THE CONTROLS
500MM WIDE MODELS:
On 500mm wide models you have the following
controls; (where fitted) which are in the table top,
see fig.10.
1. THERMOSTAT DIAL
The
thermostat
dial
operates
the
fridge
compartment. With the aid of a coin turn the
thermostat dial clockwise to align the Black
Indicator with the required temperature setting.
2. FAST FREEZE CONTROL
By turning the fast freeze control dial (with the aid
of a coin) clockwise to 'I' the fast freeze mode
begins, it is indicated by the amber light (5)
illuminating. When you turn the dial back to 'O' the
amber light will go out and the appliance will return
to normal running.
3. GREEN INDICATOR LIGHT
When the appliance is switched on at the mains,
the green indicator light will illuminate showing that
the appliance is switched on. The light will go out if
the appliance is switched off.
4. RED INDICATOR LIGHT
The red indicator light is the temperature warning
light, it wil! illuminate when the electricity supply is
first switched on or when the freezer temperature
rises above the required storage temperature. The
light will go out when the temperature falls to the
correct storage level.
5. AMBER INDICATOR LIGHT
The amber indicator light is incorporated with the
Fast Freeze switch (2), which overrides the
thermostat when switched on. This allows the
freezer to run continuously. The light will remain
illuminated until the Fast Freeze is turned off.
450MM WIDE MODELS:
On 450mm
wide
models
you only have
a
thermostat control which is situated inside the
cabinet, see fig. 11.
USING YOUR MACHINE
BEFORE USING
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the
appliance with lukewarm
water with a little
bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of
water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell
might linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The
symbol means that your freezer will
store frozen food at -18°C (-0.4°F) or colder for long
term storage and will also freeze fresh food.
If frozen correctly, food will retain texture, colour,
taste and nutritional content.
The
interior
temperature
of the freezer
is
automatically controlled by the thermostat. The
freezer
is designed
to produce
a storage
temperature of -18°C (-0.4°F) or colder. This will
normally be achievadl with a setting of 4 on the
control dial. The
control dial is numbered 6-6.
The higher the number the colder the temperature.
On setting '@' the cooling
system is switched off,
but the appliance is not disconnected from the
electricity Supply.
Due to different installations, methods of usage
and weather conditions, adjustments to the
temperature setting may be required. These are
best assessed against a temperature reading on a
thermometer buried in the frozen food or in a block
of margarine or butter. Remember you must take
your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise rapidly after you remove it.
If colder settings are selected for extra chilling
effect, do not forget to turn the control dial back to
the correct setting afterwards.
FREEZING FRESH FOODS
The refrigerated top shelf in the appliance should
be used as a fast freeze compartment. Any existing
frozen food should be rearranged to leave space
on the top shelf for freezing.
* The Maximum quantity of fresh food you can
freeze in any 24 hours is 8.5kg for 450mm and
8.0kg for 500mm wide models.
Most fresh food will freeze well, however some
freeze more successfully than others. Food with a
low proportion of water such as bread, cakes,
pastry, meat, fish and poultry freeze exceptionally
well. Similarly, game, dairy produce, fruit and
vegetables all keep well in the freezer.
Food with a high water content such as
lettuce
and marrow do not freeze well as the freezing
process breaks down their cellular structure. Other
items which do not freeze well are mayonnaise
because it separates, bananas because they turn
black and whole eggs in their shells because they
crack.
