Important Safety Instructions
IF PRESSURISED AEROSOL CONTAINERS
BEAR THE WORD ‘FLAMMABLE’ AND/OR A
SMALL FLAME SYMBOL, DO NOT STORE
THEM INSIDE ANY YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER. IF YOU DO SO YOU MAY CAUSE AN
EXPLOSION
When you dispose of your old refrigerator
or freezer, remove any doors. Children can
suffocate if they get trapped inside.
This appliance contains insulation formed with
flammable blowing gases. Avoid safety hazards
by carefully disposing of this appliance.
• The appliance must be plugged into its own dedicated
220-240 Volt, 50 Hz., AC electric outlet.
• Ensure that the electric outlet is properly
earthed to ground. Consult a qualified
electrician if you are unsure.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter
plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by a service technician or a
qualified person .
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before
changing the light bulb to avoid electric shock.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out of
the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
Location
• Choose a place that is not too cold -
the temperature should be above 10°C.
• Put the appliance in a dry place,
avoiding areas of high moisture or
humidity.
• Don’t put the appliance in frosty or
unprotected areas, for example in a
garage or on a veranda.
• Don’t put the appliance in direct
sunlight.
• Don’t put the appliance near stoves,
fires or heaters.
When correctly installed, your appliance should:
• have adequate clearance to the back and sides for air
circulation.
• be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
• have doors that will self-close from a partially open
position.
• have the stability foot in place (see Diagram 5 on page 6) to
prevent the appliance falling forward when a door with heavy
food load is opened.
Clearances around your appliance.
Before you move your appliance into the place where it will
operate check that it will have adequate clearance. Clearance
is required for air circulation and too little clearance may
affect your appliances performance.

Installing your new appliance.
The appliance should
arrive with the front
adjustable rollers wound
down to tilt the top of
the appliance backwards
by about 10-15mm from
upright (See Diagram 1).
The stability foot should
also be wound fully up
so it will not interfere
with the operation of the
rollers (See Diagram 2).
1. Roll the appliance into
its final position.
WARNING: The rollers are designed for forward or
backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving
the appliance sideways may damage your floor and the
rollers.
2. The top of the appliance should be tilted back by
approximately 10-15mm. This will allow the doors to self-
close providing a consistent door seal. (See Diagram 1)
3. If the appliance is not tilted back, you can adjust the
two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut (See
Diagram 2). This will increase the height of the rollers. One
turn of the nut will tilt the appliance back approximately
10mm. If you have difficulty turning the roller nut you can
have someone tilt the appliance back, so that you have
better access. Alternatively, you can access the rollers from
the side, using a flat screwdriver to help you turn the nut
(see Diagram 2).
4. Check the alignment of the appliance to the surrounding
cupboards. The top of the appliance should be level from
side to side (see Diagram 3). If you need to adjust the level,
use the adjustable rollers as discussed in Step 3.
5. If the appliance now rocks from one corner to the
opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven;
you will need to put some packing under one of the rear
rollers.You could use thin pieces of solid material, such as
thin board, vinyl floor tiles or laminate. Place the packing
so that it will sit under one of the rear rollers when the
appliance is rolled into position.
6. On certain floor surfaces the appliance mayroll forward
during operation. Where provided a “Roller Stop” can be
placed under the front rollers. Refer diagram 4.
7. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by
repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.
8. When you have the appliance in final position wind the
stabilising foot down until it just makes contact with the
floor (see Diagram 5). Whenever you need to move the
appliance, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the
appliance can roll freely.
9. Clean your appliance thoroughly following the
instructions on page 12 and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
10. Plug the appliance into the power point. Don’t use
a double adaptor. If you need to roll the appliance
out to get at the power point, remember to raise the
stabilizing foot before you do so.
11. We recommend that you let your appliance run for two
to three hours before you put any food in it. This will allow
you to check that it is operating properly
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
new all refrigerator or vertical freezer.

