Operation  
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly  
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad bin.  
Before use  
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.  
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.  
Setting the temperature  
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with  
runners so that shelves can be positioned as  
desired.  
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated  
by a thermostat control knob with 6 temperature  
positions and one ÇOFFÈ (O) position.  
Position 1 = minimum coldness  
Position 6 = maximum coldness  
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required  
position.  
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,  
although the temperature will be affected by:  
¥
Room temperature  
¥ How often the door is opened  
¥ How much food is stored  
¥ Position of the appliance  
D302  
In determining the correct temperature control setting  
all these factors have to be considered and some  
experimentation may be necessary.  
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24  
hours for the temperature to stablise before making  
further changes.  
The door shelves  
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,  
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.  
To do this proceed as in the figure.  
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.  
If you wish to return to a lower temperature,  
turn the thermostat knob to a higher number,  
however you should turn the setting lower  
occasionally to allow automatic defrosting.  
PR260  
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and  
the bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in  
the director of the arrows, then refitting them in  
position.  
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.  
Normal Operating Sounds  
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 & chicken or poultry):  
wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad  
bin.  
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.  
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 ÔclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in and  
out.  
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one  
or two days at the most.

Health and Safety Guidelines  
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods.  
This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and  
storage of food is even more important than ever.  
The following tips should help you to ensure that  
the food in your home is in as perfect condition  
as possible.  
¥ Do not store food uncovered.  
¥ Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean the interior (see ÒMaintenance and  
CleaningÓ).  
¥ Keep the time between buying chilled food and  
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests  
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange  
juice rose to 22¡C in an hour between the  
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get  
down to 7¡C in the refrigerator.  
¥ Never allow spillages to dry and harden.  
¥ Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the  
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped  
eggs.  
¥ Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to  
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.  
¥ Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as  
possible.  
¥ Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry  
them with a clean towel before handling food.  
¥ Do not push food together too much, try to allow air  
to circulate around each item.  
¥ Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross  
contamination by not using the same work surface  
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in  
between.  
¥ Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do  
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food  
in a cool place in order that it can then be placed in  
the refrigerator as soon as possible).  
¥ Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in  
separate containers. Take care not to let the meat  
juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip,  
remove everything and clean thoroughly.  
Defrosting  
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the  
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the  
pipe, into a tray located below the appliance, where it  
evaporates.  
Important  
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the  
fridge, periodically clean the water discharge  
hole in the centre of the V shaped drip  
collector at the back of the refrigerator  
compartment behind the fruit and vegetable  
drawers. Use the special cleaner provided  
which you will find already inserted into the  
discharge hole.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Warning  
Changing the light bulb  
Before any maintenance or cleaning work  
is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance  
from the ELECTRICITY supply.  
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the  
appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply,  
then replace the bulb as follows:  
1. Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by  
pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb  
and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available  
from your nearest Service Force centre).  
Important  
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in  
its cooling unit maintenance and  
recharging must therefore only be carried  
out by authorised technicians.  
2. Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original  
position and replacing the screw.  
Internal cleaning  
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water  
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).  
Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE  
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING  
PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE  
INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE  
SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.  
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular  
intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never  
obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.  
D411  
Important  
Do not use abrasive products.  
When the appliance is not in use  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods  
and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to  
prevent unpleasant smells.  
External cleaning  
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do  
NOT use abrasive products.  
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)  
and the compressor at the back of the appliance,  
with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see the figure.  
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched  
OFF. An accumulation of dust will affect the  
performance of the appliance and cause excessive  
electricity consumption.

Installation  
Positioning  
For this appliance to work efficiently, it must not be  
located where the temperatures will fall below 10¡C  
(50¡F) or rise above 32¡C (90¡F), e.g.  
conservatories.  
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the  
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet  
using your fingers.  
For correct operation this appliance must be located  
in a dry atmosphere, away from heat sources, e.g.  
cookers, radiators, boilers and direct sunlight.  
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely  
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There  
should be 100mm (4Ó) between the top of the cabinet  
and any overhanging kitchen furniture. Alternatively  
allow 50mm (2Ó) between the top of the cabinet and  
any overhanging kitchen furniture and a gap of  
25mm (1Ó) on either side of the appliance.

Door Reversal  
Before carrying out the operations described below,  
pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.  
To carry out this reversal go through the following  
steps:  
1. Gently lay the appliance on its back with the top  
held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of  
packing.  
2. Remove the bottom door hinge (5).  
3. Remove the door (4) by opening it and pulling it  
gently downwards to remove it from the top hinge  
pin (2).  
4. Unscrew the top hinge pin (2) from the top hinge  
(1) and replace it in the opposite hole on the left  
hand side.  
5. Unscrew the foot at the base (6) of the appliance  
and refit it on the opposite side.  
6. Refit the door and the bottom hinge (5) to the left  
hand side.  
7. Unscrew the handle (3). Refit it on the opposite  
side after having pushed in the plugs with a punch.  
Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained  
in the documentation pack.  
When positioning the bottom hinge blade on the  
reverse side, the securing screws will require a  
degree of exersion when fitting.  
It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw  
tips before starting this operation.  
Important  
After completion of the door reversal  
operation, verify that the door gasket is sealing  
onto the cabinet.  
If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in  
Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the  
cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting  
of the gasket or accelerate this process by  
heating up the part involved with a normal  
hairdryer on a low setting.
