ALARM
IMPORTANT: DO NOT run the appliance with the
thermostat on higher settings in normal use otherwise the
defrost drain hole will freeze.
Freezing Fresh Food
To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specifi ed, turn
the thermostat dial to its maximum position (Fig.2-8) a few
hours before intending freezing.
For smaller quantities of fresh food, turn the thermostat
dial to its maximum position for an hour before intending
freezing.
Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or
packaging. This will help to make sure that the food does not
dry out or lose its fl avour. It will also make sure that fl avour
does not transfer from other foods.
DO NOT allow fresh food to touch items that are already
frozen.
After 24 hours, check that the fresh food is satisfactorily
frozen. If so, turn the thermostat dial back to its normal
operating position.
Warning alarm
Your appliance is equipped with sensors in the fridge and
freezer sections which assess the temperature.
If the recorded temperature in either section goes above the
temperature set on the thermostat dial, the Warning Alarm
neon will light (Fig.2-9).
There will also be an audible warning signal to make you
aware that the sensors have sensed a temperature rise.
The warning alarm neon will stay switched on until the
recorded temperature has fallen to the level set on the
thermostat dial.
To silence the audible alarm, press the Warning Alarm off
button (Fig.2-10).
Note: The warning alarm neon will switch on if either of
the doors have been open for a period of time or if the
thermostat dial has been turned clockwise to a colder setting.
If the Warning Alarm neon stays lit for a prolonged period,
then please contact Consumer Services.
During First use
Set the thermostat dial to its maximum setting for 24 hours
after switching on the appliance for the fi rst time.
When you fi rst switch on the appliance, the compressor will
run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the
fridge freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.
During this time, try not to open the door frequently or place
a large amount of food within the appliance.
You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its
normal operating position.
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow
at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on the
thermostat or connecting it to your mains supply.
