[. . . ] · This fridge/freezer must only be used for its intended purpose i. e. At , the care and protection of our environment is an ongoing commitment. This appliance which is among the latest range introduced is particularly environment friendly. Your appliance contains non CFC / HFC natural substances in the cooling system (Called R600a) and in the insulation (Called cyclopentane) which are potentially flammable if exposed to fire. [. . . ] Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface. 9 Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (see diagram) located on the ceiling of fridge compartment. 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 you set the thermostat half way between the 1 and 5 setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. 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. The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting thermostat knob towards 5 position. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via a collection container 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 and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have frozen. If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the setting (i. e. B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the frost. Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical appliances for defrosting. When defrosting has finished, fold back the spout and dry the interior (Fig 3-4) thoroughly. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
