Description of the appliance Description of the product features 1) Shelves o The shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots within the interior of the appliance. They are protected from sliding out. o To remove a shelf: Take off all of the items that are stored on the shelf that you want to remove. Then lift the front of the shelf and carefully pull it out of the grooves. 2) Defrost water outlet o The interior of the refrigerator is cooled by the cooling plate that is on the rear wall.
3) Crisper drawer and cover o The crisper drawer is in the bottom of your refrigerator and there is a cover that goes over it. o The cover helps to prevent fruit and vegetables from drying out prematurely. 4) Upper door shelves o The door liner holds various shelves, which are suitable for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt. As well as smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. 5) Bottle shelf o The lower shelf should be used for storing reasonably sized bottles.
During first use o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge freezer reaches a cool enough temperature. o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance. o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or reconnecting it to your mains supply.
o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the temperature of food and the amount of food that has been placed in the fridge freezer and how often the door is opened, will all affect the temperature being maintained by the appliance. o On the maximum setting (position <7>), your fridge freezer will work harder to maintain a lower temperature and will increase the energy usage. There is no need to run your appliance on setting 7 for prolonged periods.
o Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed on the glass shelf above the salad drawers. (Meat should only be stored in this manner for one or two days at the most). o Cold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be placed on any shelf. o Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed in the salad drawer. o Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or they can be wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags.
Freezing fresh food o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified above, you should turn the thermostat to position <7>, 24 hours prior to attempting freezing. o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should turn the thermostat to position <7>, approximately 6 hours prior to attempting freezing. o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging. This will help to make sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour.
cause the bottle to burst during freezing. Making ice cubes o Fill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment. o After the water is completely frozen and turned to ice, you can twist the ice cube tray (as shown in the drawing below) to dispense the ice. Saving energy when using your fridge-freezer Installing: o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or next to an oven or other heat source, the energy consumption can increase substantially.
o Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree can effect the energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to check the temperature. o The freezer compartment should operate at -15 to -18 degrees Celsius. The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance (but don’t let it sit at room temperature for too long).
o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher. o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply. Defrosting the refrigerator compartment o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during operation.
Defrosting the freezer compartment The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that builds. IMPORTANT: The freezer compartment should be defrosted at least twice a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it, will depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the compartment.
o You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer compartment until this 24 hour time period has elapsed. o Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices (e.g. hair dryer). Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice on the freezer, as this could cause damage to the refrigerant system.
