OPERATION  
Before using  
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the  
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of  
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).  
Place the food to be frozen on the shelf of the  
freezer as this is the coldest part.  
Important  
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may  
linger. Dry thoroughly.  
In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The  
food in the freezer will not be affected if the power  
cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food  
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must  
not be re-frozen.  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated  
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and  
one «OFF» (O) position.  
Storage of frozen food  
When first starting-up or after a period of use, before  
putting the products in the freezer compartment let  
the appliance run for at least two hours on the  
coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the  
normal opertion position.  
Position 1 = minimum coldness  
Position 6 = maximum coldness  
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.  
The intermediate position is usually the most  
suitable (3-4).  
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the  
manufacturer.  
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature  
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the  
following factors:  
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it  
open longer than is absolutely necessary.  
– room temperature  
Important  
– how often the door is opened  
– how much food is stored  
– position of the appliance  
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in  
the freezer compartment.  
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal  
from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin  
burns.  
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.  
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands  
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or  
“frost/freezer burns”.  
The freezer compartment  
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for  
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing  
fresh foods.  
Freezing fresh food  
To freeze fresh foods it is necessary to change the  
setting of the thermostat knob.  
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the  
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember  
that, in this condition the refrigerator compartment  
temperature might drop below 0° C.  
If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer  
setting.  
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 3 kg. of fresh  
food.

Thawing  
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.  
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.  
Do not cover the shelves with any protective  
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which  
may obstruct the air circulation through them.  
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.  
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are  
some more useful hints:  
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.  
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild poultry): wrap  
in polythene bags and place on top of the salad  
drawer.  
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for  
one or two days at the most.  
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling  
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in  
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.  
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly  
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad drawers.  
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing  
any type of frozen food: follow the oven instructions,  
particularly regarding the placement of aluminium  
wrapping or containers in the oven.  
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.  
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be  
stored in the bottle rack on the door.  
Defrosted cooked food must never be  
refrozen.  
Making ice cubes  
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for  
ice-cubes trays.  
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 use sharp or metallic instruments to remove  
the trays from the freezer.

Movable shelves  
The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that  
shelves can be positioned as desired.  
D040  
Positioning the door shelves  
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,  
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.  
To do this proceed as shown in the diagram:  
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows  
until it comes free, then reposition as required.

HINTS AND TIPS  
Energy Saving Advice  
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  
plate/evaporator.  
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.  
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is  
being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring  
sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.  
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by  
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages  
before placing them in the freezer.  
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you  
will hear a faint clickwhen the thermostat cuts in  
and out.  
Always leave warm food to cool down to room  
temperature before placing in the fridge.  
Food Storage  
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be  
placed in the fridge before being transferred to  
the freezer.  
To obtain the best performance from your fridge-  
freezer  
Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure  
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of  
the refrigeration unit.  
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.  
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.  
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.  
Keep the time between buying chilled food and  
placing it in your refrigerator as short as possible.  
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the  
door from closing properly.  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow  
air to circulate around each item.  
In the Event of a Power Failure  
Do not store food uncovered.  
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:  
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.  
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean, refer to Maintenance and Cleaning.  
Ice-cream: Once thawed should be discarded.  
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,  
salt reduces the storage time.  
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and  
used up.  
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing  
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and  
provide an airtight seal .  
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.  
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up  
quickly.  
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.  
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.

is recommended that the outer casing of this  
appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a  
little washing-up liquid added.  
Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original  
position and replacing the screw.  
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance  
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity  
consumption.  
Defrosting  
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched  
OFF.  
Refrigerator  
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the  
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the  
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance  
above the compressor, where it evaporates.  
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)  
and the compressor at the back of the appliance,  
with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure.  
PR259  
D037  
Important  
When the appliance is not in use  
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 fruit and  
vegetable drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided  
which you will find already inserted into the  
discharge hole.  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all  
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar  
to prevent unpleasant smells.

Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy  
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before  
replacing.  
Freezer  
When the frost has reached a thickness of up to  
4mm it can be removed using a plastic scraper.  
During this operation it is not necessary to  
disconnect the appliance from the mains and remove  
the food. Never use metal tools for this operation.  
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)  
proceed as follows:  
-
turn the thermostat dial to the «OFF» position (O)  
or disconnect the appliance from the mains.  
-
Remove any food from inside the freezer and  
fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and  
store in a cool,dry place.  
-
-
-
Leave the door open.  
Clean and dry thoroughly.  
Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset  
the thermostat to a functioning position.  
-
After letting the appliance run for a least half an  
hour, replace the previously removed food into  
the compartment.  
Important  
When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also  
controlled by the thermostat and will not be  
operational during this period. A temperature rise of  
the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may  
shorten their safe storage life.
