Storage time and temperature of
foods
The enclosed charts at the end of the instruction book
give information about storage time in the frozen and
the fresh food compartment.
The storage times quoted are intended as a guide
only.
How to use the four-star frozen
food compartment
The frozen food compartment is separated from the
fresh food compartment.
Place the food to be frozen into this compartment.
Depending on the position of the thermostatic control
knob and the temperature in the compartment
(-18 °C or lower), frozen food can be stored here.
Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with
foods that are already frozen.
How to make ice cubes
Fill the supplied ice cube tray ¾ full with water and
place in the freezer compartment. Turning up the
thermostat control will speed up the freezing process,
but remember to turn the thermostat control back to
its original position.
To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its
length.
Do not use sharp or pointed items to remove a frozen
ice cube tray from the freezer compartment.
Storage Shelves
The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are
adjustable to allow storage of large items.
The shelves can be re-arranged by opening the door
to 90°.
The door shelves are also adjustable.
To allow the air to circulate within the fridge
compartment do not cover the wire shelves
with paper or trays.

Hints & Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of
heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or
tubing.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
appliance are not obstructed.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer compartment.
A thermostat controls the compressor and you will
hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and
out.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should
be placed in the fridge compartment before
being transferred to the freezer compartment.
Food Storage
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 often switch on unnecessarily.
To obtain the best performance from your appliance:
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
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 compartment immediately.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the
temperature within your freezer compartment
should rise, do not refreeze the food without
checking its condition. The following guidelines
should assist you:
Do not push food together too much.
Do not store uncovered food.
Ensure that food placed in the freezer compartment
is dated and labelled and used in date order to
ensure that food is consumed at its best.
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and
used up.
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,
salt reduces the storage time.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up
quickly.
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airtight seal.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate
that the product has not been kept at a suitable
temperature and that it may have lost its original
quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen,
it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never
exceed the storage times indicated by the
manufacturer.
refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing
there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be
refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a
fresh dish.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Before any maintenance of cleaning work is
carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from
the ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products containing
bleach or alcohol.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean
to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust
will affect the performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
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 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 salad
drawer(s). Use the special cleaner provided which
you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes
progressively covered with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the
cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever
the thickness of the frost exceeds 6 mm (1/4”).
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
1. Remove any food from inside the ****-star
compartment, wrap it in several sheets of
newspaper and store in a cool dry place.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to position << 0 >>. To
accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water
inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard
underneath the bowl as protection).
3. Remove any loose pieces of ice as soon as possible.
4. When defrosting is completed, clean and dry
thoroughly.
10
Turn the thermostat knob to a medium position to
restart the appliance.
After letting the appliance run for at least half an
hour replace the previously removed food into the
**** -star compartment.
When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the
foods from the inner door and the refrigerator
compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during
defrosting may shorten their storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from
the evaporator as you could damage it beyond repair.
Changing the Light Bulb
Should the light fail to work you can change it as below:
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Remove the lamp cover retaining screws, then take
the lamp cover off in the direction of the arrow and the
bulb can be changed. (Type of the bulb: 230 V, 15 W,
E 14 thread)
After changing the bulb replace the lamp cover, and
retaining screws and reconnect the appliance to the
electricity supply.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the
food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to
prevent unpleasant smells.
