Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature,
depending on the time available. Small food items may
even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will
take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not
been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then
refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be
refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray
¾
full with cold water, place on
the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to
the freezer shelf by using pointed or sharp
edged objects.
Storage Shelves
The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are
adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.
The shelves can be re-arranged by opening the
door to 90°
The door shelves are also adjustable.
To allow the air to circulate whitin the fridge
compartment do not cover the wire shelves
with paper or trays.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
Before any maintenance or cleaning is
carried out you must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust
will affect the performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
When the Appliance is not in
Use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of
the food and clean the appliance, leaving the door
ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator defrosts every time the compressor
stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a
tray located at the back of the appliance above the
compressor, where it evaporates.
