GB Instruction for use

Temperature control and adjustment

Operating temperatures are controlled by the

thermostat knob (Item 5) and may be set at

any position between MIN and MAX (the

coldest position).

The average temperature inside the fridge

should be around +5°C (+41°F).

Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain the

desired temperature. Some sections of the

fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as

salad crisper and top part of the cabinet)

which is quite normal. We recommend that

you check the temperature periodically with a

to this temperature. Frequent door openings

cause internal temperatures to rise, so it is

advisable to close the door 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. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is

quite normal due to the manufacturing

process used; it is not a defect.

8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is

switched on. Wait until the correct storage

temperature has been reached. We

recommend checking the temperature with an

accurate thermometer (see; Temperature

Control and Adjustment).

Storing frozen food

Your freezer is suitable for the long-term

storage of commercially frozen foods and also

can be used to freeze and store fresh food.

If there is a power failure, do not open the

door. Frozen food should no

midway and monitor the temperature to

ensure the appliance maintains desired

storage temperatures (See section

Temperature Control and Adjustment).

failure lasts for less than 18 hrs. If the failure

is longer, then the food should be checked

and either eaten immediately or cooked and

then re-frozen.

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.

Placing warm food into the freezer

compartment causes the refrigeration

machine to operate continously until the food

is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to

excessive cooling of the refrigeration

compartment.

When freezing fresh food, keep the

thermostat knob at medium position. Small

quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be

frozen without adjusting the temperature

control knob.

Take special care not to mix already frozen

food and fresh food.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and

place it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays

with a spoon handle or a similar implement;

never use sharp-edged objects such as

knives or forks.
