USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
Operating instructions
Switching on your Fridge Freezer
1. Before your Fridge Freezer is plugged in, open the fridge door and
adjust the thermostat control to the highest setting.
2. Once the Fridge Freezer has cooled down, adjust the thermostat
control to a suitable setting.
Adjusting the temperature
To change the internal temperature of the Fridge Freezer use the
control dial, located inside the fridge. The recommended setting at
normal room temperature is 3-4. The Fridge Freezer may not operate
at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or cold room or
if you open the Fridge Freezer doors very often.
Is the Fridge Freezer cold enough?
If you are concerned that your Fridge Freezer is not being kept cold
enough, and wish to check the temperature, you will need a special
fridge thermometer available from most supermarkets and hardware
shoes. Place the thermometer on the middle shelf of the fridge cabinet
or the middle basket of the freezer, where it can be read easily. Leave
overnight, the temperature in the fridge should be between 2°C and
5°C and -18°C orlower in the freezer. See ‘Adjusting the temperature’.

Noises inside the Fridge Freezer
If you have not owned a refrigerator before, you may notice that it
makes some rather unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
Gurgling, whooshing
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the
cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of
CFC Free gasses. This is not a fault and will not afect the performance of
your Fridge Freezer.
Humming, purring or pulsating
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around
the system.
When you store foods in the fridge
Cool area
This is where to store foods which
will keep longer if they are kept cool.
Milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit juices, hard
cheeses, eg. cheddar. Opened jars
and bottles of salad dressings, sauces
and jams. Fats, eg, butter, margarine,
low-fat spreads, cooking fats
and lard.
Coldest area: o°C to 5°C
This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept
+ Rawanduncooked foods should always be wrapped.
* Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg ready meals, meat pie, soft cheeses.
+ Pre-cooked meats, eg ham.
+ Prepared salads(including pre-washed chopped, pre-packed mixed
green salads, rice, potato salad),etc
* Desserts, eg fromage frais, home prepared food and left overs
or cream cakes.
Salad bin
This is the most humid part of the fridge.
Store vegetables, fruit, fresh salad items, eg. unwashed whole
lettuce, whole tomatoes, radishes, etc here.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN
IS WRAPPED.
NOTE: ALWAYS WRAP AND STORE RAW MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH
ON THE LOWEST SHELF AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRIDGE. THIS WILL
STOP THEM DRIPPING ONTO OR TOUCHING OTHER FOODS.
DO NOT STORE FLAMMABLE GASES OR LIQUIDS IN THE FRIDGE.
