For the Republic of Ireland only The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also used, the 2pin, side earth type. In this case, the wire which is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the EARTH contact, and the other two wires to the pins, irrespective of colour. The supply to the socket must be fitted with a 16 amp fuse. With the appliance plugged in, the interior light should come on when the dooris opened. After adjustment of the temperature, as indicated in the next chapter, the refrigerator is ready for use. FREEZING-IN In the Lxxxl compartment the temperature of -18°C allows the freezing-in of a maximum quantity of 1, 5 kg of foods in 24 h period. During freezing-in, we suggest you turn the thermostat control knob t o position 2-3. Wrap foods to be frozen in aluminium foils or polythene films and label each packet indicating the type of food and the freezing-in date. Please make sure that already frozen foods do not come in contact with fresh foods t o be frozen. Do not store warm foods in the low temperature compartment. Do not re-freeze thawed or partially thawed foods, but use them up within 24 hours or re-freeze after cooking. Do not store liquids in glass containers. ADJUSTMENT OF THE TEMPERATURE PRODUCTION OF ICE CUBES 3/4 fill the ice cube trays, and store in the low temperature Compartment. If the tray sticks t o the compartment, do not try to detach it with sharp or cutting instruments, which could damage the appliance, but use the handle of a spoon. Attenion: Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after their removal from the low temperature compartment, as they may cause cold burns. The thermostat (see figure) controls the temperature inside the appliance. Position 0 means that the operation of the appliance is interrupted (the interior light is off). To obtain the best storage of foods, we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to position 4. To obtain colder temperatures in the compartment, set the thermostat control knob to the higher settings. If the temperature in the compartment is too cold, turn the thermostat control knob to the lower setting (position 1). Internal temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of door opening. The setting of the thermostat may have t o be varied t o allow for these factors. Experience will help you in finding theposition best suited t o your needs. STORAGE OF FROZEN FOODS When buying commercially frozen foods, make sure that wrapper or packets is intact. If it bulges or sags or has spots of moisture on it, it may not have been kept cold enough and the contents may have lost their original quality. When home, store commercially frozen foods in the low temperature compartment L x l with the least possible delay, as any appreciax x, ble rise in temperature may alterate their freshness. Store commercially frozen foods no longer than the packet instructions recommend.
