Instruction for Use
For the Republic of Ireland only
The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently
apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also used, the 2-pin.
side earth type.
In
this
case, the wire which
is
coloured GREEN
AND YELLOW must be connected to the EARTH contact, and the
other two wires to the pins, irrespective of colour. The supply to
the socket must be fitted with a
16
amp fuse. With the appliance
plugged in, the interior light should come on when the door
is
opened.After adjustment of the temperature, as indicated in the
next chapter, the refrigerator
is
ready for use.
~~~~~~~E~~
OF
THE
T~~~E~AT~~€
The thermostat (see figure) controls the temperature inside the
appliance. Position
0
means that the operation of the appliance
is
interrupted (the interior light
is
off).
To obtain the best storage of foods, we suggest you adjust the
thermostat control knob to position
4.
To obtain colder tempera-
tures in the compartment, set the thermostat control knob to the
higher settings.
If
the temperature in the compartment
is
too
cold, turn the thermostat control knob to the lower setting (posi-
tion
1).
Internal temperatures are affected by the location of the applian-
ce, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of door
opening. The setting of the thermostat may have to be varied to
allow for these factors. Experience will help you
in
finding the position best suited to your needs.
i55E
OF
THE
REFRIGERATOR
CO~~A~~~~E~~
(Fig.
7)
The temperature inside the
rxff-fi
compartment differs depen-
dent on the section. The coldest section
is
immediately above the
glass separator and near the rear wall.
All items stored
in
the refrigerator compartment should be wrap-
ped in aluminium or plastic sheetings or kept in a cover-ed con-
tainer. This prevents food from becoming dry on the surface and
stops
strong smells and flavours being passed from one food to
another.
The space inside the refrigerator may be organised moving the
grids dependent on you needs.
Different foods are best stored in the following positions:
Cooked foods, cheese:
use the top grids.
Meat, fish, sausages, etc.:
these should be stored above the
glass separator.
Fruits and vegetables:
these should be stored
in
the crisper.
Beverages:
use the rack of the refrigerator door.
Butter:
store in the special compartment
of
the refrigerator door.
In some modets it
is
possible to adjust the temperature of this
compartment by means of the slot provided; in position
0
the
butter can be easily spread.
Canned food:
once the can has been opened, transfer un-used
food into a non-metallic container.
Important:
Do not place foodstuffs or containers
so
that they do
not allow free circulation of air, or against the rear wall.
Do
not cover the grids with paper or plastic. Allow cooked food
to cool before storing in the refrigerator compartment.
USE
OF
THE
LOW
T~~~~~~~~~~
COMPARThilENT
(Fig.
7)
(if provided)
Your low temperature compartment (marked
m)
is for free-
zing-in small quantities of foods, producing ice cubes and storing
frozen foods.
In the
m
compartment the temperature of
-18°C
allows the
freezing-in
of
a
maximum quantity of
1,s
kg of foods in 24 h
period.
During freezing-in, we suggest you turn the thermostat control
knob to position
2-3.
Wrap foods to be frozen in aluminium foils or polythene films
and label each packet indicating the type of food and the free-
zing-in date.
Please make sure that already frozen foods do not come in con-
tact with fresh foods to be frozen.
Do
not store warm foods in the low temperature compartment.
Do
not re-freeze thawed or partially thawed foods, but use
them up within
24
hours or re-freeze after cooking.
Do not store liquids in glass containers.

SCE CUBES

fill the ice cube trays, and store in the low temperature com-
partment.
If
the tray sticks to the compartment, do not try to de-
tach
it
with sharp or cutting instruments, which could damage
the appliance, but use the handle of a spoon.
Attenion:
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after
their removal from the low temperature compartment, as they
may cause cold burns.
STORACE
OF
FROZEN
F80051
When buying commercially frozen foods, make sure that wrapper
or packets is intact.
If
it bulges or sags or has spots of moisture
on
it,
it may not have been kept cold enough and the contents
may have lost their original quality. When home. store commer-
cially frozen foods in the low temperature compartment
m,
with the least possible delay, as any appreciable rise in tempera-
ture may alterate their freshness.
Store commercially frozen foods no longer than the packet in-
structions recommend.
THAWlNG
Hera are some basic suggestions:
Raw vegetables:
do not thaw, put straight into boiling water
and cook as usually.
Meat (large cuts):
thaw in the refrigerator compartment
without unwrapping them. Before cooking, leave at room tempe-
rature for some hours, or defrost using your microwave. Please
follow the Manufacturer’s recommendations.
(small cuts):
thaw at room temperature or cook directly.
Fish:
thaw in the refrigerator compartment without unwrapping
or cook directly before being completely thawed.
Previously cooked foods:
pre-heat in the oven without remo-
ving from its aluminium container.
Fruit:
thaw in the refrigerator Compartment.
DEFROSTING

frosting is automatic. During the defrost cycle some water drop-
lets fall down the rear wall of the liner. The defrost water
is
collected into a tray situated on the compressor casing, whe-
