OPERATION
Before using
Important
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
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.
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
Storage of frozen food
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and
one ÇOFFÈ (O) position.
When first starting-up or after a period 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
opertion position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
Warning
Ð room temperature
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ð how often the door is opened
Ð how much food is stored
Ð position of the appliance
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin
burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.
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.
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 not 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 2 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:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry or
chicken): wrap in polythene bags and place on top
of the salad crispers.
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.
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 crispers.
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.
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.
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.
Dual purpose meat box
The meat box can also be used as a salad crisper.
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 are equipped with
runners so that shelves can be positioned as
desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.
D338
Positioning the inner 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 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 ÕclickÕ 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.
