Congratulations on your choice of a

LEC

Quality Appliance, designed to give you many years of

service.

About No Frost

Your fridge freezer combines NO Frost Technology with an electronic control system for

accurate temperature control and automatic defrosting. This product is designed to

avoid the formation of ice in the freezer. Accordingly there is no need for manual

defrosting. The product will automatically perform any defrosting once it becomes

necessary.

No Frost Technology

In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer the evaporator is assisted by electric

heating during the defrosting procedure. The ventilator (circulating fan) is off during

defrost cycle. The defrost water will drip into the tray placed on the compressor and will

evaporate. In the course of the defrosting procedure the evaporator becomes warm but

it has no influence on the internal temperature.

All foods should be kept well packed in order to prevent any moisture loss as a result of

air circulation.

Warning:- Internal circulating fans

Your appliance is fitted with circulating fans which are essential for the performance of your

appliance.

Please ensure that the internal circulating fans are not blocked or impaired by food or packaging.

Do not overfill the freezer compartment, taking special care not to impair or block the circulating

fan at the top of the compartment.

Blocking or impairing the circulating fans can result in an increase in the internal temperatures of

the appliance and activation of the high temperature alarm.

Safety first!

Do not connect your appliance to the electricity supply until all packing and transit protectors

have been removed.

• Leave to stand for at least 12 hours before switching on, to allow compressor oil to settle.

• If you are discarding an old appliance with a lock or latch fitted to the door, break or disable the

lock to ensure that it is left in a safe condition to prevent children becoming trapped inside.

• This appliance must only be used for its intended purpose.

• Do not dispose of the appliance on a fire. Your appliance contains non CFC substances in the

Operation of the control panel

(Fig 5)

The control panel is used for adjusting and

displaying the temperatures within the appliance

and has the following functions:

1 – Fast freeze button

2 – Freezer temperature display

3 – Orange led – Fast freeze on

4 – Green led – Power on

5 – Red led – Alarm

6 – Refrigerator temperature display

7 – Temperature setting button

Accoustic signalling

When the door of the refrigerator remains open for

more than 1 minute, an intermittent audio alarm is

activated.

If the door of the refrigerator is shut, the audio alarm

stops.

Fan

The fans circulate the cold air in both compartments.

It is connected electrically in parallel with the motor-

compressor. When the motor-compressor is off, the

fan will also be off.

The fan of the refrigerator stops 1 second after the

opening of the door and starts 1 second after its

closing.

In some cases it is possible that the fan in the

freezer compartment starts with a delay

compared to the motor compressor.

Lamp

The lamp comes on after the opening of the

door and remains on until it is closed.

Adjustment of the temperatures in the

refrigerator and in the freezer

The temperatures are adjusted by rotating the

temperature adjustment knob (7) from MIN

towards MAX. On the temperature display the

new value of the fridge temperature (6) will

blink for 5 sec. Then the current value read by

the fridge sensor will be displayed.

The freezer display will show the

corespondent temperature for the freezer.

The inside temperatures of the refrigerator

and of the freezer are correlated as follows:

Refrigerator

adjusted

temperature

Freezer

corresponding

value

+ 8 - 18

+ 7 - 19

+ 6 - 20

+ 5 - 21

+ 4 - 22

+ 3 - 23

+ 2 - 24

The inside temperatures can vary

according to the conditions of use of the

appliance: location, ambient temperature,

frequence of door opening, ammount of

food stored. The temperature adjustment

will need to be modified accrodance with

these conditions.

Generally, for an ambient temperature of

25

0

C, when the appliance is first switched on,

the temperature should be set to an average

position of 4

or 5

.

This position can be subsequently

adjusted towards plus or minus according

to the wish of each user.

During the operation of the appliance,

condensation drops or ice appear on the

inside back wall. You do not need to remove

these drops, because the back wall is

automatically defrosted. The water which

results leaks in the special groove and is

collected in a tray placed near the

compressor, from where it evaporates.

GB/IE

Instruction for use

12

To measure the temperature in a certain area

inside the refrigerator (for instance on the

shelf) you can use a thermometer placed in a

glass full with water. In order to obtain a

temperature which represents exactly the

temperature in that area , the temperature

must be read after a few hours of reduced

use, for instance in the morning when the

door is opened the first time.

Fast freeze function

It is used to freeze food in a short time or to

make ice cubes. When the fast freeze button

is pushed, a short beep is heard, confirming

the function is active, and the orange light

comes on. On the freezer display, the freezing

target value will blink for 5 seconds, (-25

0

C).

During fast freeze, the temperature in the

refrigerator compartment never drops below

0

C, avoiding the freezing of food in this

compartment.

To cancel this function press the fast freeze

button again (1) or it will automatically switch

off after 12 hours .

In case of a power failure during fast freeze,

when the appliance restarts, the fast freeze

function is not re-activated and the appliance,

operates in the previously set mode.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice-cube tray ¾ with water and

place it in its special area. The ice-cubes

can be easily detached if you pass the

tray for a few seconds under a cold water

tap.

Food freezing

Freezing capacity

The freezing capacity is the maximum weight

of food which can be be frozen in 24 hours. It

is specified in the table on page 9 and on the

rating label in the refrigerator compartment,

near the crisper.

The food must be frozen completely and as

quickly as possible as this helps to preserve

the the vitamin content, nutritive value, texture

and taste. For this reason it is advisable not to

exceed the maximum freezing capacity of

your appliance.

