Electrical connection for Great Britain and Ireland only Warning - this appliance must be earthed Fuse replacement If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows: 1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B). 2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover. 3. Refit both into plug.
First use Connect the appliance to the mains power supply. A beep may be emitted by some models, to indicate that the temperature alarm has intervened: press and hold the button to switch off acoustic alarms. As applicable, insert the anti-bacterial/anti-odour filter into the fan as indicated on the filter package. Note: after switching on, the refrigerator needs approximately 4/5 hours to reach the correct temperature for storing a normal fridge load of food.
When the appliance is not in use Unplug the appliance from the mains, then empty, defrost (if necessary) and clean it. Leave the doors ajar, so that air can circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours. During blackouts Keep the doors closed to allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially thawed food. If the blackout persists, the blackout alarm may sound (depending on the model).
Freezer compartment The freezer compartment stores frozen food (for the period indicated on the package) and freezes fresh food. The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate; place the food in the freezer compartment (see Quick Start Guide), leaving leaving enough space around the packages to allow air to circulate. Refreezing partially thawed food is not recommended. It is important to wrap food so that no water, moisture, or vapour may penetrate.
“Zero degrees” box (depending on the model) The "Zero Degrees" box is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature and a suitable humidity level, in order to keep foods fresher for longer (e.g. meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables). Activating and deactivating the box The temperature inside the box, when active, is approximately 0°.
Removing the "Zero Degrees" box: The "Zero Degrees" box can be removed to create more space inside the refrigerator. In this case proceed as follows: - to facilitate removal, we recommend emptying (and if necessary, removing) the two lower door trays - switch off the box - pull out the drawer and the white plastic shelf underneath the box. Note: the upper shelf and the side supports cannot be removed.
