Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions. [. . . ] Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in the freezer compartment.

D338 Positioning the door shelves To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height. To do this proceed as shown in the diagram. 6 HINTS AND TIPS Normal Operating Sounds · You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out. Energy Saving Advice · · Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer. Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge. Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour, replace the previously removed food into the compartment. Important When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also controlled by the thermostat and will not be operational during this period. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life. 9 SOMETHING NOT WORKING Important: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation a charge will be made, even if the appliance is under guarantee. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, check the following points: Symptom No power to the appliance Solution Check there is power at the socket. Check the fuse has not blown.

Important IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE. Positioning This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: SN N ST T +10°C to + 32°C +16°C to + 32°C +18°C to + 38°C +18°C to + 43°C A 10 mm 100 mm It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature e. g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F). You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. [. . . ]
