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
could obstruct the air circulation.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry):
wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad
bin.
Operation
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). Do not use soap or
detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat control knob with 6 temperature
positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness 
Position 6 = maximum coldness 
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
•Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
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.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature,
turn the thermostat knob to a higher number,
however you should turn the setting lower
occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.
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 bin.
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.
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 (see fig.).
D338
The door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as figure.
 
						

							5
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.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and
out.
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and
the bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in
the director of the arrows, then refitting them in
position.
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pr\
e-prepared foods.
This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and
storage of food is even more important than ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure that
the food in your home is in as perfect condition
as possible.
• Keep the time between buying chilled food andplacing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get
down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
• Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
• Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food
in a cool place in order that it can then be placed in
the refrigerator as soon as possible).
• Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in separate containers. Take care not to let the meat
juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip,
remove everything and clean thoroughly.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean the interior (see “Maintenance and
Cleaning”).• Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
• Store eggs in the egg rack provided in therefrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.
• Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
• Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
• Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in
between.
Health and Safety Guidelines
 
						

							Defrosting
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.
Important
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 salad bin. Use the special cleaner
provided which you will find already inserted into
the discharge hole.
D037
Changing the light bulb
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the
appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply,
then replace the bulb as follows:
1. Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by
pressing as shown in the figure.
2. Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new 15
watt bulb (available from your nearest Service
Force Centre).
3. Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original
position and replacing the screw.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods
and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to
prevent unpleasant smells.
D411
Maintenance and Cleaning
Warning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work
is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance
from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Important
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be carried
out by authorised technicians.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING
PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE
INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE AND  LEAVE A STRONG  SMELL. Important
Do not use abrasive products.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular
intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never
obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.
Once or twice a year remove the ventilation grill and
dust the air channels at the base of the appliance
with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched
OFF. An accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.

Warning
IF YOU ARE  DISCARDING AN  OLD
APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH
ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT
IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT
YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED
INSIDE.
Depending upon the position which you choose for
your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in
which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions
under “Door reversal”.
Positioning
The appliance should only be installed at a location
where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate classification indicated on the rating plate,
which is located on the inside left of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient
temperature is correct for each climate classification.
SN +10°C   to   +32°C
ST +18°C   to   +38°C
Installation
The appliance should be located in a dry
atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from
continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not
next to a boiler or radiator or in a very cold room e.g.
an outhouse. If these temperatures are exceeded i.e.
warmer or colder, then the appliance may not
operate correctly.
For building-in and door reversal instructions please
refer to the relevant instructions on the following
pages.
ImportantIt must
be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the mains power supply; the plug must
therefore be easily accessible after installation.
