Section 1. Installation
IMPORTANT! This appliance must be left to stand in an upright position for
at least 4 hours before being switched on for the first time.
Remove all packaging and securing tape from the appliance.
Wash the interior of the appliance with luke warm water containing a small
amount of bicarbonate soda (5ml to 0.5 litres of water).
Position the appliance in a dry atmosphere and out of direct sunlight.
Do not position next to a cooker or other sources of heat, i.e. radiator.
If positioned next to another fridge or freezer, leave a minimum gap of 2cm
between the appliances in order to avoid condensation.
A clearance of 50mm should be left above the appliance. If this cannot be
achieved you should ensure a clearance of 25mm is maintained on each
side of the appliance.
Please ensure that there is a small ‘air-gap’ between the condenser on the
rear of the appliance and the rear wall.
Do not place or store heavy items on the top of this appliance.
Ensure that the appliance is positioned on a firm flat floor.
This appliance must be level. Adjust the level by screwing the adjustable
feet up or down (use your fingers or a suitable spanner).
Ensure that the appliance is upright and both feet are in firm contact with
the floor so that the cabinet is stable.
Connect the plug to an adjacent 13amp socket outlet and ensure that the
appliance is not standing on the supply cable.
Your appliance is fitted with a unique Frost Protection Thermostat.
The ON/OFF switch located on the interior Thermostat Dial/Light Unit
(see pic.1 below) should always remain in the “OFF” position except
in the following conditions: Where the appliance is located in a garage or
out-building and the ambient temperature has fallen below zero for an
extended period, you may find that the temperature inside the larder unit is
not as cold as normal, if this happens simply press the switch to the “ON”
setting. This will turn the compressor on and the interior temperature will
recover within a few hours. Turn the switch back to “OFF” as soon as the
temperature has recovered. WARNING! DO NOT LEAVE THE SWITCH IN
THE “ON” POSITION FOR MORE THAN 6 HOURS!

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). Thisis a
natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility; however, caution
is required as isobuteneis 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 roomin which the applianceis situated.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Children must never play
in or around the appliance.
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 temperature selector knob is located on the right hand side of the inner
cabinet (see Description of the Appliance on page 2). Please note that a larder
fridge does not have an ice-box and will operate at a slightly higher temperature
than a fridge with an ice-box.
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.
Your appliance is fitted with a unique Frost Protection Thermostat. The
ON/OFF switch located on the interior Thermostat Dial/Light Unit (see pic.1
below) should always remain in the “OFF” position except in the following
conditions: Where the appliance is located in a garage or out-building and the
ambient temperature has fallen below zero for an extended period, you may find
that the temperature inside the larder unit is not as cold as normal, if this happens
simply press the switch to the “ON” setting. This will turn the compressor on and
the interior temperature will recover within a few hours. Turn the switch back to
“OFF” as soon as the temperature has recovered. WARNING! DO NOT LEAVE
THE SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION FOR MORE THAN 6 HOURS!

3.3. 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.
3.4. 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 3).
Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the
fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
Do not put hot food into the fridge – let it cool down first.
3.5. 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. Changing the Interior Light Bulb
Switch off the power supply to the appliance
Remove the screw from the light cover and remove the cover
Unscrew the bulb from the rear of the light unit.
Replace the bulb with a suitable replacement.
