Installation

Position the appliance and allow it to stand for two to three hours before it is turned on for the first time to allow the system to settle. Do not position next to any heat source e.g. cooker, boiler or in direct sunlight etc.

Allow at least 10cm of space at the top and 10 cm of space on both sides of the appliance and between the back of the appliance and the wall for adequate air circulation. The appliance is not designed for recessed installation (“building in”).

Install on a good firm level surface, and any unevenness of the floor should be corrected prior to installation, slight unevenness can be overcome by adjusting the front feet.

NOTE: If the appliance is positioned on a carpet, soft floor covering you should readjust the front feet once the appliance has had time to settle.

Use

• This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16°C and 43°C. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18°C and food spoilage may occur.
• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Wash the inside of the cabinet with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 liter of water). Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• When you use the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat control to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the normal position.
• If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 12 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT KNOB

The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the fridge, towards the upper right-hand corner. Turn the knob from the MIN position towards the higher numbers for colder temperatures. The knob can be adjusted from setting MIN, MED, MAX.

Higher settings on the knob (MAX) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance.

Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance so choose a correct setting of the temperature control knob, depending on your ambient conditions.

Set the thermostat knob to a middle position to achieve -18°C in the freezer compartment.

Please Note: If the appliance is switched off you must wait at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or re-inserting the plug into the wall outlet. This is to allow the protection device in the compressor to reset.

If the compressor fails to start correctly remove the plug and wait for 5 minutes before you try again then the compressor should restart normally.

The storage temperature may be affected by:

• The room temperature

• How often the door is opened

• How much food is stored

- Position of the appliance

When you set the correct temperature, all these factors mentioned above shall be taken into account.

SHOPPING FOR FROZEN FOOD

The appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and can freeze fresh food and store pre-frozen food. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not improve the food.

Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer.

Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in plastic bags or stored in airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and to prevent any strong odors of some foods transferring to milder ones.

To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf to avoid cross contamination.

Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the crisper.

Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf in the door.

NOTE: The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affect the temperature in the refrigerator. If required, change the thermostat temperature settings.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid them from defrosting and spoiling.

All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturer should always be followed.

When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat knob to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust it to the normal position.

The technical data mentioned in the 'Specifications' are obtained in the case that the freezing drawers are removed.

Maintenance

FRIDGE DEFROSTING

The fridge defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the compressor stops.

The defrost water is automatically routed to the drain port and into a tray placed on the top of the compressor to the rear of the appliance from which it evaporates.

Make sure the drain port on the fridge at the rear of the appliance is kept clear.

FREEZER DEFROSTING

Frost will accumulate inside the freezer depending upon the length of time during which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced.

It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal.

This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus 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.

For the removal of thin frost it is not necessary to switch off the appliance.

For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep them cold

Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is empty, and it should be carried out as quickly as possible.

An increase in temperature of frozen food packages during defrosting will shorten the storage life. Provided that the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area, they should keep for several hours. Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have thawed out

After defrosting is finished clean the inside with a solution of warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda and 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 and setting the thermostat to your normal setting.

NOISE FROM YOUR APPLIANCE

You may notice some rather unusual noises. The noises are caused by circulation of refrigerant in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your fridge.

PROLONGED OFF PERIODS

If the appliance is not in use for a long period of time, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect from the mains supply.
2. Clean and dry the inside (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').
3. Leave the door open to prevent any unpleasant smells from building up while the appliance is not in use.

NOTES FOR USE

Do clean and defrost your appliance regularly.

Do check contents of the compartments every so often.

Do store commercially prepared food in accordance with the instructions given on the packets.

Do choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean before freezing it.

Do wrap all food in food quality polythene bags or air tight containers and make sure any air is excluded.

Do Not store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your freezer. It is designed for the freezing of edible foodstuffs only.

Do Not consume food which has been frozen for an excessive length of time.

Do Not leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the appliance more costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.

Do Not use sharp objects such as knives to remove the ice from the appliance. Only use a plastic scraper.

Do Not put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down to room temperature.

Do Not put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the freezer as they may burst.

Do Not give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer as the low temperature may cause 'freezer burns' on the lips.

Do Not try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and re-frozen.
