Cautions
Disposal of the Old Appliance
Before disposing of an old appliance, please make sure it is inoperative and safe. Unplug
the appliance and remove or destroy all locks in order to avoid the risk of child entrapment.
It must be noted that the refrigeration system contains insulating gases and refrigerants,
which require specialised waste disposal. The valuable materials contained in a refrigerator
can be recycled. Contact your local waste disposal centre for proper disposal of
an old appliance and contact your local authority or retailer if you have any questions.
Please ensure that the pipework of your refrigerator doesnot become damaged prior to
being collected bythe relevant waste disposal centre and contribute to environmental
awareness by insisting on an appropriate, any-pollution method of disposal.
Disposal of the Packaging of your New Appliance
All packaging materials used in the packaging of your newappliance may be disposed of
without any danger to the environment.
The cardboard box may be broken up or cut into smaller pieces and given to a waste paper
disposal service. The wrapping foil is made ofpolyethylene and the polyethylene pads and

Instructions
Cold Storage is for Short-Term Food Storage or Daily Consumption
Although the temperature in most parts of the cold storage compartment can be regulated between 0 and 10
degrees Centigrade, extended periods of food storage are not recommended. Cold storage should only be
used for short-term storage.
Cold Storage Compartment
1. Eggs and Butter
2. Pickled food and Seasonings
3. Beverages and Bottled Food
4. Cooked Food and Milk
5. Meat and Sausages
6. Fruits, Vegetables and Salads
Cautions for Cold Storage
*Hot foodmust be cooled toroom temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in the refrigerator.
It is recommended that food be sealed in suitable storage bags before being placed
in the refrigerator;this will prevent moisture in the food from evaporating and prevent
vegetables and fruit from withering or altering in flavour.

Defrosting - Cleaning - De-commissioning
Defrosting the Cold Storage Compartment
The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall
will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over the compressor, which is
located on the back of the refrigerator. The heat generated by the compressor will evaporate the
water.
Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure
the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod provided to clear any blockages.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odours.
* Disconnect the power before cleaning the refrigerator.
*Do not use a steel brush, strong detergent, hot water, acid or alkali products for cleaning.
*Wipe off water drops on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth.
(1) Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator.
(2) Use a dry cloth to clean the switch, the lamp and the temperature controller.
* Always keep the rubber door seal clean.
* Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.
Cessation of Operation
If apower cut lasts for an extended period, unplug the refrigerator and clean it as
previously described.
Keep the door of the refrigerator open when the power is turned off,to prevent any
food remaining in the compartment from producing bad odours.
Caution: It is recommended that the refrigerator is not turned off in this situation.

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,

A hole should be cut in the supporting
shelf, as shown below
fig. 3

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.
