INSTALLATION
Location
When selecting a position for your Fridge/Freezer you should make sure the floor is flat
and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between
16℃and 38℃. Avoid locating your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler

5
or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing
your Fridge/Freezer in an out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that the
Fridge/Freezer is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on
the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. Never place the Fridge/Freezer in a wall recessed or into fitted
cabinets or fumiture when your Fridge/Freezer is working, the grille at the back may
become hot and the sides warm. It must therefore be installed so that the back of the
Fridge/Freezer has at least 9cm(31/2”) of free space and the sides have 2cm(3/4”). Do
not drape the Fridge/Freezer with any covering.
Leveling the Fridge/Freezer
If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected
and may cause you Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly. Once the Fridge/Freezer is placed
in its final location, adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them.
Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the Fridge/Freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then
rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in
warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. The external
parts of the Fridge/Freezer can be cleaned with wax polish. See page 6 for more details
on cleaning.
Before plugging in YOUMUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the
Fridge/Freezer. If not see the section called ELECTRICAL INFORMATION on page 8.
Before switching on!
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30
minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.

Is the Freezer/Fridge cold enough?
If you are at all concerned that your Fridge/Freezer is not being kept cold enough, or you
occasionally wish to check the temperature, you can purchase a Fridge/Freezer
thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place
the thermometer in the Fridge compartment and leave overnight. The correct temperature
Should read between 0℃ and 10℃.
IN USE
Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial
transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it
with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept
cool.

8
Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered.
Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the
internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When
retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in or take it out.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
Cool area
This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, eggs, yogurt,
fruit juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad dressings,
sauces and jams. Fats, eg. Butter, margarine, low-fat speads, cooking fats and lard.
Coldest area: 0℃to 5℃
This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:
·Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
·Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
·Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
·Prepared salads(including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
·Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.

9
Salad bin
This is the most humid part of the Fridge. Vegetables, fruit, fresh salad items eg.
Unwashed whole lettuce, whole tomatoes, radishes etc can be stored here.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN IS WRAPPED.
NOTE：Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at
the bottom of the fridge. This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other
foods. Do not store inflammable gasses or liquids in the fridge.
Label everything
·Many foods look the same when frozen, so careful labeling will help avoid forgetting
what an item is. Storage times being exceeded could cause food poisoning. On home
cooked food add the date as you will then be able to make sure you don not eat food
past the recommended storage period.
·You can buy special Fridge/Freezer labels and pens. Labels come in different colors
which can help you use your Fridge/Freezer effectively. For instance you could color
code meat red and vegetables green. Using a different color label for each quarter of
the year will help you rotate your frozen food more efficiently.
·Write the contents and date. Add the weight and notes on cooking such as “thaw first”,
or “cook from frozen” and keep a separate “log-book” of what is in each drawer. This
will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily.

10
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food
packaging.
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe
dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before
replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge;
however it will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad
bin.
The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces
off food can not enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and
removed any food residues from around the whole, use the “cleaning spike” to make sure
that there are no blockages.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior. Make sure that the
doors are closed to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent

11
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the
Fridge/Freezer
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Trouble Shooting
Power cut
If the internal temperature of the Fridge/Freezer compartment is -18℃ or less when the
power returns, your food is safe. The food in your Fridge/Freezer will remain frozen for
approx 16 hours with the door closed. Do not open the Fridge/Freezer door more than
necessary.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the maximum
setting and wait a few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact the
local store where your purchase was made.
The Fridge/Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown. Plug
In another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working. The Fridge/Freezer
should be placed in a well ventilated room with an ambient temperature of between 16℃
and 38℃. Leave the Fridge/Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Fridge/Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If
the problem continues contact the local store where your purchase was made.
Noises inside the Fridge/Freezer
If you have not owned a Fridge/Freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather
unusual noises. Most noises are perfectly normal; however you should be aware of them!
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It

12
has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault
and will not affect the performance of your Fridge/Freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Moving the Fridge/Freezer
Location
Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also
avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling the Fridge/Freezer
Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the
Fridge/Freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and
may cause your Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly.
Do not turn on the Fridge/Freezer for 4 hours
After the Fridge/Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the
coolant to settle.
