TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OPERATION Before using Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). DIMENSIONS Height 140 cm Width 55 cm Depth 60 cm Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Thawing Fresh food refrigeration Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer. To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before replacing. Freezer Movable shelves The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired. When the frost has reached a thickness of up to 4mm it can be removed using a plastic scraper. During this operation it is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from the mains and remove the food. Never use metal tools for this operation.
HINTS AND TIPS MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Energy Saving Advice Normal Operating Sounds • • • You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. • Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
