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 refrigerator.
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.

5
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.
The green power light and the red temperature warning light on the
control panel will be lit when you have plugged the appliance in to
the power supply. The temperature warning light will remain on and
the over temperature alarm will beep until the appliance reaches the
required temperature.
Please note:
The appliance will 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 fridge 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 frosting at the back is not a malfunction
of the fridge.

6
Use
Fridge
• 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 rest against 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.

7
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 on the super frost function
a few hours prior to placing the food in the freezer.
• Do not use the super frost function for more than 24 hours. Use
over the recommended time will place unnecessary strain on the
refrigeration system.

8
Storage
The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although the
temperature can be maintained between 0-10˚C, extended periods of
food storage is not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary
between the dierent sections. As such, foods should be stored in
dierent sections according to type. Section 6 is the coldest part of
the fridge.
1. Butter
2.Food in jars and bottles
3.Drinks , e.g. milk
4.Cooked food
5.Yogurts and cheese
6.Fresh meat and fish
7. Fruit and vegetables
The fridge shelves can be moved
according to the storage requirements
within the fridge section.
To move the shelf, lift up the front
section and then pull it outwards. To
replace, slide the shelf back into the
slot, and the lower the front section.

Care and Cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from
the power supply before any cleaning
or maintenance.
The fridge and freezer 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.
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and
the evaporating tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent the
defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The
drain plug can be used to clean the drain hole.
If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time,
unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly
open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.

Defrosting the Fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the
fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times using the cleaning
tool supplied.
The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of
the appliance.
Defrosting the Freezer
Do not use heaters or defrosting sprays
in this appliance.
Never use any metallic or sharp objects
to remove the ice as this could damage
the lining.
The freezer compartment should be
defrosted regularly to ensure the most
ecient running of the freezer.
Once the ice is more than 5mm thick,
the freezer should be defrosted.

13
• 24 hours before defrosting the freezer, turn the super frost function
on to ensure the frozen food is fully frozen.
• Before switching o the freezer, wrap the the frozen food in sheets
of paper and store it in a cool place.
• Remove the freezer drawers.
• The freezer is equipped with a defrost drainage tube (B) that allows
the defrosted water to drain out of the freezer compartment into
the lower freezer drawer (A). The tube is located in the sill at the
base of the freezer. To extend it out, push the tube forwards and
position the drawer so the water can drain out. Empty the drawer
regularly during defrosting to prevent it from overflowing.
• To speed up the process, place a bowl of warm water in the base of
the freezer compartment.
• The freezer 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 drawers separately by hand with soap and water.
Do not put them in the dishwasher.
• Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.

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 tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be
met: -

The top of the cabinet needs to be
vented into the room
Recommended size of vent opening:
500 x 35mm
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,

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 hole is shown in the base shelf of the unit; this allows air to be
drawn over the compressor & heat exchange. Some installers fit a
decorative plinth vent. In most cases this is not required, but is a
welcome aesthetic addition.
As a rule, the more air can get in, the better and more ecient the
operation of the product.

Mounting the Fascia
Door
• Using a screwdriver, fix the mounting
brackets to the appliance door, as
shown in figure 10.
• Position the appliance within the unit.
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

screws fixing the top hinge to the appliance, you should support the
upper door whilst doing this.
2.Carefully remove the upper door and place it somewhere safe. Note
that there are spacers between the door and the hinge; note how
many and their position.
3.Remove the central hinge by removing the 3 screws fixing it to the
appliance; support the lower door whilst doing this.
4.Remove the lower door and place it somewhere safe, again noting
the position of any spacer pieces.
5.Swap the bottom hinge to the opposite side.
6.Refit the lower door using any spacers and position the central hinge
on the door. After removing the 3 cover caps, fix the hinge securely to
the appliance.
7. The top hinge and replacement cover hinge covers are included in
the fittings pack. Refit the upper door and the new top hinge and fix it
securely to the appliance.
8.Fit the central cover caps and top hinge cover pieces in place to
complete the process.
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
