Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions. The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle. · · · Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out. Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns. Ice lollies can cause `frost/freezer burns' if consumed straight from the freezer. Manufacturers' storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions. The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves in this appliance contain channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this will cause substantial damage to the appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice.

Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly. Control panel 6 5 4 1 2 3 A B A - Thermostat control knob B - Pilot light To Start the Appliance Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. Turn the thermostat control (A) to a midway setting (3-4) and adjust the slider control, situated on the back wall of the fridge section, to a midway position between "MIN" and "MAX". The pilot light (B) will illuminate. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside. To switch off the appliance turn the thermostat control to position "G" Use of an air circulation slider control - COOL FLOW CONTROL Your appliance has an air circulation slider control situated at the rear of the fridge compartment, which controls the amount of cold air circulated through the fridge compartment. When the ambient temperature is between 10°C and 16°C, the slider control should be in the "MIN" position. When the ambient temperature is above 16°C the slider control should be midway between "MIN" and "MAX". When the ambient temperature is very high (i.e. hot summer days) position the slider control to "MAX". Setting the temperature The temperature inside the appliance is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an "OFF" (G) position. Position 1 = minimum coldness Position 6 = maximum coldness Turn the thermostat control knob to the required position. The intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4). The thermostat control knob regulates the temperature both within the fridge and the freezer compartment. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the appliance depends on the following factors: ­ room temperature ­ how often the door is opened ­ how much food is stored ­ position of the appliance MIN MAX COOL FLOW CONTROL MIN MAX COOL FLOW CONTROL D757/1 5 Fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints: Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry or chicken): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad drawers. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the salad drawers. Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible. Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. Warning If using the appliance with the salad drawer removed, please ensure the vent in the back wall of the appliance is not obstructed. D756 Positioning the door shelves The door shelves can be easily removed for cleaning. Gently ease the shelf in the directions shown. Adjustment of the door shelves can be made to accommodate varying heights of bottles and other containers. Store light items such as small cartons and jars on the door shelves. The bottle shelf can be used for the storage of heavier bottles. PR260 Positioning the inner shelves The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired. D040 6 Cool Check Guide The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip sealed in a shelf trim. When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature to store food the guide will appear black. If the temperature rises above this level the guide will show the words TOO WARM. Positioning of the Cool Check The shelf with the cool check temperature guide must be placed in the fridge according to the instructions located on the fridge wall and always ensure the guide is at the front. TOO WARM If the Cool Check shows TOO WARM In certain conditions the temperature guide may show TOO WARM if: · · · · The fridge is switched off The door has been recently opened A quantity of warmer food has been introduced to the fridge The fridge temperature is above the recommended maximum for the safe storage of food. CCOO2 ZA N US SI The cool check will change to show "TOO WARM" very quickly after the door has been opened. It will however take a number of hours to return to black, indicating that the temperature is correct. The appliance should be left overnight and the cool check examined in the morning. If the cool check shows TOO WARM, turn the thermostat to a colder setting leave overnight and examine again the following morning. Hints and Tips · · · The guide is only suitable for use in the model supplied. The guide will not operate in a freezer compartment. When cleaning the shelf take care not to immerse in water, and wipe away any spills. 7 The freezer compartment The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods. Thawing Frozen food 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. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping. A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing of frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven. Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen. Freezing fresh food When freezing fresh foods set the slider control to the "cold" position and turn the thermostat control to a higher setting. In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 6 kg. Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part. After 24 hours reposition the slider control and thermostat control to previous setting. Important To ensure correct operation of the appliance do not use the appliance with the basket or drawers removed. Frozen food storage Frozen food can be stored in any basket or drawer of the freezer compartment, including the fast freeze compartment. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer. Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Warning Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment. Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin burns. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns". Attention! In the event of a power failure - DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. If the temperature in the freezer rises, and the food begins to thaw, do not re-freeze the food without checking its conditions. The following guidelines should ass ...
