[. . . ] 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. Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer. 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. 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 odour. 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. 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 open to prevent unpleasant smells. Defrosting Refrigerator The refrigerator 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 salad drawers. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole. Remember to wash to defrost cleaner in hot soapy water at regular intervals. 10 Freezer The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost reaches 1/4. During this operation it is not necessary to switch of the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty. For complete defrosting (once or twice a year) proceed as follows: 1 Turn the thermostat dial to the "OFF" position (0) or disconnect the appliance from the mains. 2 Remove any food from inside the freezer and fridge; wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool, dry place. 3 When defrosting is complete, dry the interior thorough. 4 Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the thermostat to 5 (coldest) and leave to run for at least two hours. 6 Return the thermostat to the normal position. Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life. [. . . ] Prize out the two white screw covers from the ventilation grille at the bottom of the appliance. Remove the two securing screws and remove the grille.
