OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER 1. Ensure that the appliance has been installed as recommended and that it

is level. 2. Clean the inside of the fridge and freezer compartments (see ‘Care and

Maintenance’) 3. Ensure that the appliance has been left for a minimum of 2 hours before

switching on the power, to allow the refrigeration system to stabilise. 4. Insert the plug into a socket and switch on the supply. 5. Run the appliance for 2 – 3 hours to allow the compartment to get down to

temperature, before placing food in the freezer compartment. Caution: When the compressor first starts up it may produce some background noise. This is normal and will reduce as the cooling system operates. CONTROL PANEL

Daily Use � Do not put hot food into the fridge. � Do not place food products directly against the rear wall. � Do not pack food close together as this prevents air circulating. � Do not set the fridge temperature lower than necessary. � Cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. � Meat should be stored in sealed plastic bags and placed on the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer. � Cooked food and cold dishes should be covered and stored on any shelf. � Vegetables should be cleaned and stored in one of the drawers. � Butter and cheese should be stored in sealed containers or wrapped in

aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible. � Milk bottles should have a cap and be stored in the door balconies. � Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the fridge unless

in a fully sealed container. FREEZER COMPARTMENT Daily Use � The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and for storing

frozen food. � The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is 3kg. � Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as the

pressure in the container may cause it to explode. � Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight from the freezer. � Store pre-frozen food as soon as possible after purchasing. � Ensure that the freezer door is always securely closed and only opened for

as short a time as possible. � It is recommended that dates are put on the food packages so that the

storage time can be monitored. � Ice cubes can be made in the ice tray provided. � Ensure that pre-frozen food is still frozen when it is stored in the freezer. � Cooked food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before placing

in the freezer. � Food should be stored in freezer bags or freezer proof containers. � Distribute fresh food evenly in the compartment so that air can circulate. � Do not re-freeze food that has thawed out, unless you cook it again to kill

off harmful bacteria. � Reseal packs properly after removing items. This will help prevent the

items from drying out and frost building up on any remaining food. � Ensure that the seal is kept clean and that a good seal forms when the

door is closed.

For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including the interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. Cleaning Your Fridge Freezer � Note: Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts. e.g.

lemon juice or the juice from orange peel, butyric acid or cleansers that contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts.

� Do not use any abrasive cleaners. � Wash the inside compartments and accessories with warm water and a

mild detergent solution. � The outside of the appliance can be cleaned with a damp cloth containing

mild detergent and warm water. � Thoroughly dry the interior and exterior of the appliance. � Ensure that the rubber seals on the doors are

cleaned regularly, so that a good seal is maintained and the appliance runs efficiently.

� To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment. Use a pipe cleaner to clean the hole as indicated below.

Replacing the Lamp WARNING: Turn off the supply and unplug the appliance before replacing the lamp. 1. Turn off the mains supply and unplug

the appliance. 2. Remove the screw from the lamp cover. 3. Remove the lamp cover. 4. Unscrew the lamp. 5. Fit the new lamp (Max 15W) 6. Refit the lamp cover and screw. 7. Plug in the appliance and switch on the

mains supply. Select the required mode or temperature setting.

Defrosting Your Freezer Over time frost will build inside the freezer compartment. At least once a year the freezer will need to be defrosted to ensure that the freezer is working efficiently. Defrosting is better to be done when the stock of frozen food is low. WARNING: Turn off the supply and unplug the appliance before defrosting the freezer. � Remove all frozen food from the freezer compartment and place it in a

cooler. Wrapping the food in newspaper will help to keep it frozen. � Switch off the mains and unplug the appliance. � Place a container under appliance to collect the defrost water. � Carefully remove the ice layer with an ice scraper. Do not use sharp metal

tools. � Leave the door open to allow the ice to thaw. � Warm (not boiling) water can be poured onto the ice to speed up the

defrosting process. � Once all the water has drained out, clean and thoroughly dry the freezer

compartment. � Plug in the appliance and switch on the mains supply. � Run the freezer for at least an hour before returning the frozen food to the

compartment.

11

Power Failure � If the mains power should go off, avoid opening the doors so that the

interior remains as cool as possible. � The food inside the freezer should remain frozen as long as the power is

off for less than 24 hours. � If the power is due to be off for more than 24 hours then the frozen food

should be quickly moved to another freezer. CUSTOMER SERVICE If you have a problem with your appliance please check the troubleshooting guide below, before calling for a Service Engineer.
