Control Panel
The appliance controls are located in the top panel inside the refrigerator compartment.
Thermostat Control
The freezer and fridge thermostats control the temperature inside the freezer and refrigerator respectively.
The Freezer Temperature Control (Control panel 1)
The freezer temperature control, regulates the temperature within the freezer compartment. A change in the control setting in the freezer compartment could affect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment under certain circumstances.
7 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
- Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored - Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature settings, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilise before making further changes.
The Fridge Temperature Control (Control panel 6)
The fridge temperature control regulates the temperature within the fridge compartment, by regulating the cold airflow. An intermediate setting is usually the most suitable, although some experimentation may be necessary to obtain the correct temperature.
5 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
Standby
Turn the control knob to the standby position if you wish to switch off the fridge, but leave the freezer in operation (for example, when on holiday). Leave the doors shut when in Standby operation.

If either of the doors are left open, the door alarm will sound and the alarm button will flash red. Press the alarm button to switch off the alarm, the light will stop flashing but will remain red. To switch off the alarm and the light shut the doors.
Temperature Alarm (Control panel 3)
If the internal temperature inside the freezer appliance is too high for the safe storage of frozen food, an alarm will sound and the temperature alarm button light will start to flash. The temperature may rise for the following reasons:
• The doors have been left open
• There has been a power failure
- A large quantity of food has been added to the appliance.
- The thermostat controls may be incorrectly set.
- There is a fault.
To switch off the alarm, press the alarm button. The audible signal will stop. The light will stop flashing, but will remain on until the internal temperature has reached the correct storage temperature for frozen food.
Quick Freeze Button (Control panel 4)
Press the fast freeze button approximately 3 hours before freezing fresh food. Once the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze function by pressing the fast freeze button. The fast freeze function will automatically switch off after 36 hours.
Using the Appliance
This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for storage of edible foodstuffs.
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 10^ C ( 50^ F) and 32^ C ( 90^ F).
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance may not operate correctly.
Before Use
Remove all transit packaging.
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing alcohol.
Starting the Appliance
- Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
- Insert plug into mains socket. Within 20 seconds the electronics carry out a system test and switch the appliance on. The ON/OFF button lights up in green, the interior lighting comes on and the appliance starts working.
Starting up when the appliance is switched off:
Press the ON/OFF button continuously for 3 seconds. The appliance will start operating after a 4 minute delay and the internal light will switch on. The ON/OFF button will illuminate.
The temperature alarm (a beeping sound) may come on during the start up phase. If this happens push the temperature alarm button.
- Set the thermostat controls for the fridge and freezer compartments. See Control Panel section.
- To ensure safe food storage, allow the appliance to operate with the doors closed for at least 3 hours, before loading with food.
Freezer Compartment
The freezer will store frozen food at -18^ C or colder allowing for long-term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.
Freezing Fresh Food
The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate and in the technical specifications section of this instruction book.
When freezing fresh foods, press the fast freeze button 3 hours before placing the food into the freezer compartment.
When the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze function. The fast freeze function automatically switches off after 36 hours..
The Temperature alarm may sound if a lot of new food is put into the freezer, due to a rise in temperature. The alarm will switch off automatically, as the freezer temperature drops. Push the alarm button to switch off the audible signal.
Frozen Food storage
The freezer will store frozen food at -18^ C or colder allowing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.
Pre packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the manufacturers instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should be put in the freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for long-term storage which generally means up to 3 months but the length of the time can vary and it is important to follow the recommended times shown on packets of commercially frozen food.
Refrigerator Compartment
This compartment is designed to store drinks and fresh food. The inner temperature is normally uniform and is kept cool by cold circulating air. Try to avoid putting food products flush against the air vents at the back of the fridge as this could cause the foods to freeze.
Fresh Compartment
The temperature is kept typically at 1-2 degrees lower than the average temperature in the fridge. Use the compartment for foods that are marked typically for storage at 0-5°C for longer preservation. Adjusting the fridge temperature to cooler or warmer affects the chiller temperature in the same way. Avoid stacking large amounts of warm food on top of already cold food, as this will raise the temperature of the food previously stored in the fresh box. Do not use the fresh box, as a zone for rapid cooling at it is not designed for this.
Food Storage Energy Saving Advice
- Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
- Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet are not obstructed.
- Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.
- Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge or freezer.
- Food that is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.
- Do not put any hot food into the fridge or freezer.
- Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit.
- 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 switch on unnecessarily often.
- Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
- To obtain the best results from your appliance, neither hot foods nor liquids, which may evaporate should be placed in the larder compartment.
- 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 immediately.
- Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
- Do not push food together too much; try to allow air to circulate around each item.
- Do not store food uncovered.
-
Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight containers before putting it into the fridge freezer.
-
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labeled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.
- Remove suspect food from your fridge freezer and clean, refer to 'Maintenance and Cleaning'.
- Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food
- Food and drinks, which have a strong odor, may affect other foods and drinks if not stored correctly.
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 should rise do not refreeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you.
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruit and Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up.
Bread and 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 re-frozen providing there are ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken:
Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasive products.
There may be sharp edges on the under-side of the product so care should be taken when cleaning.
Ensure the vents at the back of the appliance are clear of dust and debris etc.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml 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.
Cleaning the Condenser
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the rear of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
