If there is a power failure, do not open the door.
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 16 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.
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 setting 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 6). 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 7).
B) Freezer compartment
The NO FROST type defrost is completely
automatic. No intervention from your side is
required. The water is collected on the
compressor tray. Due the heat of the
compressor the water is evaporated
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 (Item 8 &
9). Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch
on the electricity supply.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates
cold air. Never insert any object through the
guard. Do not allow children to play with the
freezer fan. Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers,
spray cans etc.) or explosive substances. Don't
cover the shelves with any protective materials,
which may obstruct air circulation. Do not allow
children to play with the appliance or tamper with
the controls. Do not obstruct the freezer fan
guard to ensure that you obtain the best possible
performance from your appliance (Item 10).
Warning!
Your appliance is fitted with a circulating fan
which is essential for the performance of the
freezer. Please ensure the fan is not blocked
(stopped) or impaired by food or packaging.
Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can
result in an increase of the internal freezer
temperature (Thawing).
Replacing the interior light bulb
To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of
your refrigerator, call your Authorised Service.
