• Do not attempt to sit or stand on top of your appliance as it is not designed for such use. You could injure yourself or damage the appliance. • Make sure that the mains cable is not caught under the appliance during and after moving, as this could damage the cable. • Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls. Installation instructions 1. Do not keep your appliance in a room where the temperature is likely to fall below 10 degrees C (50 degrees F) at night and/or especially in winter, as it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between +10 and +32 degrees C (50 and 90 degrees F). At lower temperatures the appliance may not operate, resulting in a reduction in the storage life of the food. 2. Do not place the appliance near cookers or radiators or in direct sunlight, as this will cause extra strain on the appliance's functions. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances: From Cookers 30 mm From Radiators 300 mm From Freezers 25 mm 3. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. 2 Instructions for useGB Instructions for useGB 4. The appliance should be positioned on a smooth surface. 5. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use. Suggested arrangement of food in the larder fridge Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and hygiene: 1. This appliance for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks. 2. Dairy products should be stored in the special compartment provided in the door liner. 3. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight containers and are bes kept on either of the removable shelves. 4. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins. 5. Bottles can be kept in the door section. 6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food, to avoid contamination. Fo safety, only store raw meat for two to three days. 7. For maximum efficiency, the removable shelves should not be covered with paper or other materials to allow free circulation of cool air. 8. The shelves are fitted with rear stops and tilting for storing bottles. Lift shelf clear of grooves when adjusting. 9. To tilt a shelf, place the back of the shelf one level below the front of the shelf. To remove a tilted shelf, first release the back from the grooves and then pull. 10. Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves. Keep food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before refrigerating. Do not store explosive substances in the refrigerator. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Leftover canned food should not be stored in the can. 11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0 degrees centigrade. Therefore wrap pineapples, melon, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags. 3 Instructions for useGB Instructions for useGB Temperature control and adjustment Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (Fig. 2) and may be set between 1 and 5, the coldest position. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that, after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F ). We recommend setting the thermostat half-way between the 1 and 5 setting and monitoring to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards 5 you will obtain a lower temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal. In ambient temperatures above 25°C (77°F), especially in summer, turn the thermostat knob towards 5. In ambient temperatures below 25°C (77°F) turn the thermostat knob to a half way position. Frequent door opening causes internal temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to close as soon as possible after use. Before operating Final Check Before you start using the appliance check that: 1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling. 2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear. 3. The interior is clean as recommended under "Cleaning and care.” 4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on. When the door is open the interior light will come on. And note that: 5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor is running or not. This is quite normal. 6. We recommend setting the thermostat knob midway and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment). 7. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend checking the ...
