Position 1 = minimum cold Position 6 = maximum cold Turn the thermostat dial to the required position; the intermediate position is usually the most suitable. 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 refrigerator is not defrosting correctly, it is possible that because a very low temperature has been selected and 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. Freezing fresh food It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when freezing fresh food. In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 3 kg. Place food to be frozen in the bottom drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part. To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints: Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most. Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper. 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. The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired. Fig. 6 Positioning the door shelves To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height. To make these adjustments proceed as follows: Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required. Fig. 7 PR189 D040 11 Defrosting Refrigerator The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance above the compressor, 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 drawer. [. . . ] Don't worry this is due to pressure difference which will quickly equalise and allow the door to open normally. If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre. Please make sure you give the model and serial number of the appliance. This information can be found on the rating plate inside the fridge compartment on the left side behind the vegetable drawer, or on the guarantee certificate. [. . . ]
