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.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.

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.

Use of the freezer compartment

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.

The temperature of this compartment may be regulated by rotating the knob (B), and may vary between more or less -15°C and -24°C.

When the knob is rotated, the display flashes and indicates the set temperature. After having set the desired temperature, if the knob is not rotated within 5 seconds, the temperature of the freezer compartment will be indicated.

To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the «» position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting.

However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as

-poor ventilation,

-high temperature,

-frequent door openings,

it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

We suggest setting the knob to the middle position to obtain an internal temperature of approximately -18°C, which guarantees proper freezing and conservation of the frozen foods.

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing fresh food.

The maximum quantity of foods to freeze in 24 hours is shown on the serial number plate.

Place the foods you want to freeze on the shelf of the freezer compartment, as this is the coldest point.

To freeze fresh foods, you will need to activate the fast freeze function. Press button E (several times if

necessary) until the corresponding icon appears

After a pre-cooling period of 24 hours, place the foods in the freezer.

The freezing process takes 24 hours. During this period do not put other foods in the freezer.

This function stops automatically after 54 hours.

Put the foods to be frozen in the compartments of the freezer, as per the diagram.

X

The function can be de-activated at any time by pressing button E (see paragraph "Activation of Functions").

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation.

-The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality.

-Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.

-During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.
