Do not connect your appliance to the electricity supply until all packing and transit protectors have been removed. ⷠLeave to stand for at least 4 hours before switching on, to allow compressor oil to settle, if transported horizontally. ⷠIf you are discarding an old appliance with a lock or latch fitted to the door, ensure that it is left in a safe condition to prevent the entrapment of children. [. . . ] Dairy products should be stored in the special compartment provided in the door liner. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crispers. Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (Item 5) and may be set at any position between 1 and 5 (the coldest position). The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5° (+41° C 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 thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept 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. Final Check Before you start using the appliance check that: 1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear. During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where a concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the droplets which have refrozen. If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared with a pipecleaner or similar implement. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor (Item 7). B) Freezer compartment Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting. [. . . ] ⷠTo remove a door tray, remove all the contents and then simply push the door tray upwards from the base. Make sure that the special plastic container at the back of the appliance which collects defrost water is clean at all times.
