• Properly storing foods in the fridge or freezer with the correct
temperature settings can help prevent foods from spoiling easily and
thus help prevent food waste. For example, for peeled or cut veggies,
storing them in the fridge (fresh food area) for 2 to 3 days instead of
leaving then out at room temperature can retain their freshness and
keep them from going bad. Meats and seafoods can be stored in the
freezer (-18°C) for months without going bad.

Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm
water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves, drawers and
salad bin. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
Before Using Your Unit
Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is
working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not
be overlled.
• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with
the unit.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant uid needs
time to settle.
In some cases, the door seal may be crushed after prolonged storing pressure,
resulting to the door seal not able to close properly when reversed.
Follow the steps below to solve the issue:
• Peel o the door seal from the upper or lower corner
and warm it with a hairdryer; the warmth can allow
the door seal to return to its original form. Do not
blow directly on the unit as the warmth may damage
other parts of the unit.
• Rotate the door seal upside down so that the side
originally with the hinge stay with the hinge.
• Insert the door seal back into the door from the upper
or lower corner.
• If the issue still occurs, contact your local service centre for assistance.

Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The internal temperature of your unit is
controlled by a thermostat. There are four settings, of which position 4is the coldest.
2. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired position, bear in mind that the higher the
number, the lower the temperature. Position 2is the recommended setting when operating
at normal room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C).
3. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a
particularly cold room, or if you open the door often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to suciently chill your food, wait 24 hours before
lling it with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept
cold enough and wish to check the temperature,
you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer.
These are available from most supermarkets and
hardware shops.
Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit,
where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the
temperature in the unit should be between -18°C or
lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. 4position is the coldest
setting. The recommended position is 2, but it should be adjusted according to the environment.
Setting 4makes your unit operate at its coldest temperatures (approximately -28°C )
continuously. It helps to quickly freeze and retain more of the goodness of your food. After
freezing your food turn the thermostat control dial back to 2(-18°C). Never freeze large
quantities of fresh food at one time.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not aect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.

Preparations for Freezing
• Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes
faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better.
• Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible.
• Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
• Don’t freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the
freezer.
• Use special freezer bags, freezer lm, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil
(heavy duty grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don’t use aluminium foil for
acidic foods, e.g. citrus fruits. Don’t use thin cling lm, glass, or used food containers without
cleaning.
• Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump
which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
• Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids to allow expansion.
• You can use the space in the freezer most eciently if you freeze
liquids (or solids with liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known
as “Preforming”. Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a
square sided container. Freeze it, and then remove it from the container
and seal the bag.
• Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state.
Use special freezer tapes, labels and pens with dierent colours. This
allows you to easily organise and to eectively use the freezer. Write the
contents and date; otherwise the frozen food might exceed the storage
time and this could cause food poisoning. Please refer to your food
packaging for the recommended storage time.
• You may also add the weight and cooking notes, e.g. “defrost rst”, “cook from frozen” and
keep a separate log of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching
around unnecessarily.
Defrosting Frozen Food
• Take the frozen food out from the unit and uncover the frozen food. Let it defrost at room
temperature. Don’t forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria
and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
• Drain o and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
• Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat.
These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
• Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
• Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use
these if you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.
Never re-freeze anything that has been defrosted unless you cook it again, to kill o
harmful bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellsh. Re-seal packs properly after
removing items. This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build up of frost on any
remaining food.
