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 32℃. Avoid locating your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler
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.

EN
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.
Before filling your Fridge/Freezer
Before storing foods in your Fridge/Freezer, turn the Fridge/Freezer on and wait
for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow the Fridge/Freezer
to fail to the correct temperature. See page 5 for more details.
START
Switching on your Fridge/Freezer
1. Before connecting the Fridge/Freezer to the mains supply position. The
thermostat control dial is located inside the Fridge compartment.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to the “3”position and turn on the electricity. The
compressor and the light inside the refrigerator will begin to work.
3. Wait 24 hours before placing food into the Fridge/Freezer, the temperature
inside your Fridge/Freezer will then be cool enough to chill and freeze foods
sufficiently.

EN
Adjusting the temperature
1. The temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartment is controlled by
the temperature controller installed on the inside wall of the refrigerator
compartment. We strongly recommend you use a freezer thermostat to check
that the temperature is below -18 centigrade before loading any food. This
can take 2-3 hours.
2. The marks on the knob are the temperature grades, NOT the exact degrees
of temperature. “0”is “OFF”AND “7”represents the lowest temperature.
WARNING! This appliance must be placed in a room with
minimum 15°C.
3. Please start with the knob set to position “4”. Use a suitable thermometer to
check the temperature after two hours. The refrigerator temperature should
be set between +2℃and +5℃and the freezer will vary between -18 and -25
degrees centigrade over a typical cycle. To reduce the refrigerator
temperature turns the knob towards”6”and check after one hour.
NOTE: The Fridge/Freezer may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a
particularly hot or cold room or is you open the Fridge/Freezer door too often.
Super Freezing
1. Quick freezing allows moisture inside foodstuffs to form fine ice-crystals which
prevent the cell membrane from being damaged and the cytoplasm being lost
when unfreezing, thus the original freshness and nutrition constituent of
foodstuffs can be retained.
2. Fresh meal and fish to be stored for long time must be done by quick freezing.
To quick freeze turn the temperature knob to setting “6”before adding food.
NOTE: the maximum allowable capacity is 3KG at a time.
3. After quick freezing, turn the knob back to the original position (Normally time

8
EN
for quick freezing shall not exceed 4 hours).
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℃.
Alternatively, place the thermometer in the middle basket of the Freezer
compartment and leave it overnight. The correct temperature should be -18℃or
lower.
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.

EN
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.
