Before First Use
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours
prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to
first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and
then thoroughly drying the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as
the appliance cools.
Please note:
The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the
correct temperature.
It takes two to three hours for the fridge and freezer to reach
temperatures appropriate to store food.
If the appliance is switched o, you should allow five minutes
before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the
compressor.

6
Fridge Use
• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be
allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into the
refrigerator.
• Nothing should obstruct the air inlets in the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation
problems which will be dicult to remove.
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before
putting into the fridge.
• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help
prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant
odours.
• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be
stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by
the door being open for prolonged periods.
• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sucient space between
the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep
the temperature low and save energy.
• Only open the door for as long as is necessary. Leaving the
door open for long periods will aect the temperature inside the
appliance and waste energy.
• Ensure all compartments are fully closed after use.

7
Freezer Use
•The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.
•Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully
before putting them into the freezer.
•Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen
food. If no information is provided, foods should not be stored for
more than three months after the purchase date.
•Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This reduces
the freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing.
•Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping
sticking together, ensure it is dry.
•Label the food before freezing with information including type of
food and dates of storage and expiry.
•Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been
completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is required
to prevent wastage.
•Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer
compartment as they could explode.
•Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh food
that can be frozen within a 24 hour period.
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

Chilled Water Dispenser
The chilled water dispenser is used to dispense chilled water without
the need to open the fridge door each time.
Fitting and removal
Before fitting the chilled water dispenser to the fridge door, ensure
that the draught seal around the chilled water chute in the fridge door
is correctly located.
• The seal may have become turned inside-out when the chilled
water dispenser was previously removed.
• Referring to fig. 2 (below), the inner ring of the seal should be
pointing downward before the water dispenser is fitted.
• If the inner ring is pointing upward it may be pushed down to its
correct orientation by gentle finger pressure alone.
Note: There is a slit in this seal to ease fitting: This is not a fault.

open.
In the event that a door is left open for more than two minutes the
appliance will give three beeps once a minute, for ten minutes and
the “ALARM” light will illuminate; this continues until both doors are
properly shut, or until the “Alarm” key is touched.
Defrosting the Fridge
The fridge is cooled by convection using cold air forced through
channels at the rear of the fridge. No defrosting is required.
Defrosting the Freezer
The freezer is frost free and as such is designed not to require
defrosting.
Changing the Light
LED lighting is used in this fridge due to its long life expectancy. In the
unlikely event of light failure this is not user-replaceable. If the light
fails, contact CDA Customer Care.

17
Care and Cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
any cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge sections should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and
dry thoroughly.
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand with soap and
water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.
Keep the door gaskets clean. If damaged, the gaskets should be
replaced.
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and
clean the appliance. The door should be left slightly open to prevent
the formation of mildew and smell.

Troubleshooting
If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check
the troubleshooting prior to calling CDA Customer Care to prevent
unnecessary service calls and potential cost.
The appliance is not working
Check:
• There is power to the appliance.
• The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.
• The fridge is not in “Holiday” mode (“Holiday” light should not be
illuminated on the control panel).
• The plug socket is functioning correctly. To check this, plug another
electrical appliance in to see if the socket is working.
• The temperature of the room is adequate (10°C or above).
The appliance is working, but not very well
Check:
• The appliance is not overloaded.
• The temperature is set to an appropriate level.
• The doors close properly.
• The cooling system at the rear of the appliance is clean and free of
dust, and not touching the rear wall.
• There is enough ventilation at the side and rear walls.
• The temperature of the room is adequate (10°C or above).

19
The appliance is noisy
Check:
• The appliance is level and stable.
• The side and rear walls are clear, and there is nothing resting on the
appliance.
Note: The cooling gas in the refrigerator will make a slight bubbling
noise, even when the compressor is not running.
The freezer gives ten long beeps at minute intervals and/or the
“Alarm” light illuminates, freezer temperature display shows “-”
The most likely cause is that the freezer is too warm.
• Touching the “Alarm” key for 3 seconds will display the highest
temperature the freezer has reached.
• To cancel the alarm, touch the “Alarm” key briefly.
• If a large quantity of food has only recently been added to the
freezer, it is likely that the temperature will resolve itself shortly.
Ensure that the “Super freeze” function is used to help this.
• If there is no obvious cause for the alarm sounding, contact CDA
Customer Care (details on back cover).
