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.
Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser on the rear of the appliance,
this will ensure an air gap between the appliance and the 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.

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.
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 interior light unit (see
Description of the Appliance on page 3). 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 “0ff”: Unit Off
Setting “1”: Unit On – Warmest Temperature
Setting “3” to “4”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
Setting “6”: 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 6). This may
cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low
temperature in the cabinet.
When the compressor is running continuously the larder fridge will not be able
to carry out automatic defrosting as this can only take place when the
compressor is not in operation (see the ‘Defrosting’ section). Should a layer of
frost develop on the rear wall of the cabinet, turn the temperature regulator back
to a warmer setting (e.g. position ‘1’ or ‘2’), as this will cause the compressor to
switch off and allow automatic defrosting to take place as normal.
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.
Ensure that the defrost water channel and outlet are clean and free of debris
(see Defrosting).
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. Defrosting
The interior of this appliance is cooled using a special cooling plate mounted on
the rear wall. During operation this plate will appear wet but please note that
this is quite normal. Any ice build up on the wall plate will be defrosted whilst
the compressor is not in operation. At the base of the wall plate there is a small
channel and outlet where the defrost water passes to be evaporated above the
compressor unit. It is important that the channel and outlet are kept clean
and free of debris.
If ice build up on the rear wall exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and switch
off the appliance, leave the door open and allow the ice to melt. Do not use
sharp objects to scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the
door and turn on the power to the appliance. 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.
4.4. 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.

4.5. Changing the Interior Light Bulb
Switch off the power supply to the appliance
Remove the screw that secures the interior light perspex cover in place.
Remove the cover and unscrew the bulb.
Replace the bulb with a suitable replacement (Max 15W).
Refit the cover and switch the appliance back on.

the screws.
Place the larder door onto the lower hinge and then refit the upper hinge
into the pre-drilled holes on the left-hand side of the cabinet. Tighten the
screws.
Ensure that the door is correctly aligned and that the seal is sealing
correctly. If the door requires further alignment, slacken off the screws,
re-align the door then tighten the screws.
Now refit the top hinge cover.
4.7. 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)
Check that the thermostat is set to 1 or above (see section 3.2.)
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
Check that the Temperature Control has not been set to maximum
The temperature in the cabinet appears to be too high:
This product is a Larder Refrigerator and has no ice-box. As a result it
will operate at a slightly higher temperature than a refrigerator with an
ice-box.
Check the interior cabinet temperature with a thermometer.
The operating temperature should be within a range of +3 degrees to +10
degrees.

13
There is excessive frost/ice build up:
Ensure that the door has been closed correctly
Ensure that the door seal is clean and sealing correctly
Check that the Temperature Control has not been set to maximum
