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.
