    							STORING FROZEN FOOD
    Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturers instructions for a 
     frozen food storage
    compartment.
    To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the
    food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.2. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.3. Do not exceed Use By, Best Before dates on the packaging.
    If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
    affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
    food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
    MAKING ICE CUBES
    Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks.
    Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks, they will
    slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.

    STARTING
    Final Check 
    Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that:
    1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet.2. Clean the interior as recommended under CLEANING AND CARE.3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
        • When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on.4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
        within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the
        compressor is running or not which is quite normal.5. Set the thermostat knob half way between 1 and 5.6. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be
        warm to avoid condensation.
    7. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the
        correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the  temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment)
    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 which is 3.5 kg (7.9 lb)
    Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to
    operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive
    cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
    You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
    Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
    10
     
    						
    							DEFROSTING
    A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT 
    The fridge compartment defrosts
    automatically. The defrosting water runs
    to the drain tube via a collectioncontainer at the back of the appliance (1).(see diagram)
    During defrosting water droplets may form
    at the back of the fridge compartment
    where concealed evaporator is located.Some droplets may remain on the liner andrefreeze when defrosting is completed. DoCLEANING AND CARE 
    ** We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull     out the mains plug before cleaning. ** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent     and wax polish for cleaning. 
    ** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.
    ** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of     soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry. ** Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing.
    ** Excess deposits of ice should be removed on a regular basis with the handle of 
        a spoon. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the
        appliance. ** If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, 
        remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar. ** Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food 
        particles. ** Removal of door tray 
           • To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the        door rack upwards from the base. 
    ** To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, 
         and then pull it out completely.

    							REPLACING THE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB (See diagram)
    Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows. 
    1. Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
    • You may find it useful to remove shelves for easy access.
    2. Use a flat tipped screwdriver to remove the light diffuser cover by inserting the
    blade in each of the two recesses to prise off each side.
    3. First check that the bulb  hasn’t worked loose by ensuring it is screwed securely
    in the holder. Replace the plug and switch on. If the bulb works, replace the light
    cover by inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the front two lugs.
    4. If the light still fails to work, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains
    plug. Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap (SES) bulb.
    5. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.
    Replacement light bulb can easily be obtained from a good local electrical or DIYstore.DOS AND DONTS Do-     Clean and defrost your appliance regularly (See Defrosting)

    ENERGY SAVING TIPS 1- Ensure your appliance is installed in a well ventilated area. If the ambient     temperature is low (but in no case lower than 5 degrees C), then the energy     saving will be more. In this case, check temperatures of fridge and freezer 
        compartments with an accurate thermometer and lower the thermostat setting 
        (towards 1) if necessary. 2- Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your 
        appliance is kept at minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use 
        a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food. 3- Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and     ensure they are closed properly after each opening. 4- Defrost your appliance regularly (see Defrosting)5- Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so that frozen food acts as an     ice pack to assist cooling in the fridge. 
    PROBLEM SOLVING If the appliance does not operate when switched on, check whether:
    • The plug is inserted properly in the socket and that the power supply is on. (To    check the power supply to the socket, plug in another appliance) • The fuse has blown/circuit breaker has tripped/main distribution switch has 
       been turned off. 
    • The temperature control has been set correctly. • New plug is wired correctly if you have changed the fitted moulded plug.If the appliance is still not operating after the above checks, please refer to the 
    section on “How To Obtain Service”. Please ensure that above checks have been made as a charge will be made if no fault is found.                  15
