Operation
Before use
Fresh food refrigeration
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.
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.
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.
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.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
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.
•
Room temperature
• How often the door is opened
• How much food is stored
• Position of the appliance
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
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.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with
runners so that shelves can be positioned as
desired.
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.

The door shelves
Normal Operating Sounds
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as in the figure.
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.
CP1SIG
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.
Health and Safety Guidelines
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-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.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean the interior (see “Maintenance and
Cleaning”).
• Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing 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.
• Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
• Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.
• Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
• Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
• Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry
them with a clean towel before handling food.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allow air
to circulate around each item.
• Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work surface
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in
between.
• 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.
5
Defrosting
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located below the appliance, where it
evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing and
dripping onto the food in the fridge, periodically
clean the water discharge hole (F) situated
under the salad drawers. Use the special
cleaner provided (P) which you will find
already inserted into the discharge hole.

then replace the bulb as follows:
1. Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by
pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb
and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available
from your nearest Service Force centre).
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.
Important
Do not use abrasive products.
2. Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original
position and replacing the screw.
Periodic cleaning
The appliance is equipped with a ventilation grid.
Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation and good
working order of the appliance.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
The structure of the appliance permits cleaning of the
rear zone close to the wall, using a vacuum cleaner.
