OPERATION

Before using

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 and the

freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6

temperature positions and an ÒOFFÓ (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most

suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature

inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the

following factors:
Ð room temperature
Ð how often the door is opened
Ð how much food is stored
Ð position of the appliance

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.

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.

Frozen food storage

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.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in

the freezer compartment.
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

Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit
stated on the side of the upper section (where

applicable).

Caution

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 .
DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE

REFROZEN.

If the appliance is fixed to the side of the kitchen unit,

simply slacken the screws in fixing brackets (D),

move the brackets as shown in the figure and re-

tighten the screws.
Then fit cover (E).

PR168

PR167/1

Should adjustment of the furniture door be

necessary, use the clearance of slots as required.
At the end of operations, it is necessary to check if

the door of the furniture closes properly.

Fix cover (D) on guide (B) until it clips into place.

D734

After completion of the door reversing operation,

check that the door gasket adheres to the

cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in

Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the

cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of

the gasket or accelerate this process by heating

up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a

low setting.