The food already frozen should be kept as far

possible from fresh food that is to be frozen.

Before placing fresh food into the freezer –

always allow it to cool first.

Suggestions for food storage

In order to get best results and maintain good

hygiene standards, we suggest the following:

•

Only keep fresh foods and drinks in the

refrigerator for a short time.

•

Dairy products must be kept in the special

compartment inside the door.

•

Cooked food must be kept in well sealed

containers for not longer than 2-3 days.

•

Packed, fresh food can be kept on the

shelves. Fresh fruits and vegetables can kept

in the crisper.

•

Bottles can be kept in the special

compartment inside the door.

•

In order to keep the fresh meat for a few

days in the refrigerator, pack it in polythene

bags. Do not put it in contact with cooked

food. As a precaution, do not keep for more

than 2-3 days.

•

Keep the food packed or covered. Canned

food should not be kept in the can after it has

been opened.

•

Leave hot food to cool before placing them

into the refrigerator.

•

Alcoholic drinks with high percentage must

be stored in vertical position, in well sealed

containers (they can explode).

•

Do not let food packaging stick on the

cooled wall of the refrigerator (to avoid ice

build-up which cannot be defrosted during

normal operation).

GB/IE

Instruction for use

Advice for a maximum

efficiency

Important!

Do not place too much food into the freezer at

any one time. The quality of food is best

preserved if it is frozen as thoroughly and as

quickly as possible. This is why it is better not

to exceed the freezing capacity of the

appliance as specified in the "Appliance data

sheet". To reduce the freezing time, you can

use the function „fast freeze”.

•

Fresh food must not come into contact with

the food already frozen.

•

Frozen food, bought from the shop, can be

placed into the freezer without needing to

adjust the thermostat.

•

If the freezing date is not mentioned on the

packing, please consider a period of storage

of max. 3 months as a general rule.

•

Any food, even partially defrosted, canno

t be

frozen again, it must be consumed

immediately or cooked and then frozen again.

•

Effervescent drinks should not be stored in

the freezer.

•

In case of a power failure do not open the

door of the appliance. The frozen food will not

be affected if the failure lasts less than 18

hours.

Energy saving

•

Avoid placing the appliance in a sunny area

or near a heat source.

•

Provide good ventilation for the compressor

and condenser.

•

Place the food into closed containers or foil

to avoid ice build-up.

•

Do not leave the doors open longer than

necessary, open them only when required.

•

Store liquids only in closed containers.

•

Place foods and liquids into the appliance

only when they are at room temperature .

Keep the condenser clean.

•

You can save energy if you defrost the food

by placing them first in the refrigerator

compartment.

Repositioning the door

Proceed in numerical order

(Fig 11).

Appliance maintenance and

cleaning

Advice for appliance defrosting

The „NO FROST” defrosting is completely

automatic. You do not need to do anything.

The water from the defrosting is collected in a

tray on the compressor, where it evaporates

because of the temperature generated during

its operation

(Fig 6).

Keep the collector and the water drain tube

clean . For this purpose use the supplied

cleaning tool. 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

(Fig 7).

Inside cleaning

(Fig 8 & 9)

Before starting the cleaning operation, unplug

the appliance.

•

It is recommended that you clean the

appliance when you defrost it.

•

Wash the inside with lukewarm water where

you can add a neutral detergent. Do not use

soap, detergent, petrol or acetone which can

leave a strong odour.

•

Wipe with a wet sponge and dry with a soft

cloth.

During this operation, avoid excess water to

avoid it from entering into the thermal

insulation o

f the appliance, which would cause

unpleasant odours.

Be careful to avoid water entering into the

enclosure of the inside lamp !

After finishing the cleaning, plug in the

appliance.

Do not forget to clean the door gaskets,

especially the ribs of the bellows, by means of

a clean cloth.

Instruction for use

Noises during operation

In order to keep the temperature at the value

you have selected, the compressors of the

appliance starts up periodically.

The noises which can be heard in such

situation are normal.

They are reduced as soon as the appliance

reaches the operation temperature.

The humming noise is made by the

compressor. It can become a little stronger

when the compressor starts.

The bubbling and gurgling noises coming from

the refrigerant circulating in the pipes of the

appliance, are normal operating noises.

•

The clicking noises can be heard during the

automatic defrosting, when the walls of the

appliance expand or contract and make this

noise.

If the operating noises are too loud, the

reasons are usually minor and can be solved

very easily.

- The appliance is not in horizontal position –

adjust the front feet.

- The appliance is not free-standing – place

the appliance so that it does not lean on the

furniture or on other appliances.

- The drawers, baskets or shelves have

become loose – check the detachable

components and eventually put them back.

- The bottles or containers touch each other –

move the bottles or containers so that there is

a small clearance between them.

Atention!

Never try to repair the appliance or its electric

components. Any repair made by an untrained

person is dangerous for the user and can

result in the warranty cancellation.

Changing the plug

Your fridge freezer is fitted with a fused

three pin plug which will be suitable for use

in all residences fitted with sockets to

current specifications.

The fridge freezer runs on an electricity

supply of 220-240 V 50Hz and must be

earthed. If the plug is removed it should not

be re-used, but thrown away immediately. A

cut off plug can be dangerous if plugged

into a socket.

If the plug supplied becomes damaged it

must be replaced with a new one and the

flexible mains lead connected as shown.
