Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the appliance check
that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect
levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate
freely at the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended
under "Cleaning and care.”
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall
socket and the electricity is switched on.
When the door is open the interior light will
come on.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor
starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within
the refrigeration system may also make some
(noise), whether the compressor is running or
not. This is quite normal.
6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is
quite normal due to the manufacturing
process used; it is not a defect.
7. We recommend setting the knob midway
and monitor the temperature to ensure the
appliance maintains desired storage
temperatures (See section Temperature
Control and Adjustment).
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We
recommend checking the temperature with an
accurate thermometer (see; Temperature
Control and Adjustment).
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term
storage of commercially frozen foods and also
can be used to freeze and store fresh food.
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.
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 & 9)
. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
