OPERATION
Before using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly. No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in this position for any period of time (see page 10 Low ambient operation). However should the temperature rise above 16¡C remember to turn the switch off again.
Electrical connections
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed. If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13amp socket in another part of your home. Important
For replacement, use a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug. A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Service Force Centre. This appliance complies with the E.E.C. Directive No. 87/308 of 2.6.87 relative to radio interference suppression. This appliance complies with the following E.E.C. Directives: 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications; 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications. Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a 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 If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible that because a very low temperature has been selected, the motor is working continuously, which prevents the defrost cycle from operating. To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should be selected on the thermostat and you should notice that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is correct. If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the thermostat to a higher number, however you should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic defrosting. Low Ambient Temperature Switch To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently when the room temperature drops below 16¡C, the switch mounted next to the thermostat control should be switched on.

The freezer compartment
The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods.
Freezing fresh food
When freezing large amounts of fresh food turn the thermostat to maximum approximately 1 hour prior to freezing. When the food is frozen return to the normal position. In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 10 kg. Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part. Important In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen .
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
