INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of this quality appliance. We, the manufacturer, trust

that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use. Please read these instructions carefully

before using the refrigerator. This book will provide you with information on how to

operate and care for your appliance in order that you gain the maximum benefit from it.

UNPACKING

• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner. Plastic

bags for example should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and

accidentally suffocating.

• If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your

dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.

INSTALLATION

• The appliance should be positioned in a dry, well aired place away from heat sources

such as stoves, geysers and direct sunlight.

• To avoid misalignment of the doors, it is essential to level the unit by turning the two

adjustable levelling feet at the front of the unit either in or out.

• It is advisable to adjust the cabinet so that it tilts slightly backwards. This will assist

the doors to close by themselves. It will also ensure proper drainage of defrost water

from the cold plate

GETTING STARTED

Switching on

• Push the 15-amp plug into an earthed wall socket and switch on the power.

• Ensure that both the refrigerator and freezer thermostats, located at the interior lamp

housing and the freezer control panel respectively, are not in the off position.

OPERATING THE REFRIDGERATOR

Setting the temperature (refrigerator section)

• A setting midway on the dial should generally give satisfactory results.

• Should it be required, the thermostat may be turned to the right for a lower and to the

left for a higher temperature.

Storage guide

• Do not cover the shelves with paper or anything which could prevent airflow between

the shelves.

• The shelves may be adjusted up or down depending on storage requirements. Lift the

shelf slightly. Pull forward and tilt one side free of the locating slots. Re-position at a

different level in reverse order.

• Avoid placing food wrapped in paper against the cold plate at the back of the

refrigerator. The paper could freeze to the plate and later, during defrosting, slide into

and block the defrost water drain.

• Foods with strong aromas should be stored in sealed containers to prevent flavour

transfer to other foods.

• Separate vegetable crispers enable non-compatible foods to be stored without one

tainting the other.

Note: The side by side refrigerator / freezer has two compressors. One for

the refrigerator and one for the freezer section. This enables both units to

function independently. It is possible to switch off the refrigerator at the

thermostat while the freezer section continues functioning and vice versa.

OPERATION OF THE FREEZER

1 Freezer thermostat (setting the temperature).

• The freezer setting may be adjusted by inserting a coin in the slot and turning the

knob to the desired setting

• A setting midway on the dial should generally give satisfactory results but should it

be required, the thermostat may be turned to the right for a lower and to the left for a

higher temperature.

2 On / Off indicator light (green).

This light glows when there is electrical power to the unit.

3 Fast freeze switch and orange indicator light

Press the pad, located beneath the central light, to activate the fast freeze feature and

again to switch it off. Fast freeze is useful when it is desired to freeze large loads as

quickly as possible. It is not recommended to use the fast freeze function for more than

12 hours. Fast freeze will automatically switch off after 48 hours of operation if it has not

been manually cancelled.

4 Alarm indicator light (red).

The alarm light flashes when the freezer is not sufficiently cold. This may occur just after

the freezer has been loaded with fresh foods, in the event of a power failure or if the door

has inadvertently been left open.

Always react to the alarm light by ascertaining the cause and taking corrective action.

If the light flashes permanently, this indicates that the freezer is not cooling.

Please contact the nearest Defy Service Centre.

No frost system

• The freezer defrosts automatically.

• The freezer will stop operating about 1 to 3 times a day to allow for defrosting.

• The electronic control has a micro-processor which adapts to the demands of the

weather, loading and operating conditions. Taking these into account, it will

automatically adjust the frequency and length of the defrost cycle.

A humming sound may be heard in the freezer. This is normal and is caused by the air

circulation fan. The fan will stop whenever the freezer door is opened thereby minimising

cold air loss.

WARNING:

If the appliance is fitted with a lock, always keep the key in a safe place

where small children cannot reach it.

FREEZING GUIDE

• Operate the freezer for 12 hours before loading it.

• If you are loading bulk into the freezer, load one quarter at a time and allow to freeze

before loading the next quarter.

• Divide food into reasonable portions according to your requirements.

• Allow hot food to cool before putting it in the freezer.

• Seal all foods, or place in airtight containers to prevent dehydration.

• Remember, liquids can increase in volume when frozen. Do not store sealed bottles,

jars or cans in the freezer as the contents will freeze, expand and rupture the

container.

• Do not exceed the expiry date shown on food packs.

• The topmost section of the freezer, behind the flap, is a fast freeze compartment.

Food stored there comes in direct contact with the cold airflow from the fan.

• The storage baskets may be partially or completely pulled out to facilitate loading.

• The baskets are not all the same size and care should be taken, after cleaning or

loading, to replace them in the original order to ensure a correct fit.

• The calendar on the inside of the freezer door serves as a guide and shows the safe

storage period (in months) for the depicted foods.

CLEANING

• Always disconnect the plug from the mains socket before cleaning the appliance.

Remember that turning the thermostats to “0” does not switch the power off to the

unit.

• Clean the inside of the appliance whenever necessary using a solution of warm water

and Bicarbonate of Soda. (1 table spoon to every 2 litres of water).

• Dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use pot scourers or abrasive powders to clean the appliance.

• Spillages, especially citric and acidic juices, must be wiped up immediately as they

could stain the product.

• Always ensure that the defrost drain, below the cold plate in the refrigerator, is clean

and free of obstructions.

• Shelves and freezer baskets may be removed for cleaning purposes.

• The back of the unit may be vacuumed or dusted using a soft bristle brush.

• A mild furniture polish may be used on the exterior cabinet to add lustre and protect

against finger marks.

Important: Ensure that the baffle plate, above the bottom basket in the

freezer section, is placed in position after cleaning. It is an integral part of

the No Frost system.

MAINTENANCE

Replacing the lamp bulb.

• Unplug the power cord at the wall socket.

• Unclip the light cover by gently pulling the rear edge forward.

• Unscrew and replace the bulb by a new one (not exceeding 15 watts).

• Replace the light cover by inserting the clip on its front edge into the slot of the

thermostat housing and then snapping in the clip on the rear edge.

Moisture formation

• If the refrigerator or freezer is located in a hot and humid area, and the door is opened

frequently, water droplets or dew may form on the interior walls of the appliance.

• This has no effect on the performance and the water may simply be wiped up using an

absorbent cloth

Owner’s responsibility

Since the following are not factory faults they are the owners responsibility:

• Damage to the exterior finish.

• Breakage of glass and other components.

• Replacement of light bulbs.

• Damage caused through improper use of the appliance.

• Damage caused by moving the appliance.

• Blocked defrost drain (refrigerator section).

SERVICE

Before calling a service technician to assist with a problem, please check:

• Are any of the thermostats in the OFF position? The thermostats should be set to an

ON position.

• Is the power switched OFF? The power should be ON.

• Has a house fuse blown or a circuit tripped out? Repair or re-set as necessary.

• Is the 15-amp plug pushed firmly into the wall socket? Check another appliance such

as a toaster or kettle in the same socket.

• Has the door been left open for a long time? Close the door and monitor performance.

• Is the drain hole below the cold plate blocked? Clean out the hole with a suitable

flexible wire and then pour a small quantity of Bicarbonate of Soda and water

solution down the hole to rinse away any remaining debris.

Remember that you may be charged for a service call even during the warranty period if

the fault is caused by any of the above.

If you have followed the instructions and still have a problem, contact the nearest

Defy Service Centre. They will be able to advise you on any aspect of the machine or

send a qualified technician to repair it.

The Manufacturer strives for continuous improvements. For this reason, the

text and illustrations in this book are subject to change without notice.
