[. . . ] FRIDGE FREEZER - MODELS FFA80, FFA70, FFS70 & FFA60 INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION & USE GETTING STARTED: STEP 1 Choose a location for your fridge freezer, away from any heat sources and allow adequate ventilation - 100mm (4 inch) gap above. To ensure that your fridge freezer runs reliably and efficiently follow these steps. STEP 2 Move the fridge freezer into position, using the sides of the cabinet. Take care to avoid damaging the refrigerant circuit pipe work on the rear. SAFETY & INSTALLATION CONTROLS STEP 3 Level the fridge freezer by adjusting the front feet. This will stop rocking or vibration and keep the door aligned. NB. [. . . ] It is recommended to remove the required food, rather than the whole freezer drawer. Note : It is important not to touch or move any of the freezer drawers/parts with wet hands as it may cause freezer burn or discomfort. USEFUL ADVICE Ice Tray When making ice, always use the tray with the lid provided. Uncovered food should not be placed near the ice tray as it can affect the flavour of the ice. Note : Empty, wash and refill the ice tray periodically to ensure freshness. . 15 Defrosting Fridge compartment No manual defrosting required The fridge compartment will defrost automatically. During defrost periods water droplets form on the interior back wall of your Fridge and refreeze afterwards. WARNING: Ensure that stored food does not come into contact with the interior back wall of your Fridge. Also ensure the defrost gutter drain hole is kept clear see `Cleaning' in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section. Freezer compartment Frost Free How Frost Free works The frost free system completely eliminates the need for defrosting. A fan circulates air around the freezer. This helps to remove moisture from the compartment, therefore preventing the build up of ice. It is normal to hear the fan when the freezer is cooling. Additional benefits of the frost free system include: q More even temperatures throughout the freezer. q Faster cooling times. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE 16 Cleaning Cleaning WARNING: Switch off electrical supply and pull out mains plug before cleaning. Interior Note : We recommend you use a straw to keep the defrost gutter drain hole clear of any blockage. DO NOT use sharp metal tools which could cause damage beyond repair. WARNING: Do not use abrasive powder, household cleaner, bleach or wax polish to clean the interior, they will leave a smell in the fridge freezer. Remove stored food, wrap or cover it and place into insulated containers to keep cool/frozen whilst cleaning. Remove salad bins, racks, shelves and drawers from each compartment. Wash in warm water and washing up liquid using a soft cloth, dry thoroughly. DO NOT use any cleaning agents on the wine rack, just wipe with a soft cloth. Wipe interiors and fittings with a clean cloth wrung out in a solution of either one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water or MiltonTM sterilising fluid, diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Dry interior compartments thoroughly with a clean cloth before replacing fittings and food. Note : It is important to ensure that cleaned shelves, racks, drawers and bins are thoroughly dried before refitting into the fridge freezer compartments. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE 1. [. . . ] Expansion and contraction of parts inside the fridge freezer can produce a cracking noise as they rapidly change temperature. The circulating fan in the freezer can make a whirring or buzzing sound as it blows cold air around the compartment.
