Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information. This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. Installation n n n n n n n n This text affects appliances with gas R600a only. [. . . ] The thermostat control dial is marked from 1-6, the higher the number, the colder the setting. Position 1 - minimum Position 6 - maximum Position 0 - Off The temperature within your fridge will be effected by such factors as location, room temperature, frequency of door opening and frequency of defrosting. In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary to achieve the most economic operation. As a guide, in a normal kitchen temperature, a control setting of number 3 or 4 will apply. Thawing Refrigerator Compartment The Dynamic Air Cooling system, which is fitted on the back wall of the refrigerator compartment, provides faster cooling and a more uniform temperature, thereby increasing the storage life of food. The DAC is particularly useful in warm weather conditions and when a large amount of food has been introduced into the compartment. To operate, push the button on the fan switch and the green pilot light will come on. When DAC is switched on, the cold production is higher, thus you should turn the temperature regulator to an adequate position to avoid excessive cold. Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depending on the type of food and the size of the packs. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigeration compartment. Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water, ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping. A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food; follow the oven instructions, with particular regard to the placement of aluminium wrapping in the oven. Important Do not consume ice-lollies which have just come out of the frozen food compartment. Their extremely low temperature can cause frost burns. Do not remove items from the compartment if your hand are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or «frost/freezer burns». Do not keep carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer. Caution In the event of a power cut the food in the frozen food compartment will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the compartment is full. Partially thawed food must not be re-frozen. Do not open the compartment door too often and do not leave open longer than necessary. In some models, on the freezer inner door there is usually an schematic drawing showing the 8 HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This, together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean tht safe handling and storage of food is more important than ever. The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is an as perfect condition as possible. n SOME SIMPLE DOS AND DONTS n DO connect the appliance to an electricity point which is not liable to be switched off accidentally. DO follow the instructions given on the operation of the temperature control to ensure efficient operation. DO wrap and cover foods for perfect storage.