3 - Installation 4 - Operating your appliance
Initial start up
The appliance transfers heat from food placed inside the
appliance to the outside air.
This process makes the rear, the sides and the area
adjacent to the doors, particularly at initial start up,
feel warm. This is normal.
There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of
the cabinet. This coil cools and removes moisture from
the air. A fan then circulates cold, dry air throughout the
cabinet.
This air circulation means that foods are refrigerated far
more quickly than in appliances where the air remains
relatively static.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will
affect air circulation. (see section “Features at a
Glance)
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This
is normal and will disappear after a few days in most
climates.
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load
or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops,
remove it. Take care to properly close the door and the
frost will not reoccur.
Your new energy efficient appliance uses a high-speed
compressor and other energy efficient components that
may produce different noises to your old appliance.
These sounds are normal and include:
• compressor running noise.
• air movement noise from the small fan motor.
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• a popping noise, heard during defrosting.
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor
starting up.
These noises are normal and not cause for alarm.
Further details can be found on page 13.

Controlling the temperature in your refrigerator
Set the temperature by using the main temperature control
at the rear of the compartment. When you first start your
refrigerator, set the control to MID. The temperature control
is affected by altitude and it is recommended that it be set
warmer to compensate. E.g. At 1000 metres above sea
level set the temperature control to one setting warmer than
MID.
WAIT 24 HOURS AFTER CHANGING SETTINGS: When
you change temperature settings, make small adjustments
and wait 24 hours before assessing whether you need to
make any further changes.
ADJUSTING THE Appliance TEMPERATURE
1. Rotate the knob clockwise to set Colder.
2. Rotate the knob anti-clockwise to set Less Cold.

Controlling the temperature in your vertical freezer
Set the temperature by using the main temperature controls
at the top of the freezer compartment. When you first start
your freezer, set control to MID. The temperature control is
affected by altitude and it is recommended that it be set
warmer to compensate. E.g. At 1000 metres above sea
level set the temperature control to one setting warmer than
MID.
WAIT 24 HOURS AFTER CHANGING SETTINGS: When
you change temperature settings, make small adjustments
and wait 24 hours before assessing whether you need to
make any further changes.
NB: Testing ice cream is a good way to check the freezer
temperature.
ADJUSTING THE FREEZER TEMPERATURE
1. Rotate the knob clockwise to set Colder.
2. Rotate the knob anti-clockwise to set Less Cold.

How to use the features of your
appliance
This section tells you how to make the most of the
appliances many useful features and how to clean them.
Door storage bins (shelves)
The all refrigerator is fitted with door storage bins. You
can adjust these bins to meet different storage needs. All
the door bins are completely removable for cleaning. If
you want to remove or adjust a bin, lift it over the support
lugs on the inner door panel. Push the bin down over the
support lugs to lock it in place.
Dairy compartment
You can use the Dairy compartment to store foods such as
butter, margarine and cheeses. The compartment is slightly
warmer than the rest of the refrigerator compartment.
Crisper Bin
Storing vegetables
You can use the
crisper bin to store
vegetables, fruit or
smallgoods. You can
change the humidity
inside the bin by
rotating the humidity
control.
You should store vegetables in the crisper bin remembering
to set the humidity control to more humid.
Storing fruit & smallgoods
You can also store fruit & smallgoods in the crisper bin
remembering to set the humidity control to less humid.
Crisper Bin and shelf removal
• Remove the crisper bin(s) by pulling forward, then
up and forward.
• Remove the glass (if fitted) by flexing the rear of the
shelf backward to disengage the clip and allowing the
glass to drop out of the plastic frame.
• Remove the crisper shelf by lifting the catches on the
underside of the shelf and pulling the shelf forward.
Sliding Deli Shelf/ Bin (where fitted)
The sliding deli bin allows you to position the deli-bin
in any position within the appliance. This allows you to
conveniently locate it around stored food or to align it with
the multi flow vents for direct cooling.
Usage Instructions:
In order to correctly use the deli bin it should be located
fully on the left or right or in a central position. This will
align the multiflow vents with the ducting surfaces at
the rear of the deli bin. One or both of the vents can be
opened to allow cooler air to pass over foodstuffs stored
in the deli.
The air from these vents can be very cold, which is useful
for the fast chilling of food and drinks. However, items
may freeze if left near the vents. To prevent freezing, move
items away from the vents after chilling.
Cleaning: The sliding deli shelf can be removed for ease
of cleaning. In order to do so a flexible locking mechanism
has been incorporated into the rear shelf rail.
• Remove Deli Bin
• Remove the shelf assembly
by pulling it past the stops.
• Place the full assembly up
side down on a flat surface.
• Slide the sub frame to the left until it engages with
the locking mechanism.
• Pull the thumb tag away from the
rail to disengage it.
• Slide the sub frame past this and
allow it to flex back into position.
Clean the parts as required and allow to
dry. To replace the sub frame repeat this
procedure making sure to align the front
lip on the front shelf recess.
ALL GLASS USED IS SAFETY GLASS.
HOWEVER CAUTION SHOULD BE
TAKEN WHEN REMOVING THE
SHELF FOR REPOSITIONING OR FOR
CLEANING. AS THE ASSEMBLY IS
RELATIVELY HEAVY AND IF HELD IN
THE VERTICAL POSITION (AS SHOWN)
THE RUNNER ASSEMBLY MAY DROP
DOWN.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS!

