Starting Up and Temperature Regulation  
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicar-  
bonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or deter-  
gent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.  
• When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting  
is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand  
side of the refrigerator compartment.  
Setting “0”: Off.  
Setting “1”: Highest temperature, (warmest setting).  
B
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).  
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature  
inside the refrigerator depends on:  
D726  
-the quantity of food stored  
-how often the door is opened  
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compart-  
ment cannot be independently regulated. If you want to freeze fresh food  
rapidly, select setting “6”, ensuring that the temperature in the refrigerator  
compartment does not drop below 0°C. You should reset the temperature  
control knob to setting “3” or “4”, if this does occur. As soon as the fresh  
food placed in the freezer has frozen, return the temperature control knob  
to “3” or “4. Important!  
Separate parts A, B, C, D as shown in  
the figure  
B

High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on  
the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to  
run continuously. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a  
warmer setting (position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be  
switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.

Low Room Temperature Switch  
PR266  
When the room temperature is +16°  
C or less, the Low Room Temperature  
Switch, located next to the thermo-  
stat control knob, must be switched  
on to maintain the correct tempera-  
tures inside the fridge and freezer  
compartments. Please note that in  
this setting the interior light will  
remain on, even if the door is closed.  
No damage can be caused by leaving  
the switch in this position for any  
period of time (see page 15 Low  
ambient operation).  
Place guide (A) on the inside part of  
the furniture door, in the upper and  
lower positions as shown in the fig-  
ure and mark the position of external

Freezing and Storing Frozen Food  
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.  
Important!  
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder  
before freezing food.  
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The free-  
zing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen  
within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a  
row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the  
rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen  
right through to the core as quickly as possible.  
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause  
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.  
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.  
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)  
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.  
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.  
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-  
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-  
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.  
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when  
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!  
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer.  
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not  
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of  
other frozen goods occurs.  
• Ice cream or ice cream can caused 'frost/freezer burns if consumed strai-  
ght from the freezer.

frozen food could begin to defrost.  
When freezing fresh food, depress the ambient temperature switch (A) 12  
hours before loading the food without modifying the thermostat setting.  
The pilot light will come on. At the end of the freezing process, do not for-  
get to depress again the ambient switch in order to avoid an increase of the  
power consumption.  
Positioning  
This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient  
temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rat-  
ing plate, which is located on the inside left of the appliance.  
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each  
climate classification.

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets  
from appliance and place food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not  
to exceed load limit  
stated on the side of the upper section  
The appliance should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight  
and away from continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not next to  
a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse. If these tem-  
peratures are exceeded i.e. warmer or colder, then the appliance may not  
operate correctly.  
For building-in and door reversal instructions please refer to the relevant  
instructions on the following pages.  
Ice Pack  
There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.  
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen  
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by  
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task efficiently if it is placed  
in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use  
the ice pack for cooling cold bags.

Installation  
Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar  
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.  
Electrical Connection  
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types  
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated sto-  
rage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating  
before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.  
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried  
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.  
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED  
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not  
be observed.  
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as  
that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the  
left behind the salad boxes.  
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having  
to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)  
fuse must be used.  
Defrosting  
Refrigerator  
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator  
compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.  
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at  
the back of the appliance, located over the motor compressor, where it  
evaporates.
