Important
• Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive
acids or alkalis in the appliance.
• This is a household appliance, which is produced in accordance
with the national standard. It is intended for food storage only, not
for storage of blood, medicine and biological products.
• To prevent risk of fire, keep the appliance away from petrol or any
other inflammables.
• To prevent risk of electromagnetic interference or other accidents,
do not place a microwave oven on top of the refrigerator or use
any electric appliance inside the freezer.
• Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance.
• The internal surface of freezer compartment is very cold when the
appliance is running. Do not touch the surface especially when
hands are wet.
• Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places
of high humidity that may have adverse eect on the electric
insulation performance.
• This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures
between 10 and 32˚C. Use outside of this range may cause the
appliance to fail.

6
Before first use
You must allow the freezer 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 freezer may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as
the appliance cools.
Please note:
The appliance will start on temperature setting 3 and work
continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched o, you should allow five minutes
before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the
compressor.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive
acids or alkalis in the appliance.
This freezer cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity
cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates
and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates
harmlessly. The presence of some frosting is not a malfunction of the
freezer.

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.
Note: If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment ( )it is
not suitable for freezing foodstus
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

8
Storage
The freezer is for short-mid term food storage. Although low
temperatures can be maintained, extended periods of food storage is
not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the freezer, the temperature can vary
between the dierent sections. As such, foods should be stored in
dierent sections according to type and storage term. The bottom
sections are the coldest parts of the
freezer.
The top two sections have raisable
flaps that stay open for ease of loading
and unloading. The remaining 5
sections are drawers.
The 6th setting on the control panel,
represented by the snowflake (Fig. 2), is
a super freeze function. This should be
used when freezing large quantities of
food all at once. Activate this function
2 or 3 hours before introducing the
food and do not leave it to run for more
than necessary. Leaving it to run for
longer will place unnecessary strain
on the cooling system. The function
will automatically deactivate after
approximately 24 hours.

Control panel
A. Freezer temperature adjustment sensor
This button is used to adjust the temperature within the freezer. Press
this sensor once to activate adjustment, and then as many times as
necessary until the desired level is selected. The settings range from 1
to super freeze (snowflake) with 1 being the warmest and super freeze
being the coldest.
Please note: Where possible, avoid having the temperature setting on
5 or super freeze (snowflake) all of the time. This well help to alleviate
strain on the compressor and system.
B. Freezer temperature setting display
This display will illuminate the current temperature setting. Adjusting
the temperature will cycle through this display.
Please note: You do not use numbers 1 to 5 or the snowflake to
change the temperature. Instead, use the freezer temperature
adjustment sensor (A).
C. Power button
Use this sensor to switch the appliance on and o (standby mode).
The sensor will be illuminated when the appliance is o.

Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
any cleaning or maintenance.
The drawer 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 compartments separately by hand with a mild solution
of washing up liquid and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
detergents.
If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time,
unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly ajar
to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odours.

11
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out through
the channel at the back of the freezer, unless the drain hole is
blocked. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at
the back of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation (when the
compressor gets hot).
Please note: If you are regularly finding pools of water in the freezer,
frost build-ups, or you notice that the compressor is always running,
then it is likely that the door is not sealing properly. This could be due
to a defective door seal or an incorrectly fitted, or overly heavy, decor
door. For more information see the troubleshooting section on ice on
page 12.
Climate range
The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided
on the rating plate. It indicates at which ambient temperature (that is
room temperature in which the appliance is working) is optimal for the
operation of the appliance.

Troubleshooting
If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the
troubleshooting prior to calling CDA Customer Care.
If the appliance is not working, check:
• That there is power to the appliance.
• The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.
• The freezer has not been turned o (page 9).
• 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 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.
•This can be due to the decor door(s) not being properly fitted,
causing the freezer door to not close properly thus letting warm air
in. If you are at all unsure, ask your fitter to check the decor doors.
If 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 system may make a slight bubbling or
gurgling noise, even when the compressor is not running.

13
If the appliance is beeping, check:
• That the door is closed. An alarm will sound after approximately 60
seconds of a door being open.
If there’s water in the base of the freezer, check:
•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.
•This can be due to the decor door(s) not being properly fitted. If you
are at all unsure, ask your fitter to check the decor doors.
If excessive ice has formed in the freezer:
• It is normal for some ice to form in the freezer. This does not
constitute a fault with the appliance.
•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.
•This can be due to the decor door(s) not being properly fitted. If you
are at all unsure, ask your fitter to check the decor doors.

Installation preparation
This appliance must never be installed
close to heat sources, e.g. heating
elements or cookers, nor in damp
places.
Seek the help of another individual,
or two, when installing this appliance.
This appliance may have sharp edges.
Wear adequate PPE for the task and
environment.
• 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.
The greater the gap, the better.
• 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.
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, total system failure and may invalidate the warranty
provided with the appliance. For products intended to be installed into
a tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be met:
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
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).

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 and out, the better and more
ecient the operation of the product.
Installation into the cabinet
With the help of another individual, or two,
manoeuvre the appliance into the cabinet. There
are two metal plates at the base of the appliance.
Fit the supplied white spacers (Fig. 8) to these
plates, as per Fig. 9.
Ensure that the lips of the spacers are level with the lip of the cabinet
base.
With the base of the appliance aligned correctly with the edge of the
cabinet base, the metal trim at the top of the appliance should sit flush
against the cabinet edge (if it does not, ensure the base is aligned as
per Fig. 9 and that the metal trim in Fig. 10 is not damaged).

Secure the top of the appliance to the top of the cabinet through the
metal trim screw holes marked ‘T’ in fig 10.
Remove the white spacers from the base plates and secure the plates
to the cabinet base using four of the supplied screws. Replace the
spacers.
Mounting the fascia door
•Ensure that there is a gap of 3 to 4mm between the non-hinged
side and the cabinet wall.
•Locate the slider in the bracket and fix the slider to the fascia
door 20 to 22mm from the edge of the fascia as shown in figure
11, ensuring that the slider is positioned centrally and horizontally
within the bracket. Tighten securely by hand.
•Fill the gap on the non-hinged side with the gasket/seal strip
provided, as shown in Fig. 12 (page 18).
•The finished look for the door sliders should be similar to those
shown in Fig. 14, which shows 2 sliders in place.
•Ensure the appliance door opens, closes and seals properly.

Important: After completing the installation, check that the
appliance is secured within the unit and that the door(s) close and
open properly. If there is no resistance from the door seals when
opening the doors, then it is probable that the appliance and/or
decor doors are not fitted properly.

19
Reversing the appliance door
We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the
doors whilst performing this operation. Always wear adequate PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment) for the task at hand. Prepare a surface
with a soft, clean towel or similar where you can place the door during
these steps.
1. Carefully prise o the cover cap for the top hinge and unscrew the
screws fixing the top hinge to the appliance, you should support the
door whilst doing this.
2. Carefully remove the door from the bottom hinge (by lifting) and
place it somewhere safe. Note that there may be spacers between
the door and the hinge; note how many and their position.
3. Swap the previous top hinge to the opposite side at the bottom.
4. Place the door onto the new bottom hinge. Support it.
5. Refit the “new” top hinge and fix securely to the appliance.
6. Fit the central cover caps and top hinge cover pieces in place to
complete the process.
7. Unscrew all four slider brackets from the door and swap them over
to the side furthest from the new hinge positions, before the decor
door is fitted.
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 should remain in position.
