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 ’click’ when 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.

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.