Spill safe glass shelves (where fitted)
Spill safe glass shelves keep spills on the shelf. A shelf
retaining system minimizes accidental movement of shelves.
The shelves can be adjusted to many different heights. Spill
safe glass shelves are not to be used as slide out shelves.
Split Glass Shelf (where fitted)
This shelf can be used either as a full depth shelf or when tall
items need to be stored at the front of the appliance it can
be collapsed to half its original depth.
To collapse the shelf:
• Pull the front half of the
shelf forward (1), then, from
the underside, lift the front half
of the shelf by raising the rear
edge over the recessed hook
detail (2).
• Pull the shelf forward and allow the rear to drop into the
side channels.
• Push the front shelf backwards (3,4) until it reaches the
rear stops.
Repositioning:
The shelf can be repositioned within the appliance unit by
pulling the whole assembly out until the side panels are free
to pivot down, then pivoting the rear of the shelf until the
shelf is free from the liner runners. The shelf can then be
positioned in any of the runners – this is a very useful feature
if your appliance door happens to have limited access.
Deodoriser (where fitted)
Your appliance is fitted with a catalysing deodoriser to assist
with the removal of food odours inside your appliance.
Odours are removed
by adsorbtion through
the filter by the normal
operation of the
appliance (see diagram
1). Keeping food
covered and wrapping
food with plastic wrap
will also help to reduce
the odours inside your
appliance.
Bottle Snugger operation (where fitted)
The bottle snugger is used to prevent bottles from falling
over. The snugger consists of two parts, a sliding front,
and a rotating retainer ring. The retainer ring can be rotated
through 360° but has positive locations for horizontal and
vertical positions.
The snugger can be used in two positions:
Horizontal
When the snugger ring is
horizontal (A), any item that fits
within the ring can simply be
placed inside it.
Vertical
When the snugger ring is
vertical (B), it is possible to
simply slide the snugger along
the bottle retainer bar until it
is pushed up against a bottle.
Note: the bottle should be
constrained on the other side
by either the end of the bin or
other adjacent bottles.

