[. . . ] Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product. It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance and unplug it. [. . . ] Caution In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen (see page 18). DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE REFROZEN. Thawing 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 refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat or poultry can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. 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, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven. Making ice cubes B The appliance is provided with two plastic ice cube trays. Fill the trays 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and place them in one of the freezer drawers. To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to release the cubes.

This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it frequently. The fresh foods to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality. 15 D009 Drink dispenser The container for cooling drinks (Fig. 16) is located in the door of the fridge. It is easily removed from its runners for filling and cleaning by pushing it upwards from the left side and then by pulling sharply outwards. To pour a drink, press a glass upwards against the tap arms. To stop the flow of liquid remove the glass. Before using the dispenser, we recommend that you rinse it several times with hot water. For thorough cleaning of the container add a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda to the rinsing water. Push the dispenser tap on and off several times to allow sugar deposits from soft drinks or wines to dissolve, or alternatively remove for cleaning by unscrewing in an anticlockwise direction. Empty the container and rinse thoroughly with clean water. If using the dispenser to store fresh fruit juice, particular attention should be paid to the manufacturer's storage instructions. It is also advisable to clean the dispenser thoroughly between every filling, using a sterilising solution. Fig. [. . . ] Have doors been left open causing the temperature to rise?Sometimes the freezer door will be difficult to open shortly after you have closed it. Don't worry this is due to pressure difference which will quickly equalise and allow the door to open normally. Low ambient operation During prolonged periods of low ambient temperatures ie: +10°C and lower, the compressor on a single compressor fridge freezer can remain inoperative during this time. This is due to the air temperature within the refrigerator compartment remaining at 6°C or under thus not calling the thermostat to energise the compressor. [. . . ]
