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 or to the fixed freezer shelves.

•

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.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.

Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad
crispers.

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 bottom salad crispers.

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.

Use of the refrigerator

The thermostat is valid for both freezer and
refrigerator compartments.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by the thermostat with 6 temperature positions and
an “OFF” (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness

Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.

The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).

The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:

– room temperature

– how often the door is opened

– how much food is stored

– position of the appliance

Important

During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather,
if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the
cooling system may operate continuously and the
fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob
to a lower number will cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.

Electrical connections

Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should
this safety measure not be observed.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not
suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and
the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.

The cut off plug should then be disposed of to
prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be
plugged into a 13amp socket in another part of your
home.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in
the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond
with the markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter

«E» or the earth symbol

or coloured green and

yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured
black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured
red.