Freezer Baskets
Freezer baskets and a freezer shelf are fitted to the all freezer
models. Wire baskets are used to provide easy visibility of
the contents. Both the baskets and the shelf pull out for easy
access and have a stop to prevent the basket and shelf being
pulled out to far.
To remove the basket
or shelf, pull it out until
it hits the stop then lift
the front to unhook the
stop whilke continuing
to pull forward,

Cleaning the appliance
BEFORE CLEANING:- REMOVE THE POWER
CORD FROM THE POWER SOCKET. THIS
WILL MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CHANCE OF
GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Exterior
Cabinet
It is a good idea to polish the cabinet at least once a year,
using a high grade wax like the one you use on your car.
After that, an occasional wipe over with a clean, damp cloth
will help remove finger marks.
NOTE: Do not wax plastic parts or decorative trim.Wash these
in warm (not hot) water using an unscented detergent.
Doors - painted
Clean as described above for the cabinet.
Interior
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be
easiest to clean when the food supply is low.Wash the
interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild soap
with luke-warm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and
removable parts. Avoid getting water on appliance controls.
If you have taken out any removable parts, replace them
and switch the power on before re-stocking the appliance
with food. Naturally, you should keep the interior of your
appliance hygienic by promptly and thoroughly wiping up
any food spills.
Keep the door seals clean
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink
can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you
open the door.Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm
water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
WARNING:- Never use hot water, solvents, commercial
kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes,
caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean this
appliance, as they will damage it. Many commercially
available cleaning products and detergents contain
solvents that will damage your appliance. When cleaning,
use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild soap and
luke warm water.
General Information
Safety
It is important to use your appliance safely. This means you
need to supervise young children and infirm persons when
they use it. You need to make sure that young children do
not play with the appliance. Follow the tips below.
DOs
• Check the power point is properly grounded - if you are
not sure get an electrician to check it.
• Switch off the appliance at the power point before you
clean or move it.
• If the supply cord is damaged you should have it replaced
by the manufacturer, it’s service agent or similarly qualified
person. This will prevent a safety hazard.

What to do before calling for service
If you think something may be wrong with your appliance, you can carry out some easy checks before calling for service.
You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience and saving time and money.
Problem Solution
When your appliance
is not operating
• Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly and that the
outlet is switched ‘ON’.
• Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is coming from
the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power
supply.
• Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.
• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or
for a short time after the appliance is switched on.
When there is
noise
Modern refrigerators or freezers with increased storage capacity use high speed
compressors. These can provide a seemingly high level of sound which is quite normal.
Normal operational sounds include:
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• air flow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).
• a popping noise heard during automatic defrost.
• a clicking noise heard just before the compressor starts (this is merely the automatic
switching action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on or off).
Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take action.
For example, noises may mean that:
• the cabinet is not level.
• the floor is uneven or weak.
• bottles are badly placed and rattling.
• there are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the appliance.
• the back of the appliance cabinet is touching the wall.
Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the appliance starts
operating.
If there are
odours inside the
appliance
• the interior may need cleaning.
• some foods produce odours.
• some containers and wrapping can cause odours.
• ask yourself if the odour started about the same time you started storing something
unusual.
When the motor
seems to run
more than
expected
It is normal for the motor to operate frequently. However, to keep operation to a minimum,
check the following:
• Is the door kept open too long or too often?
• Is the control set too cold? See “CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE”.
• Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons
and holidays usually mean a lot more work for your appliance.
• If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the appliance will need to run more than
normal.
• The appliance will run more that normal just after you install it or when it has been
turned off for a long time.

Care & Maintenance
Problem Solution
If the temperature
in the appliance is
too warm
• Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and top.
Refer to the installation Instructions at the front of this booklet.
• refer to “CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE”.
• you may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.
• food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.
If the temperature
in the appliance is
too cold
• refer to “CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE”.
• increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.
If the door will not
close
• check whether the top of the appliance is tilted back 10-15mm to allow the door
to self close.
• check whether something is holding the door open.
If heavy frosting
occurs in the
freezer
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load or remove food. If the door
is left partly open a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops,
remove it. Take care to properly close the door and the frost will not reoccur.
If water drips on
the floor.
The defrost water tray, (located on the compressor at the back of the cabinet), may
not be properly positioned. Otherwise, the drain tube may not be properly positioned
to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the appliance away from the wall
to check the tray and tube.
If you still require service
If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your nearest
Service Centre or the dealer you bought the appliance from.
Be ready to quote the appliance model number and 8 digit serial number, which is stated on the data label inside the
appliance.
