OPERATION
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit
Before using
stated on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Caution
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
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 .
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator and the
freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6
temperature positions and an “OFF” (O) position.
DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE
REFROZEN.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Frozen food storage
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).
When first starting-up or after a period of use, before
putting the products in the freezer compartment let
the appliance run for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the
normal opertion position.
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:
–
–
–
–
room temperature
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
how often the door is opened
how much food is stored
position of the appliance
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
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.
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
“frost/freezer burns”.
The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting
when freezing fresh food.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 4 kg. of fresh
food.
Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
If large quantities of food are to be stored , remove
all drawers and baskets from the appliance and
place food on cooling shelves.
4
Thawing
Fresh food refrigeration
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.
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.
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.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
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.
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry or chicken):
wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad
crispers.
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.
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.
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.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
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
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for
ice-cubes trays.
plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand
and place them in the freezer compartment.
•
•
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring
sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight
twist.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you
will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in
and out.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove
the trays from the freezer.
5
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired .
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.
D338
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height. To do this
proceed as shown in the diagram.
The top shelf can be removed for easier cleaning.
Freezing Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.Whether the upper or lower
value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.

HINTS AND TIPS
Food Storage
In the Event of a Power Failure
•
To obtain the best results from your appliance,
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.
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 it’s condition.
•
•
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
The following guidelines should assist you.
Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
Ice Cream:
Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruit and Vegetables:
•
•
Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’.
If soft should be cooked and used up.
Bread and Cakes:
•
•
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.
Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish:
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.
Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes:
i.e. casseroles, should be refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat:
Energy Saving Advice
•
Can be re-frozen providing there are ice crystals
remaining within them.
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of
heat, i.e. boiler or radiator.
Small Joints:
•
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
cabinet are not obstructed.
Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked
dishes.
•
•
•
•
•
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.
Chicken:
Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.
Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge or
freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be
placed in the fridge before being transferred to
the freezer.
Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit.
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.
•
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.

with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure, as an
accumulation of dust will affect the performance of
the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
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.
PR259
D037
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 fruit and
vegetable drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.
8
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.
Freezer
When the frost has reached a thickness of up to
4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper
provided with the appliance. During this operation it
is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from
the mains and remove the food. Never use metal
tools for this operation.
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)
proceed as follows:
-
-
-
turn the thermostat control knob to the «OFF»
position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the
mains.
Remove any food from inside the freezer and
fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and
