Section 2. Safety Advice
-Please read this booklet thoroughly before installing and switching on the
appliance. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for incorrect
installation and usage.
-If this appliance is to replace an old refrigerator with a lock, as a safety
measure break or remove the lock and/or door before disposal.
-Your old appliances contain insulation gases and refrigerant that must be
disposed of correctly. Please ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not
damaged before the appliance is taken away for correct disposal in line with
current legislation. If there is any doubt contact your Local Authority for
instructions.
-This appliance may contain the refrigerant isobutene (R600a). This is a natural
gas with a high level of environmental compatibility; however, caution is required
as isobutene is a flammable gas. It is essential to ensure that refrigerant tubes
are not damaged during transportation and the installation of the appliance. In
the event that the refrigerant circuit is damaged, avoid naked flames or sources
of ignition and ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
-Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
-The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
-Do not allow children to play with plastic bags – tear the bag(s) immediately
and ensure that they are placed in a dust-bin out of reach.
-If using an adaptor, this must be used in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions and ensure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded as this
could cause overheating.
-Do not twist or bend the cables, and keep them away from hot surfaces.
-Do not plug ın or unplug this appliance with wet hands.
-Following installation make sure that the power cable is not trapped
underneath the appliance.
-If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, it’s service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.

Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Switching on the Appliance
-Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation.
-Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
-Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the
Temperature Control section (3.2.).
-Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to
be reached.
3.2. Temperature Control
The thermostat is located inside the cabinet (see Description of the Appliance on
page 2). Use the thermostat control knob to adjust the temperature as follows:
-Setting “0”: Unit Off
-Setting “1”: Unit On – Warmest Temperature
-Setting “3” to ”4”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
-Setting “7”: Coldest Temperature
Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to
set the thermostat to the coldest setting (position 7). This may cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the
cabinet.
3.3. Storing & Freezing Food In The Freezer Box
This appliance has a four star freezer-box and is suitable for the long-term storage
of frozen food items. It can also be used for freezing and storing fresh food items.
You should always follow the storage guidelines printed on each food producers
packaging, however the following information is provided as a general guide for
the maximum storage life of frozen items:
- Fresh Meat and Poultry – up to 12 months
- Cooker Meats – up to 2 months
- Fresh Fish – up to 6 months
- Fruit and Vegetables – up to 12 months
- Bread and Cakes – up to 6 months

11
3.4. Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to
the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance.
When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or
pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and you
may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.
3.5. Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker,
dishwasher or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the
air vents are clear
Try to avoid keeping the door open for a long time, warm air will enter the
cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy
consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from
closing properly
Ensure that the door seal is clean and there are no tears or splits.
Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as
cooked meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is
the warmest part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads
and fruits etc. (see Description of Appliance on Page 2)
Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the
fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
3.6. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the door closed. When the power has been
restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the
pre-set operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored food items and
liquids.

Section 4. Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the
appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the interior and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to
0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol.
4.2. External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
There may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be
taken when cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance and the
compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an
accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause
increased energy consumption.
4.3. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents, disconnect
from the electricity supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you
wish to use the appliance again.
4.4. Reversing the Door
The door opening can be reversed from “right hand hinged” to “left hand hinged” if
required. If your appliance is supplied “left hand hinged” simply reverse the
following procedure.
Warning!
When reversing the door, the appliance must not be connected to the mains.
Remove the plug from the mains beforehand.

4.5. What to do if something goes wrong
There is no power to the appliance:
-Check there is not a power cut
-Check there is power to the electric socket/appliance
-Check the fuse in the plug (Must be 13 amp)
The compressor runs continuously:
-Is the door closed correctly?
-Have large quantities of food recently been added to the appliance? – if yes,
allow the interior temperature to recover
-Has the appliance door been opened frequently? – if yes, allow the interior
temperature to recover
The appliance is making a noise:
-Refer to Normal Operating Sounds, section 3.4.
-Ensure that the appliance has been installed correctly (see section 1).
