Control panel FREEZER NEON Green light- freezer section at temperature Red light - freezer section not at temperature REFRIGERATOR NEON Green light- fridge section at temperature Red light - fridge section not at temperature (1) VAC This will keep the fridge at a temperature of 7°C and the freezer at a temperature of -16°C (Holiday mode).
Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat o You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply. o The FREEZER and REFRIGERATOR neons will light red. o Press the TEMP.CONTROL button to cycle through the temperature settings. A green neon will light to indicate what setting you have currently selected.
Selecting superfreeze mode This setting should be used before and whilst you are freezing fresh food, it will ensure that a powerful supply of cold air enters both the fridge and freezer compartment. o Press the TEMP.CONTROL button until the SUPER (5) neon is lit.
Arranging and storing food in the fridge section o Warm food or evaporating liquids should not be stored in your refrigerator, as this will increase the humidity inside of the appliance. o All foods should be wrapped or covered, this is particularly important if the food has a strong flavour.
freezer compartment The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food. o The freezer compartment temperature must have already reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food. o The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time.
Tips on freezing o Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing frozen goods in. o Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings. o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should compress the air out of it, as this will help the food to freeze more easily.
Important user information IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the airflow duct vents on the rear interior wall of the fridge and freezer sections are not blocked. IMPORTANT: If your mains power supply fails, then the food inside of the freezer section will be preserved for a 12 hour period.
o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply. Defrosting the freezer compartment Your appliance is frost free, so you will not need to manually defrost the freezer section. However if for example the door is left open for a prolonged period of time or the door gasket is not sealing correctly, then you could get ice building in the freezer section.
o With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply. You should select the HIGH temperature setting for a 24 hour period, before returning it to the normal temperature setting of MID. o You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer compartment until this 24 hour time period has elapsed.
Installation IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the inside of the refrigerator.
Positioning o It is advisable that your appliance is only installed in a location where the ambient temperature of the room, corresponds with the climate classification that is stated on the rating plate of your appliance. Your appliance may not function correctly if the ambient temperature falls outside of the following ranges.
Reversing the doors IMPORTANT: Make sure you have enough room to lay the appliance on its back, without damaging or breaking the condenser coils on the rear of the fridge freezer. You should also ensure that there are no sharp or hard objects on the floor in this area.
