Suggested arrangement of food in the appliance
Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage:
- The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.
-
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. -
Dairy products should be stored in the coldest places in the fridge compartment.
-
Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight containers.
-
Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be stored in the vegetable drawers.
-
Bottles can be kept in the door shelves or on the bottle shelf.
- To store fresh meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the coldest place in the fridge compartment. Dont let meat juice from fresh meat come into contact with other foods. For safety, only store fresh meat for two to three days.
- For maximum efficiency, the removable shelves should not be covered with paper or ot materials to allow free circulation of cool air.
- Do not keep vegetable oil on the door shelves. Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered. Leftover canned food should not be stored in the can.
- To take out the baskets from the freezer compartment please proceed as in Fig. 9.
Temperature control and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting knob (Fig. 5) and may be set at any position between 1 and 5 (the coldest position).
The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C (+41°F).
Therefore adjust the thermostat control to obtain the desired temperature. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as vegetable drawer and top part of the cabinet) which is quite normal. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember to read off the thermometer very quickly as the temperature on the thermometer will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember that each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure that it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed.
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check that:
- The feest have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
- The interior is dry and the air can circulate freely at the back of appliance.
- The interior is clean as recommended in the "Cleaning and care" section.
- The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on.
Avoid unintentional disconnection by placing sticky tape on the switch.
And note that:
- You will hear a noise as the compressor starts. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some noise, whether the compressor is running or not. This is quite normal.
- Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is not a defect.
- We recommend setting the thermostat control midway and monitor that the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains the desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
- Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend checking the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see the "Temperature control and adjustment" section).
- Remember to remove all packing materials - including transportation security in the form of tape, styrofoam, cardboard, etc. within the enclosure. It is also important to remove any styrofoam / cardboard in the evaporator tray on the back of the closet, otherwise there is a risk that water is leaking on the floor.
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food. If there is an electrical cut, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the cut lasts for less than 18 hrs. If the cut 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.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the compressor machine to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the fridge compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the setting the thermostat control at the medium position.
Small quantities of food up to 12 kg (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting the temperature control knob.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The thawed water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance (Fig. 6).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where a 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 or forks to remove the droplets which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleaned with a cotton bud or similar instrument.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor (Fig. 7).
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin.
Defrost the appliance twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm 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. a fridge or a larder).
Containers 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 or forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. Sponge out the defrost water collected at the bottom of the freezer compartment. After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Fig. 8). Insert the plug into the socket and switch on the electricity supply.
How to reposition the doors
Proceed in numerical order (Fig. 10).
Replacing the interior light bulb
To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your Authorised Service.
The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.
The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20°C.

Do's and don'ts
Do clean your appliance regularly (See "Defrosting")
Do keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to "Best Before" and "Use by" etc. dates.
Do defrost food in the fridge compartment.
Don't store bananas in your fridge compartment.
Don't cover the shelves with any protective materials which may obstruct air circulation.
Don't store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your appliance. It has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
Don't leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the appliance more costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.
Don't use sharp edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice.
Don't exceed the maximum freezing loads when freezing fresh food.
Don't try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen.
Energy consumption
Maximum frozen food storage volume is achieved without using the middle drawer and the upper shelf cover provided in the freezer compartment. Energy consumption of your appliance is based on the freezer compartment being loaded without the use of the middle drawer and upper shelf cover.
Practical advice concerning the reduction of the electricity consumption
- Make sure that the appliance is located in well-ventilated areas, far from any heat source (cooker, radiator, etc.). At the same time, the appliance should be kept away from sunlight.
- Make sure that the purchased refrigerated/frozen food is placed in the appliance as soon as possible, especially during summertime. It is recommended to use thermal insulated bags to transport the food.
- We advise you to place frozen food in a vessel in the refrigerator compartment when the food has to thaw. In this way you avoid that the water resulting from the thawing leaks into the refrigerator compartment. We recommend you to start the thawing at least 24 hours before the use of the frozen food.
- Do not leave the door of the appliance open more than necessary and make sure to close it properly after use.
Information concerning the noise and the vibrations which might appear during the operation of the appliance
