Description of the product features
1) Shelves
oThe shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots within the
interior of the appliance. They are protected from sliding out.
oTo remove a shelf: Take off all of the items that are stored on
the shelf that you want to remove. Then lift the front of the shelf
and carefully pull it out of the grooves.
2) Defrost water outlet
oThe interior of the refrigerator is cooled by the cooling plate that
is on the rear wall. Beneath this there is a channel and an outlet
for the defrost water.
oIt is important that this channel never becomes clogged (see
“Defrosting the refrigerator compartment” for a detailed
explanation of how to keep the channel clear).
3) Crisper drawer and cover
oThe crisper drawer is in the bottom of your refrigerator and there
is a cover that goes over it.
oThe cover helps to prevent fruit and vegetables from drying out
prematurely.
4) Upper door shelf
oThe upper door shelf is suitable for storing eggs, cheese, butter
and yogurt. As well as smaller packages, tubes, cans etc.
5) Bottle shelf
oThe lower shelf should be used for storing reasonably sized
bottles.
oIMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NONE OF THE
SHELVES THAT SIT IN THE DOOR ARE OVERLOADED, AS
THIS WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE THEIR WORKING LIFE.

Using your refrigerator
Before switching on
oMake sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in the installation
instructions.
oAfter delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the
appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant
gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation
process to settle.
oThe outside of the appliance and the removable accessories
contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid
detergent and water.
oThe interior of the appliance should be cleaned
with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in
lukewarm water. The interior and accessories
should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning
process has been completed.
oThere can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
oWhen you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run
continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge
reaches a cool enough temperature.
oDuring this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
oIf the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
connecting it to your mains supply.
