Storage time and temperature of foods

The enclosed charts at the end of the instruction book give information about storage time in the frozen and the fresh food compartment.

The storage times quoted are intended as a guide only.

How to use the four-star frozen food compartment

The frozen food compartment is separated from the fresh food compartment.

Place the food to be frozen into this compartment.

Depending on the position of the thermostatic control knob and the temperature in the compartment (-18 °C or lower), frozen food can be stored here.

Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with foods that are already frozen.

How to make ice cubes

Fill the supplied ice cube tray 34 full with water and place in the freezer compartment. Turning up the thermostat control will speed up the freezing process, but remember to turn the thermostat control back to its original position.

To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length.

Do not use sharp or pointed items to remove a frozen ice cube tray from the freezer compartment.

Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow storage of large items.

The shelves can be re-arranged by opening the door to 90°.

The door shelves are also adjustable.

To allow the air to circulate within the fridge compartment do not cover the wire shelves with paper or trays.

i Hints & Tips

Normal Operating Sounds

- You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing.

- 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.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your appliance:

- Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.

- Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer compartment immediately.

- Do not push food together too much.

• Do not store uncovered food.

- Ensure that food placed in the freezer compartment is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.

- Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time.

- Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal.

- Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated by the manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

- Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator.

- Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.

- Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer compartment.

- Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge compartment before being transferred to the freezer compartment.

- Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to often switch on unnecessarily.

- Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer compartment should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you:

Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.

Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be refrozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a fresh dish.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Before any maintenance of cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.

Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

Defrosting

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located below the appliance, where it evaporates.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator compartment behind the salad drawer(s). Use the special cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.

While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes progressively covered with frost.

This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 6 mm (1/4").

To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:

1. Remove any food from inside the ****-star compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to position << 0 >>. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard underneath the bowl as protection).
3. Remove any loose pieces of ice as soon as possible.
4. When defrosting is completed, clean and dry thoroughly.

Turn the thermostat knob to a medium position to restart the appliance.

After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour replace the previously removed food into the **** -star compartment.

When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the foods from the inner door and the refrigerator compartment.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it beyond repair.

Changing the Light Bulb

Should the light fail to work you can change it as below:

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

Remove the lamp cover retaining screws, then take the lamp cover off in the direction of the arrow and the bulb can be changed. (Type of the bulb: 230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)

After changing the bulb replace the lamp cover, and retaining screws and reconnect the appliance to the electricity supply.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

MAX 15 W
