[. . . ] Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with foods that are already frozen. How to Make Ice Cubes Fill the supplied ice cube tray ¾ full with water and place in the freezer compartment. Turning up the thermostat control will speed up the freezing process, but remember to turn the thermostat control back to its original position. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Do not use sharp or pointed items to remove a frozen ice cube tray from the freezer compartment. Storage Shelves The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow storage of large items. The shelves can be re-arranged by opening the door to 90°. To allow the air to circulate within the fridge compartment do not cover the wire shelves with paper or trays. 8 Hints & T ips Normal Operating Sounds You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. 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 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out. Energy Saving Advice Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer compartment. Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge compartment before being transferred to the freezer compartment. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. External Cleaning Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. 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 salad drawer(s). Use the special cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole. While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes progressively covered with frost. This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 6 mm (1/4"). To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows: 1. Remove any food from inside the ****-star compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place. Turn the thermostat knob to position << 0 >>. [. . . ] Press the retaining lever inside the lower doorhinge Tilt the lower doorhinge out together with the freezer compartment door then remove it from the pin of the freezer compartment door. Remove the rectangular plug and put it into the opening got free on the other side. Having the freezer compartment door turned by 180° put the lower hinge onto the lower pin of the freezer compartment door. Put the upper hinge pin of the freezer compartment door into the free opening, then push the lower hinge into its place together with the freezer compartment door. This operation can be performed by your Lec Customer Care Centre, in which case a charge will be made. 14 Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
