• Do not use other electrical appliances inside the Fridge.
• Do not refreeze food once it has thawed out.
• Do not make any alterations to your Fridge, unless authorised to do so by Britannia.
• The packaging of the machine could be hazardous to children. Please refer to the disposal
instructions on the rear cover.
• Please ensure that you have removed all of the packaging materials and protective tape
from your Fridge before using.
• Please take care when moving your Fridge. It is heavy and we recommend that a
minimum of two people move it. Your Fridge has a wheel in each back corner. You will
ind it easiest to move your Fridge when it is tilted backwards and pushed into position.
• The small quantity of refrigerant used in the Fridge is eco-friendly R600a (an isobutene)
and is lammable/explosive if ignited in enclosed conditions. If the cooler elements have
been damaged and if you suspect a leak, move the Fridge away from any heat sources or
open lame and ventilate the room the Fridge is in for a few minutes.
• Because of the very low temperatures in the Freezer compartment, some foods, such
as ice lollies could cause frost burns if consumed immediately after being removed from
the Fridge.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the Fridge clear from obstruction.
• Do not store medicine or academic research samples that require strict temperature
control in the Fridge.
• When cleaning, do not use sharp implements as they may damage the Fridge.
• Store pre-packed frozen foods in accordance with their instructions and use by date.

Ecological hints and tips:
We have provided a few important hints and tips, so that you can save on the cost of energy
and help protect the environment.
• Do not install the Fridge close to sources of heat such as a radiator or a cooker.
• Install the Fridge in a well ventilated room and keep the openings clear from obstruction.
• Do not install the Fridge on a wet loor or in a location with high humidity/moisture content.
• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the main part of the Fridge
before being transferred to the freezer compartment.
• Pack all foods into airtight packages before placing them into the freezer compartment.
• Do not place food against the turbo fan, otherwise air circulation within the Fridge
compartment will be impaired.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening them too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Clean the condenser on the back of the Fridge at least once a year to make sure it is free
from dust and dirt.

Installation
Installation requirements
Before unpacking and manoeuvring your Fridge, please take the time to read and
become familiar with the following points:
• To avoid risk of injury, please take care when moving your Fridge. It is heavy and we
recommend that a minimum of two people move it. Your Fridge has a wheel in each back
corner. You will ind it easiest to move your Fridge when it is tilted backwards and pushed
into position.
• Make sure that your Fridge can it through all doorways on route to its inal location.
The dimensions of your Fridge (including the handles) are 1700mm high x 610mm wide
x 655mm deep.
Your Fridge should be positioned in a location that meets the following requirements:
• In a dry room that can be ventilated and out of direct sunlight.
• Away from any heat source such as a radiator. If this is unavoidable, a suitable heat
insulator should be used (this is not supplied).
• On a suitable loor that will not become damaged, or sag under the weight of the Fridge.
• At least 500mm away from stoves, ovens and heater cores and 50mm away from
electrical ovens.
• At least 20mm away from another freezer.
• Clearance of at least 200mm is required at the top and back of your Fridge. Do not place
anything on top of your Fridge.

Adjusting the feet
For safe operation, it is important that your Fridge is stable and balanced.
The two adjustable feet at the front are used to level your Fridge.
Make sure that your Fridge is level before placing any foodstus inside it.
1To increase the height of the Fridge, turn the feet clockwise (Figure 4).
2To decrease the height of the Fridge, turn the feet anti-clockwise (Figure 4).

Temperature control
The thermostat (Figure 5) is used to regulate the temperature in the Fridge and the
freezer compartment. It can be set to any value from 15, where 5 is the setting with
the lowest temperature. For normal everyday use we recommend a value of 35.
If ‘.’ is selected the compressor is switched o.
1To decrease the temperature, turn the thermostat dial clockwise.
2To increase the temperature, turn the thermostat dial anti-clockwise.
• We do not recommend that you operate your Fridge in environments colder then 10°C as
eiciency is reduced.
• Your Fridge is designed to operate in an ambient temperature of 16°C to 43°C.

Super switch
The super switch (Figure 6) is used to rapidly cool down the Fridge or for energy eiciency
when the ambient temperature is low (below 16°C) for a long period of time, such as during
the winter.
In normal operation the super switch should be set to (o). You should only set it to on if:
• The ambient temperature is below 16°C for a long period of time.
• When setting up your Fridge for the irst time.

Before using your Fridge
• When using your Fridge for the irst time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright
position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows eicient operation
and prevents damage to the compressor.
• We recommend that you wipe all shelving and trays with a cloth soaked in warm water
mixed with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate before use. After cleaning, rinse with warm
water and dry.
• You may notice a slight odour when using your Fridge for the irst time. This is perfectly
normal and will fade away once the Fridge starts to cool.
• Before using your Fridge, make sure that it has been connected to an appropriate mains
power supply and is switched on at the socket.
• When using your Fridge for the irst time, set the thermostat to a value of 4 and set the
super switch to on for the irst 24 hours. Avoid opening the door while the Fridge is cooling
down and do not place a lot of food inside the Fridge, otherwise it will take longer to reach
operating temperature.
• Your Fridge has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage to the
compressor. When power is applied to your Fridge, it will begin to operate normally after
5 minutes.

Food storage tips
Food storage guidance
To help you use your Fridge eiciently, please take the time to read the following tips
and guidance.
Storage areas:
The circulation of air within your Fridge causes areas of dierent temperatures. It is
recommended that you make use of these areas when storing your food. The coldest area of
the Fridge compartment is at the bottom, above the vegetable drawer. We recommend that you
use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as ish, ready meals, baked goods and
dairy products. The warmest area of you Fridge is the top shelf of the door. We recommend
that you store butter and cheeses on this shelf.
Storing food:
It is best to store your food covered or packaged, to prevent it from drying out, and to
prevent smells aecting other food in your Fridge. Store fruit and vegetables loose in the
vegetable containers. Avoid storing potatoes, onions and garlic in your refrigerator.
Other tips you might ind helpful are:
• Wash your food before storage.
• Allow warm or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps to reduce power consumption.
• Keep as much space as possible between your items of food. This allows the cold air to
circulate freely around them.
• Take care when storing tropical fruit such as pineapples as they can quickly deteriorate in
lower temperatures.
• Divide and separate food into smaller pieces before storage.
• Cover or wrap food to prevent odours. We recommend that you store meat loosely
covered as this allows air to circulate around the meat causing the surface to dry slightly,
helping to prevent the growth of bacteria.
• Do not store food close to the lamp, or block the cover or the cooling compartment.
