USING THE APPLIANCE This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs. This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 10°C (50°F) and 32°C (90°F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e., colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18°C and food spoilage may occur.
Indicator Light GREEN INDICATOR LIGHT The green indicator light is situated in the control panel. When the appliance is switched on at the mains the green indicator light will glow and continue to glow until the appliance is switched off at the mains. LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE CONTROL Your appliance has been designed to operate in room temperatures of 10°C to 32°C.
Larder Compartment The correct temperature for safe storage of fresh food inside is 0°C to 5°C (32°F to 41°F). The warmest part of the fridge compartment is at the top of the cabinet and the coolest at the bottom.
The Freezer Compartment The symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at -18°C (-0.4°F) or colder allowing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food. The freezer temperature is controlled automatically by the thermostat situated in the control panel. Due to the different installations, methods of usage and weather conditions, adjustments to the temperature settings may be required.
HINTS AND TIPS Food Storage To obtain the best results from your appliance, neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate, should be placed in the larder compartment. 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 immediately. Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
HINTS AND TIPS Normal Operating Sounds The advanced design of today's frost free appliances mean you hear unfamiliar noises during everyday operation. The diagram below describes some of the noises you may hear. These are quite normal and mean your appliance is operating correctly. The thermostat control will click when starting or stopping the compressor. The automatic defrost timer sounds like an electric clock and clicks in and out of the defrost cycle.
