BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR Your new appliance is a combined static refrigerator and ventilated (no frost) freezer and is for domestic use only. The freezer compartment uses the ventilated (No Frost) system, the great advantage of which being that there is no formation whatever of ice and frost on the surfaces of any component: cold is produced by an evaporator and distributed around the compartments by a fan.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS • • • • • • • Use the refrigerator compartment only for storing fresh food and beverages and use the freezer compartment only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes. Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance. Do not store liquids in glass containers in the freezer compartment - danger of bursting. Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer compartment - risk of “cold” burns.
HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT To adjust the temperature, follow the instructions in the accompanying chart. To switch off the refrigerator compartment: • • Store liquids in closed containers. Storing vegetables with a high water content can cause condensation to form in the crisper drawer; this will not affect the correct operation of the appliance. Press the refrigerator compartment “ON” button (1) - if provided - or set the knob (3) to Off.
HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT How to freeze fresh food You can use the freezer compartment to freeze food. The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours, at an ambient temperature of +25°C, is indicated on the data plate. How to operate: 1. 24 hours before freezing fresh food, press the fast freeze button (7) or set the thermostat knob to (selected models only). The yellow LED (8) - if provided switches on and remains alight until the fast freeze function is deactivated. 2.
HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT Making ice cubes • • . Fill the ice cube tray with water to 3/4 of its capacity, cover with the lid provided and place in the bottom of the freezer compartment. To speed up the formation of ice cubes, place the ice-tray on the bottom of the lowest drawer (as illustrated) and not in the ice pack tray (if provided). If the tray sticks to the bottom of the compartment, do not use pointed or sharp instruments to free it.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. The appliance is not working. • Is there a power failure? • Is the plug properly inserted in the mains socket? • Is the double-pole switch on? • Has the fuse blown? • Is the power cord in perfect condition? • Is the thermostat set to ● (Stop)? • Are buttons 1 and 4 pressed? 2. Temperature inside the compartments is not low enough.
INSTALLATION • • • • • • • Install the appliance away from heat sources. Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place. Ensure that the appliance is level. Adjust the front feet if necessary. Leave at least 5 cm clearance above the appliance. The sides of some models are extended at the rear so the appliance can be placed directly against the rear wall. Otherwise, fit the spacers (if supplied) on the upper part of the condenser at the rear of the appliance.
CONNECTIONS 1) ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS “Warning - this appliance must be earthed” This appliance is normally supplied with a mains lead having a plug fitted in the factory which has been checked for correct earth continuity. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, or if the machine’s mains lead is not fitted with a plug, you should fit a suitable new, good quality plug by following the instructions in (2) below.
