4  Before operating 
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/
freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for 
perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can 
circulate freely.
3. Clean the interior as recommended 
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket 
and switch on the electricity supply.    
When the door is open the interior 
light will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the 
compressor starts up. The liquid and 
gases sealed within the refrigeration 
system may also give rise to noise, 
whether the compressor is running or 
not which is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the 
cabinet is quite normal due to the    
manufacturing process used, so do 
not worry, it is not a defect.7. We recommend that you set the 
thermostat knob at 3 (three) and monitor 
the    temperature to ensure the appliance 
maintains desired storage temperatures    
(See section Temperature Control and 
Adjustment).
 8. Do not load the appliance immediately 
it is switched on. Wait until the correct    
storage temperature has been reached. 
We recommend that you check 
the    temperature with an accurate 
thermometer (see; Temperature Control 
and    Adjustment).
Important Note :Ice formation at the 
back is normal, do not worry. (See 
Defrosting)

5  Using your refrigerator
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat (see diagram). Settings 
may be made from 1 to 5, the coldest position.When the appliance is switched 
on for the first time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the 
average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F ).We recommend you 
set the thermostat halfway between the 1 and 5 setting and moni torto ob\
tain the 
desired temperature i. e. towards 5 you will ob tain a colder fridge temperature 
and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the 
salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal.Over ambient 
temperatures of 25°C (77°F) especially in summer turn the thermostat knob towards 
5. Under ambient temperatures of 25°C (77°F) turn the thermostat knob to a half 
way position.Frequent door opening cause higher internal temperatures, so close 
the door as soon as possible after use.In case of a temporary ice build up in the 
fridge compartment reduce the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time 
that the fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C (41 degrees F). Once the ice 
build up disappears and  the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then 
you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.
SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
Arrangement Examples (See  diagram).
1. To freeze fresh food, frozen food, rapid cooling of beverages,
       making ice cubes. 
2. Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy products, 
3. Meat, sausages, cold cuts, cans.
4 .Fruit, vegetables, salads.
5. Tubes, small bottles and cans.
6. Butter, cheese, dairy products.. 
7. Beverages, large bottles.
The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the best 
results and storage hygiene.
1. The freezer compartment is  
 rated and suitable for the freezing and storage of 
pre frozen food. The recommendation  for  
 storage as stated on the food packaging 
should be observed at all times.
2. The fridge is for the short term storage of fresh food and drinks.   \
  
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers and are b\
est  placed on 
either of the removable shelves.
  4. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and v\
egetables  should be 
cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.

  5. Bottles can be placed in the door 
section.
  6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene 
bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not 
allow to come into contact with cooked 
food to avoid contamination. For safety, 
only store raw meat for two to three days.
  7. Shelves incorporate rear stops and 
tilting for storing bottles. Lift shelf to clear  
grooves when adjusting.
  8. To tilt a shelf place the back of the 
shelf one level below the front of the shelf. 
To remove a tilted shelf, first release the 
back off the grooves and then pull it.
  9. Keep the food packed, wrapped  or 
covered. Allow hot food and beverages 
to cool before placing them in the fridge. 
Do not store explosive substances in the 
refrigerator. High proof alcohol must be 
stored upright in sealed containers. Left 
over canned food should not be stored in 
the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and 
products such as flavoured water ices 
should not be consumed too cold.
11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer 
damage if kept at temperatures near 0   degrees centigrade. Therefore wrap pineapples, 
melon, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar 
produce in polythene bags.
12. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, dairy 
compartments, drawers, baskets trays, flaps, 
bottle grippers are all removable.
13. Always wrap food using a suitable 
packaging material before storing in your       
appliance to avoid contact with the appliance 
surface and food remains for hygiene reasons.
DEFROSTING
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge defrosts automatically. 
The defrosting water runs to the drain tube 
via a collection channel and is evaporated 
in a special container at the back of the 
appliance
During defrosting, water droplets may form 
at the back of the fridge where a concealed 
evaporator is located. Some droplets may 
remain on the liner and refreeze when 
defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed 
or sharp-edged objects such as knives or 
forks 
to remove the droplets  which have 
refrozen.
  
						

							EN15
If, at any time, the defrost water does 
not drain from the collection channel, 
check that no food particles have 
blocked the drain tube. The drain tube 
can be cleared by pushing the special 
plastic plunger provided down the 
drain tube.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrost twice a year or when a frost 
layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has 
formed.
To start defrosting procedure switch off 
the appliance at the socket outlet and 
pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several 
layers of newspaper and stored in a 
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder). 
Containers full of warm water may be 
placed carefully in the freezer to speed 
up the defrosting.
