The recommendation for
stated on the food packaging should be observed
at all times.
3. Dairy products should be stored in the special
compartment provided in the door liner.
In order to freeze fresh food it is recommended to
pack the products in aluminium or plastic sheet,
cool them in the fresh food compartment and store
them on the freezer compartment shelf.
It is preferable that the shelf be fixed in the upper
side of the freezer compartment.
4. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight
containers.
5. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the
shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned
and stored in the crispers.
6. Bottles can be kept in the door section.
7. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and
place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into
contact with cooked food, to avoid contamination.
For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
8. For maximum efficiency, the removable shelves
should not be covered with paper or other
materials to allow free circulation of cool air.
9. Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves. Keep
the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food
and beverages to cool before refrigerating. Leftover
canned food should not be stored in the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products
such as flavoured water ices should not be
consumed too cold.
11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if
kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap
pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
similar produce in polythene bags.
12. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright in
tightly closed containers. Never store products that
contain an inflammable propellant gas (e.g. cream
dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive
substances. These are an explosion hazard.

Temperature control and adjustment

Operating temperatures are controlled by the
thermostat knob and may be set at any position
between 1 and 5 (the coldest position).
If the thermostat knob is in position "0" the
appliance is off. In this case neither the lamp for
inside lighting will light. The average temperature
inside the fridge should be around +5°C (+41°F).
Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain the
desired temperature. Some sections of the fridge
may be cooler or warmer (such as salad crisper
and top part of the cabinet) which is quite normal.
We recommend that you check the temperature
periodically with a thermometer to ensure that the
cabinet is kept to this temperature.

Instruction for use
Frequent door openings cause internal
temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to close the
door as soon as possible after use.

Before operating

Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at
the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under
"Cleaning and care."
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket
and the electricity is switched on. When the door is
open the interior light will come on.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up.
The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also make some (noise), whether the
compressor is running or not. This is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite
normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is
not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the thermostat knob
midway and monitor the temperature to ensure the
appliance maintains desired storage temperatures
(See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We recommend
checking the temperature with an accurate
thermometer (see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).

Storing frozen food

Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of
commercially frozen foods and also can be used to
freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door.
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 16 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either eaten
immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

Freezing fresh food

Please observe the following instructions to obtain
the best results. Do not freeze too large a quantity
at any one time. The quality of the food is best
preserved when it is frozen right through to the
core as quickly as possible. Do not exceed the
freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h. Placing
warm food into the freezer compartment causes
the refrigeration machine to operate continously
until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily
lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration
compartment. When freezing fresh food, keep the
thermostat knob at medium position.
