The positions of the thermostat control knob and of the drip
tray are affected by the location of the appliance, the tempe-
rature of the surrounding air, the frequency of the door ope-
ning.
To adjust the drip tray lift it
at
the front and align it on the po-
sition required.
US€
OF
THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
(Fig. 9)
All items stored in the refrigerator compartment should be
wrapped in aluminium or plastic sheeting or kept in
a
covered
container. This prevents food from becoming dry on the surfa-
ce
and stops strong smells and flavours being passed from
one food to another.
The coldest section of the refrigerator compartment
is
in the
bottom of the liner.
Different foods are best stored in the positions indicated he-
reafter:
Cooked foods, meats, jellies, etc.:
these should be stored
on the top grids, under the low temperature compartment.
Meats, fruits, vegetables (sausages, fish, etc.):
these
should be stored in the bottom of the liner or in the crisper.
Eggs, cheese and dairy produces:
these should be stored in
the refrigerator compartment door.
Canned food:
once the can has been opened, transfer un-
used food into
a
non-metallic container.
Important:
Do
not place foodstuffs or containers against the
rear wall. Store food
so
as to permit the free circulation of air.
Do not line the shelves with paper or plastic. Allow cooked
food to cool before storing in the refrigerator compartment.
USE OF THE LOW TEMPERATURE
COMPARTMENT
(Fig.
10)
Buying and storing commercially pre-packaged frozen
food
-
Make sure that wrapper or packet is intact as the food may
deteriorate. If a package bulges or sags or has spots of moi-
sture on it, it may not have been kept cold enough and the
contents may have lost their original quality.
Please note that any food, even if partially thawed, cannot be
re- frozen but must be eaten within
24
hours, or re-frozen af-
ter cooking.
-
When buying frozen food, it is suggested to use thermical
bags or cold boxes. Contrarily, they should be the last purcha-
ses
made and should be well wrapped in newspaper. When
home, store them in the low temperature compartment with
the least possible delay.
-
Store frozen food no longer than the packet instructions re-
commend. If no indication is given, store frozen food for
a
maximum period of
1
month.
Thawing of frozen food
Here are some basic suggestions:
Raw vegetables
-
do not thaw: put straight into boiling wa-
ter and cook
as
usual.
Meat
(large cuts): thaw in the refrigerator compartment
without unwrapping them. Before cooking, leave
at
room
temperature for some hours; (small cuts): thaw
at
room tem-
perature or cook directly.
Fish:
thaw in the refrigerator compartment without unwrap-
ping or cook directly before being completely thawed.
Previously cooked food:
re-heat in the oven without remo-
ving from its aluminium container.
Fruit:
thaw in the refrigerator.
Production of ice cubes
Fill the trays up to
314
of their depth, then place them in the
low temperature compartment
O.
Attention
-
Do not store warm foods in the low temperature compart-
ment, but let them cool down at ambient temperature.
-
Do
not store sealed containers of carbonated drinks in the
low temperature compartment
as
they may explode. Only use
plastic containers.
-
Some products, such as ice lollies, must not be consumed
straight from the low temperature compartment.
-
Do not
eat
ice
cubes or ice lollies immediately after their re-
moval from the low temperature compartment
as
they may gi-
ve rise to "cold" burns.
DEFROSTING (Fig.
11)
Defrost when the layer of frost coating the low temperature
compartment reaches
a
3
mm thickness.
If you store foods in the low temperature compartment,
it
is
suggested to defrost using the "accelerated" method, to
avoid deterioration of foods.
If the low temperature compartment is empty, the "normal"
defrosting method is suggested
as
this can be carried out
overnight.
TO DEFROST
-
Ensure that the defrost water container is empty and that
the drip tray
is
correctly positioned under the low temperature
compartment.
-
Empty the low temperature compartment, wrap foods in se-
veral layers of newspaper and place them in the main com-
partment.
Remove the ice cube tray. It is not necessary to empty the re-
mainder of the refrigerator.
Accelerated defrosting
-
Disconnect the refrigerator from the mains supply.
-
Ensure that the drip tray is correctly positioned
as
previously
mentioned on shelf.
-
Place a bowl of warm water (50°C max) in the low tempera-
ture compartment and leave the refrigerator door open.
-
Renew the warm water if necessary.
-
When all the frost has melted, clean the appliance. Re- con-
nect to mains supply and place frozen foods in the low tempe-
rature compartment.
Normal defrosting
-
Press the button in the centre of the thermostat knob and
close the door.
When all the frost has melted, the button will return to
its
normal position and the refrigerator will start automatically.
-
Replace the ice cube trays in the low temperature compart-
ment.
Note:
Do not use electric fires or other sources of heat to
ac-
celerate defrosting. Do not attempt to remove ice from the
low temperature compartment with sharp instruments.
MAlNTENAMCE
A
periodic and proper maintenance will ensure a longer life to
your appliance.
When carrying out cleaning operations or defrosting, always
disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
Clean periodically the inside of the refrigerator (ideally during
defrosting) with
a
sponge dampened in
a
solution of
lukewarm water and vinegar then dry carefully
(Fig.
12).
Never use abrasives.
Clean the outside with
a
damp soft cloth.
To clean the black grill, use
a
vacuum cleaner
(Fig.
13).
MOLIDAYS
Empty the appliance, disconnect from mains supply, defrost
and clean the inside. Leave the door open to prevent the ap-
pliance from smelling musty
(Fig.
14).
SEYVICE
The incorrect operation of the appliance is not always due to
a
fault but it may be the result of poor installation or usage.
To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be
charged, we suggest you consult this trouble-shooting guide.
1.
The temperature in the compartment
is
not cold
enough.
Check that:
-
the door
is
properly closed.
-the thermostat
is
in the correct position.
-the appliance is not too close to a heat source.
-
the "black grill"
is
clean and the air flow over
it
is not restricted.
-
in the low temperature compartment, the layer of frost
is
not excessive.
2.
The temperature in the refrigerator
is
too cold.
Check
that the thermostat and the drip tray
are
in the correct position.
3.
The refrigerator
is
excessively noisy (Fig.
15).
Check
that:
-
the refrigerator is not in contact with adjacent fitments which
may cause noise due to vibration.
-
the refrigerator system pipework
at
the
rear
of the cabinet is
not vibrating against the cabinet.
4.
The appliance does not work at all.
Check that:
-
the mains plug is making good contact with the supply
socket.
-
the supply fuse
is
intact by connecting another appliance to
the supply socket.
For Great Britain only
Check the plug fuse (See chapter "Moulded Plugs").
-
Check removable plugs for loose internal connections and ti-
ghten if necessary. Loose connections can cause overheating
of the plug: where this has occurred replace the plug.
-the supply cable
is
not broken.
5.
The interior light does not work.
Check that: there
is
not
a
power failure.
Contrarily, unplug the appliance and remove the eventual
lamp cover by means of
a
screwdriver. Check that the bulb
is
not loose. Tighten if necessary. To change the faulty bulb,
proceed
as
above and fit
a
replacement bulb of not more than
15 W.
NOTE:
When replacing a damaged supply cord be sure the new cord
is
correctly clamped. Due to possible variations in the diameter
of replacement cord, the upper part of the cord clamp can be
inverted to cater for smaller diameter.
