Using the freezer  
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands  
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or  
“frost/freezer burns”.  
Before use  
Remove all securing tapes.Wash inside the appliance  
with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml  
to 0.5 litre of water).  
Important  
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell  
may linger. Dry thoroughly.  
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer  
will not be affected if the power cut is short and if  
the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the  
food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and  
must not be re-frozen .  
Quick-freezing  
For quick-freezing, push the quick freeze switch (D).  
The quick freeze control light (C) will then light up.  
The quick-freezing function accelerates the freezing  
of fresh food and, at the same time, protects  
foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.  
If this function is not ended manually, the appliance  
switches off the quick-freezing function after 52  
hours.The yellow light goes out.  
Thawing  
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in  
the fridge or at room temperature depending on the  
time available. Small food items may even be cooked  
from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.  
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw  
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as  
possible or thrown away.Alternatively, if the food is  
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it  
can be cooked and then refrozen.  
This function can be ended manually at any time by  
pressing the quick freeze switch again.The yellow  
light goes out.  
Freezing fresh food  
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the  
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat  
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must  
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.  
The 4-star compartment is suitable for long term  
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing  
fresh food.  
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to move  
the thermostat knob from the normal setting. Push  
the quick freeze switch at least 3 hours before  
loading food.  
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling  
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in  
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.  
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 4 kg. of fresh  
food.  
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for  
thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food:  
follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding  
the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers  
in the oven.  
Place the food to be frozen in the lower of the  
freezer compartment as this is the coldest part.  
To guarantee a good operation of the appliance  
during normal use, the drawers should not be  
removed.  
Defrosted cooked food must never be  
refrozen.  
Frozen food storage  
Making ice cubes  
The appliance is provided with one or more trays  
for ice-cubes trays.  
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,  
before putting the products in the compartment let  
the appliance run for at least two hours on the  
coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to  
the normal operating position.  
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to  
expand and place them in the freezer compartment.  
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight  
twist.  
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the  
manufacturer.  
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove  
the trays from the freezer.  
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it  
open longer than is absolutely necessary.  
Cold accumulators  
2 cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer;  
these increase the length of time for which food will  
keep in the event of a power failure or breakdown.  
Warning  
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in  
the freezer compartment.  
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal  
from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin  
burns.  
They must be placed in the top drawer.

Using the refrigerator  
The thermostat is valid for both freezer and  
refrigerator compartments.  
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special  
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or  
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated  
by the thermostat with 6 temperature positions and  
an “OFF” (O) position.  
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should  
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.  
Normal Operating Sounds  
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds  
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils  
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling  
Position 1 = minimum coldness  
Position 6 = maximum coldness  
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.  
plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.  
The intermediate position is usually the most  
suitable (3-4).  
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is  
being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring  
sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.  
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature  
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on  
the following factors:  
• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you  
will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts  
in and out.  
– room temperature  
– how often the door is opened  
– how much food is stored  
– position of the appliance  
Important  
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot  
weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a  
number, the cooling system may operate  
continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not  
defrost.Turning the knob to a lower number will  
cause the automatic defrosting to resume.  
Fresh food refrigeration  
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm  
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do  
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong  
flavour.  
Do not cover the shelves with any protective  
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which  
may obstruct the air circulation through them.  
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are  
some more useful hints:  
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in  
polythene bags and place on top of the salad  
crispers.  
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for  
one or two days at the most.  
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly  
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.

Movable shelves  
The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that  
the shelves can be positioned as desired .  
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie  
over the rear ones.  
D338  
Positioning the door shelves  
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,  
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.To make  
these adjustments proceed as follows:  
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the  
arrows until it comes off, then reposition as  
required.  
P R X X X  
Bottle holder  
Place the bottles (with the opening facing front) in  
the pre-positioned shelf.  
If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only  
closed bottles.  
This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to  
store previously opened bottles.  
To obtain this result, pull the shelf up so it can  
rotate upwards and be placed on the next higher  
level.  
Humidity control  
The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits  
(adjustable by means of a sliding lever), which makes  
it possible to regulate the temperature in the  
vegetable drawer(s).  
Close the slots to obtain a warmer temperature and  
greater humidity.  
Open the slots to obtain a cooler temperature and  
less humidity.

Hints andTips  
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.  
Food Storage  
To obtain the best results from your appliance,  
neither hot foods nor liquids which may  
evaporate, should be placed in the larder  
compartment.  
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the  
door from closing properly.  
• Keep the time between buying chilled food and  
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.  
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 it’s condition.  
The following guidelines should assist you.  
• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’.  
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated  
and labelled and used in date order to ensure  
that food is consumed at its best.  
Ice Cream:  
Once thawed should be discarded.  
Fruit andVegetables:  
If soft should be cooked and used up.  
Bread and Cakes:  
• 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.  
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.  
• The symbols on the drawers show different  
types of frozen goods.The numbers indicate  
storage times in months for the appropriate  
types of frozen goods.Whether the upper or  
lower value of the indicated storage time is valid  
depends on the quality of the foods and pre-  
treating before freezing.  
Small Joints:  
Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked  
dishes.  
Energy Saving Advice  
• Do not install the cabinet close to sources of  
heat, i.e. boiler or radiator.  
Chicken:  
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated  
room and make sure that the air openings of the  
cabinet are not obstructed.  
Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.  
• 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 which is to be frozen (when cool) should  
be placed in the fridge before being transferred  
to the freezer.  
• Thaw frozen food in the fridge.This will ensure  
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of  
the refrigeration unit.
