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.
-N.B. If you site this appliance in a garage, out-building or a cold room
where the ambient temperature may fall below 6 to 8 degrees C,
condensation may form on the outer cabinet and ‘pool’ under the
appliance. This is quite normal and does not indicate that there is a
fault with the appliance.
To prevent condensation building up on the outer cabinet ensure that
the ambient temperature is above 8 degrees C.

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.
-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.
-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 right hand wall of the inner cabinet
(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 “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.
N.B. If you site this appliance in a garage, out-building or a cold room where
the ambient temperature may fall below 6 to 8 degrees C, condensation may
form on the outer cabinet and ‘pool’ under the appliance. This is quite normal
and does not indicate that there is a fault with the appliance.
To prevent condensation building up on the outer cabinet ensure that the
ambient temperature is above 8 degrees C.
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 light cover (squeeze/unclip from housing)
-Unscrew the bulb from the rear of the light unit.
-Replace the bulb with a suitable replacement (normally 10W but check the
wattage shown on the bulb).
-Refit the cover and switch the appliance back on.

10
4.5. 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.
Remove the top hinge cover
Lean the appliance back and prop it up securely at the front
Remove the top door hinge screws and remove the hinge bracket
Remove the door from the lower hinge
Now remove the lower hinge bracket and unscrew/remove the central hinge
pin. Turn the hinge over and refit the hinge pin as shown below
Secure the lower door hinge into place on the opposite side of the appliance
Now ensure both levelling feet are in place and secure
Now position the door onto the lower hinge bracket
Now refit the upper hinge bracket on the opposite side of the appliance
Do not fully tighten the screws until you have tested that the door closes
correctly and that the door seal is tight
Now secure all the screws
Refit the top hinge cover.
N.B. Service calls relating to door problems and/or cooling issues will be
chargeable if the fault is found to be due to an incorrect door
reversal procedure carried out by the consumer!
