Thermostat Control The thermostat control situated inside the refrigerator regulates the temperature of the larder compartment. Thermostat control is marked from 1-5 the higher the number, the colder the setting. Position 0 - Off Position 1 - minimum coldness Position 5 - maximum coldness 11 Using the refrigerator Hints for storage Below is the recommended storage positions for various food types: 1. Frozen food storage & ice making 2. Ready-cooked foods 3. Foods in dishes 4. Opened cans 5. Dairy products 6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc. 7. Fruits, vegetables, salads 8. Cheese, butter 9. Eggs 10. Yoghurt, Cream 11. Small bottles, soft drinks 12. Large bottles, drinks, milk How to use the four-star frozen food compartment The frozen food compartment is separated from the fresh food compartment. Place the food to be frozen into this compartment. Depending on the position of the thermostatic control knob and the temperature in the compartment (-18 °C or lower), frozen food can be stored here. Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with foods that are already frozen. How to make ice cubes Fill the supplied ice cube tray ¾ full with water and place in the freezer compartment. Turning up the thermostat control will speed up the freezing process, but remember to turn the thermostat control back to its original position. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Do not use sharp or pointed items to remove a frozen ice cube tray from the freezer compartment. Storage Shelves The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow storage of large items. The shelves can be removed and adjusted by opening the door to 90°. The door shelves are also adjustable. To allow the air to circulate within the fridge compartment do not cover the air circulation gaps behind the shelves (e.g. with tray etc.) Storage time and temperature of foods The enclosed charts at the end of the instruction book give information about storage time in the frozen and the fresh food compartment. The storage times quoted are intended as a guide only. 12 Hints & Tips In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum efficiency. Environmental information is also supplied.. Normal Operating Sounds You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out. In the Event of a Power Failure If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer compartment should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you: Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded. Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up. Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger. Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly. Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up. Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them. Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be refrozen as cooked dishes. Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a fresh dish. Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your appliance: Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid. 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 compartment immediately. Do not push food together too closely. Do not store food uncovered. Ensure that food placed in the freezer compartment is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal. Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated by the manufacturer. 13 Storage time chart (refrigerator) Time and method of storage of fresh foods in the refrigerator Foods Raw meat Cooked meat Roasted meat Raw minced meat Roasted minced meat Cold cuts,Vienna sausage Fresh fish Cooked fish Fried fish Tinned fish, open Fresh chicken Fried chicken Fresh hen Boiled hen Fresh duck, goose Roasted duck, goose Butter unopened Butter opened Milk Cream Sour cream Cheese (hard) Cheese (soft) Curds Egg Spinach, sorrel Green peas, green beans Mushroom Carrot, roots Bell-pepper Tomato Cabbage Soft fruits (strawberry, raspberry, etc.) Other fruits Tinned fruits opened Cakes filled with cream 1 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X Storage time in days 2 3 4 5 X x x x X X x x X X x x X X x X X x X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X x x x x x x X X x x X X X X X x X X X X X x X x X x X X X X X x x x x x x x x x x X X X x x X X X X X x X x X x X X x X x x x x x x x x x X X x x X x x X x x X x X X x x x x x x x X X x X x x X x X X x x Method of packaging 6 x 7 cling film, airtight dish covered dish covered dish covered dish covered cling film, cellophane, grease-proof paper cling film, airtight dish covered dish covered dish covered cling film, airtight dish covered cling film, airtight dish covered cling film, airtight dish covered original packaging original packaging original packaging plastic box plastic box aluminium foil cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film dish covered dish covered x X X x X x x X x X X x x Notation: X recommended storage time x maximum recommended storage time 14 Storage time chart (freezer) Storage time of deep-frozen and frozen products Foods Vegetables: green beans, green peas, mixed vegetables, marrow, corn, etc. Ready-cooked foods: vegetable dish, trimmings, with meat, etc. Ready-cooked foods: sirloin steaks, stews Soups: Fruits cherry, goosberry, fruit cream Meat: chicken, duck, goose, tuna fish Ice-cream, ice-lollies 1 day 1 day 5 months 3 weeks 1 day 12 months 1 day 1 day 6 months 6 months 1 day 12 months 1 day 12 months In the fresh food compartment +2 - +7°C In the **** frozen food compartment -18°C 15 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance of cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. Internal Cleaning Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. Defrosting The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops.The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located behind the appliance, where it evaporates. Important To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator compartment behind the salad drawer(s). Use the special cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole. While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes progressively covered with frost. This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 6 mm (1/4"). To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows: 1. Remove any food from inside the ****-star compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place. 2. Turn the thermostat knob to position << 0 >>. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard underneath the bowl as protection). 3. Remove any loose pieces of ice as soon as possible. 4. When defrosting is completed, clean and dry thoroughly. Turn the thermostat knob to a medium position to restart the appliance. After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour replace the previously removed food into the **** -star compartment. When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the foods from the inner door and the refrigerator compartment. External Cleaning Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. Changing the Light Bulb Should the light fail to work you can change it as below: Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Remove the lamp cover retaining screws, then take the lamp cover off in the direction of the arrow and the bulb can be changed. (Type of the bulb: 230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread) After changing the bulb replace the lamp cover, and retaining screws and reconnect the appliance to the electricity supply. Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it beyond repair When the appliance is not in use When the appliance is not in use for long periods disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells. 16 Something Not Working If the refrigerator is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force agent.
