door has been left open for too long. The light will operate normally again once the door has been closed for a short time.

Replacing interior light bulb

Illustration ②

If the light does not come on when the door is opened, press the actuator in a few times to see if it is working correctly (also, has the door been left open for a long time just before this, and the safety switch has operated?).

When neither of these factors seems to be the reason for the light not coming on, the bulb should be replaced.

Switch off at the plug/socket or at the fusebox.

Push tag (Illustration ②) to the left and remove the light cover downwards. Unscrew bulb. The replacement should be E 14 screw base, 220–240 V/15 Watt, pear shape. Replace the cover, making sure that it snaps into place.

Summary of tips on saving electricity

● High room temperatures, direct sunlight, or location near to a source of heat (cooker, heating) increase electricity consumption and should be avoided.
● Ensure that all apertures for inlet and outlet of ventilating air are unobstructed.
● Set the temperature selector correctly.
● Do not put warm food into the appliance.
- When defrosting frozen food, put it in the refrigerator section, so that it helps to keep the other food cool as it defrosts.
- Do not leave the door open any longer than is necessary when putting food in or taking it out.
● Ice/frost in the freezer-compartment increases the electricity consumption; defrost when the ice/frost layer reaches 3 mm thick.

Recommendations

When the appliance is not being used for a long period, switch it off by turning the temperature selector to 0 —. Clean the interior. Leave the door open (to avoid mould and smell developing inside).

Door seal

Check occasionally that the door seal is working properly. In particular, do this when the refrigerator is first installed, or when the door hinges are changed over (see Installation Instructions).

Rub talcum powder on the seal occasionally (to keep it elastic).

Faults - what to do?

The high quality and the construction in the van of technology, are a guarantee of a perfect operation.
