Starting

Final Check

Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that:

1.The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.

2.The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet.

3.Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."

4.Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.

• When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on.

5.You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.

“Due to operation of the fan inside the frost free freezer compartment, overall noise level is slightly higher in comparison to non-frost free appliances. This is quite normal and is not a fault.”

6.Set the setting knob at 2.5 (two and a half).

7.Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

8."Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment)"

9.When the freezer reaches the desired temperature the freezer fan will stop. When the freezer fan is on, the noise will be louder when the freezer door is opened.

10.Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate less efficiently.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the

frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage compartment.

To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:

1.Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2.Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.

3.Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 11 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re- frozen.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 3.5 kg (7.7 lb)

When freezing fresh food turn the setting knob towards max. Small quantities

of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control knob.

For fast freezing use the upper drawer of the compartment.

You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

LOW AMBIENT SWITCH USE

The low ambient switch has been incorporated in the appliance to extend the ambient operation temperature range down to +0°C (+32°F). This is particularly useful in winter

when the ambient temperature where the appliance is located falls below +10°C (+50°F). then turn the low ambient switch to ON position.

Having turned the low ambient switch to ON position, if the ambient temperature rises above +10°C, then the switch should be returned to OFF position.

MAKING ICE CUBES

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Freezer Drawers. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Freezer Drawers.

Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Freezer Drawers, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.
