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
continously 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 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
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 (Item 8). 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.
