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.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment
causes the refrigeration machine to operate
continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the
refrigeration compartment. When freezing fresh
food, keep the thermostat knob at medium position.
Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be
frozen without adjusting the temperature control
knob. Take special care not to mix already frozen
food and fresh food.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it
in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The
defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(Item 5)
.
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the
back of the fridge compartment where a concealed
evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain
on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is
completed. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects such as knives or forks to remove the
droplets which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from
the collection channel, check that no food particles
have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be
cleared with a pipe-cleaner or similar implement.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with its
end in the collecting tray on the compressor to
prevent the water spilling on the electric installation
or on the floor
(Item 6)
.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess,
thanks to a special defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around
7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the defrosting
procedure, switch off the appliance at the socket
outlet and pull out the mains plug. All food should
be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and
stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Containers of warm water may be placed carefully
in the freezer to speed up the defrosting. Do not
use pointed or sharp-edged objects, such as knives
or forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other
such electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water collected in the
bottom of the freezer compartment. After defrosting,
dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug into the
wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
Replacing the interior light bulb
To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of
your refrigerator, call your Authorised Service. The
lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for
household room illumination. The intended purpose
of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs
in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable
way. The lamps used in this appliance have to
withstand extreme physical conditions such as
temperatures below -20°C.
Cleaning and care
1. We recommend that you switch off the appliance
at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug
before cleaning.
2. Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive
substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent or
wax polish for cleaning.
3. Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the
appliance and wipe it dry.
4. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one
teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of
water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
5. Make sure that no water enters the temperature
control box.
6. If the appliance is not going to be used for a long
period of time, switch it off, remove all food, clean it
and leave the door ajar.
7. We recommend that you polish the metal parts
of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet sides) with
a silicone wax (car polish) to protect the high quality
paint finish.
8. Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is
located at the back of the appliance, should be
removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
9. Check door seals regularly to ensure they are
clean and free from food particles.
10. Never:
• Clean the appliance with unsuitable material; e.g.
petroleum based products.
• Subject it to high temperatures in any way,
• Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.
11. Make sure that the special plastic container at
the back of the appliance which collects defrost
water is clean at all times. If you want to remove the
tray to clean it, follow the instructions below:
• Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug.
• Gently uncrimp the stud on the compressor, using
a pair of pliers, so that the tray can be removed.
