Use
Freezer
• 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
compartments 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.
• To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch the dial to setting 5 a few
hours prior to placing the food in the freezer.
Note: If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment ( ) it
is not suitable for freezing foodstus.

7
Storage and use
This freezer is suitable for storing deep frozen food (food which has
already been frozen before being added to the freezer), for storing
fresh food for a short period (2-3 weeks) by freezing it and for making
ice and ice cream.
Always remember to observe and adhere to the recommended
expiration date of food.
Fresh food, and food which needs to be
stored for a long period, should be kept
at a temperature of -18°c or below. For
this, we recommend using setting 4 or 5.
If food only needs to be stored for a
short period then a setting of 2 or 3 will
suce.
Please remember: Ice cream or ice for
drinks should be allowed to sit at room
temperature for several minutes before
being used as they can still be cold enough to cause damage to skin
and lips.
Please note: The freezer should be defrosted regularly. If you are
unsure of when then it is advisable to do so when and if the ice layer
reaches 5mm thickness.

washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
• Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the power.
Practical tips
To achieve the most eective food preservation for the longest pos-
sible time and to avoid wasting any food, position the products as
shown in Fig. 1. In addition this figure illustrates the layout of drawers,
and shelves, which allows the most ecient use of energy.
Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend product shelf
life and optimise electricity consumption. Optimal storage temperature
range should be stated on the food packaging.

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.
If the appliance is not working, check the following:
• There is power to the appliance and the green power light is on.
• The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.
• The on/o switch is not set to o.
• The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another
electrical appliance in to see if the socket is faulty.
If the appliance is working, but not very well, check the following:
• The appliance is not overloaded.
• The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature.
• The doors are closing 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.
If the appliance is noisy, check the following:
• 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 may make a slight bubbling
or gurgling noise, even when the compressor is not running.

12
If there is water in the freezer, check the following:
• The appliance has power and the green power light is on.
• There are no items touching the rear wall of the appliance. If there
are, adjust their position so that they no longer touch it.
• That there is some resistance when opening the door of the
appliance. If it opens at the slightest touch it may mean that the door
seal needs to be replaced.
• Inspect the door seal for any kinks, debris or damage. If you notice
any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact CDA
Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced.
If excessive ice or frost has formed in the freezer:
• It is normal for some ice and frost to form in the freezer. This does
not constitute a fault with the appliance. If the ice layer is thicker
than 5mm, try defrosting the appliance.
• Ensure that the thermostat is at the position you intend for it to be
and hasn’t been accidentally set to the highest setting. If the freezer
is set to the maximum, try lowering the setting.
• Check that there is some resistance when opening the door of the
appliance. If it opens at the slightest touch it may mean that the door
seal needs to be replaced.
• Check the door seal for any kinks, debris or damage. If you notice
any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact CDA
Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced.
If the temperature warning light (
!
) is on:
• It may mean that your door seal is defective. Carry out the above
two door seal checks. If the door has been reversed recently, check
page 19. If the problem persists, contact CDA Customer Care.

Installation and Ventilation
This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources, e.g.
heating elements, cookers or in damp places.
• To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the height
adjustable feet at the front of the appliance.
• The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the
rear wall or cabinet.
• The appliance must be
installed with adequate
ventilation. Ensure that
there is clearance above
the appliance to allow air
to escape and that there is
space between the rear of
the appliance and the wall.
Fig. 5 shows the ventilation
requirements for your
appliance. Failure to provide
adequate ventilation can
lead to increased running
costs, premature failure and
may invalidate the warranty
provided with the appliance.
Further information regarding
ventilation is supplied on page
14.

Ventilation
The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into
a fitted kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling
compartment needs to be dissipated into the atmosphere. Incorrect
ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive power
consumption and total system failure. For products intended to be
installed into a housing unit, the following requirements need to be
met:
Important
Please follow the instructions to install this unit.
plan view of rear ventilation gap
The top of the cabinet needs to be
vented into the room
Recommended size of vent opening:
500 x 30mm
If the furniture does not allow free air
into the room then a plinth vent, or other
means of ventilation needs to be pro-
vided to ensure a natural flow of air
There should be space at the rear of the
cabinet to allow cool air to be drawn over
the condenser.
Recommended:
500 x 35mm
An air intake
should be provided
somewhere in
the cabinet run to
allow free air in.
In this example, a
plinth vent is shown
underneath the
refrigerator .
A cutout should be
made in the plinth
below the fridge/
freezer and this
finished neatly using
the air vent grille
supplied.
Alternatively, a thin
section of the plinth
can be removed
to allow air into the
unit (recommended
600mm x 10mm).

The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct
operation of the appliance it is important that the top of the housing
unit is not blocked o. A channel depth of 40-50mm is normal with
most units.
A ventilation hole is required in the plinth of the unit; this allows air to
be drawn over the compressor & heat exchange. A decorative grille
is supplied with the appliance to finish this vent neatly. Alternatively
the required air flow can be achieved by removal of a thin section of
plinth (recommended 600mm x 10mm minimum).
As a rule, the more air that can get in to the furniture cabinet, the
better and more ecient the operation of the product.

Ensuring the door seals correctly:
It is normal for the seal to be compressed after the door has been
reversed.
With the door closed, use a hair dryer to expand the seal and fill the
gap between the door and the body of the appliance.
Take care not to use the hair dryer too close to the appliance, which
could damage the seal. A distance of approximately 10cm should be
adequate.
When completed, allow the seal and door to cool before touching them.
Once done, the seal will remain in position.
