Warning
IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE
THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR,
YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE
UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN
BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.
Depending upon the position which you choose for
your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in
which the door opens.To do this, refer to
instructions on “Door reversal directions”.
Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location
where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate classification indicated on the rating plate,
which is located at the left on the inside of the
appliance.
The following table shows which ambient
temperature is correct for each climate
classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of
direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature
e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold
room e.g. an outhouse . If these temperatures are
exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance
may not operate correctly.
For building-in and door reversibility, if necessary ,
refer to the relevant instructions in the following
pages.
Important
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the
mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily
accessible after installation.
Shelf holders
Your appliance is equipped with shelf retainers that
make it possible to secure the shelves during
transportation.
To remove them proceed as follows:
Raise the shelf from the back, push it in the
direction of the arrow until it is freed and remove
the retainers. B

Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired .
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.

Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring
sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you
will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts
in and out.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad
crispers.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
The thermostat is valid for both freezer and
refrigerator compartments.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by the thermostat with 6 temperature positions and
an “OFF” (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigeration compartment depends on
the following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot
weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a
number, the cooling system may operate
continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not
defrost.Turning the knob to a lower number will
cause the automatic defrosting to resume.
