INSTALLATION
Location and Air Circulation
When selecting a position for your appliance, you should make sure the oor is
at and rm and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature
of between 16°C and 38°C. If the room temperature drops below this, your
fridge may stop working properly.
Locate the appliance away from sources of heat e.g cookers, radiators, direct
sunlight as extreme temperatures will effect how efciently it works.
Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption, extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit to not perform properly.The
appliance is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation; do not drape
the unit with a covering.
Never place the unit in a wall recess or tted cabinets or furniture as this will
not allow adequate ventilation and cause a potential re hazard. When installing
the unit, ensure that 20mm of free space is left at both sides, 20mm at the rear
and 30mm at the top of the unit.This will allow cold air to circulate around and
improve efciency of the cooling process.
Providing you follow the recommended ventilation requirements you will:
• Increase the life of the appliance.
• Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
• Minimise the running costs.
• Minimise operating noises caused by vibration.
Levelling
Once the appliance is positioned in its nal location, it can be leveled using the
adjustable feet at the front of the unit until they are rmly placed on the oor.
Correctly levelling the unit will stop any rocking or vibration and keep the door
aligned, which helps the fridge run reliably and efciently.

10
Door Fitting
The freezer door can be tted to open to either the left or the right depending
on the location.The appliance must be tilted and supported in order to carry this
out. It is therefore advisable to get some help during this procedure. Take care
when tting and tightening the screws.
Tools required: Phillips style screwdriver / Flat bladed screwdriver / Hexagonal
spanner
1. Tilt the unit slowly towards the rear and prop it securely.Two people are
required to tilt the unit during the door reversal process.
2. Remove the 2 screw covers rst, then undo the screws underneath.
3. Remove the 2 screws on the back.
4. Lift the top cover away from the fridge.
5. Remove the 3 screws, then remove the upper hinge that holds the door
in place. Lift the door and place it on a padded surface to prevent it from
scratching.
6. Swap the bottom bushing and bottom bushing cap of the upper door.The
bottom bushing key must be in the correct position to allow it to be inserted
correctly.
7. Remove the lower screws, hinge bracket and adjustable feet from the unit
bottom.
8. Remove the screw-type adjustable feet from another side of the unit bottom
and transfer it to the corresponding position on the opposite side of the unit
bottom.
9. Reattach the 2 lower screws, hinge bracket and adjustable feet to the
opposite side of the unit bottom. Loosely secure.
10. Carefully set the upper door back into place. Ensure the freezer door is
aligned horizontally and vertically so that the seals are closed on all sides
before nally tightening the top hinge. Insert the hinge bracket and screw it
to the top of the unit.
11. Use a spanner to tighten it if necessary.
12. Put the top cover back and x it in place with the screws.
13. With the door closed, check that the door is aligned horizontally and
vertically and that the seals are closed on all sides before nally tightening
the bottom hinge. Re-adjust the leveling feet as needed.

11
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance must be left to stand in an upright position for at least 5 hours
before being switched on for the rst time.
• Before placing food in the appliance turn on and wait 24 hours, this is to
make sure it is working correctly and also to allow for the optimal internal
temperature to be reached.
• The interior of the appliance needs to be cleaned prior to use by wiping with
a soft cloth and using warm water.Wipe the appliance completely dry before
replacing any shelves or salad drawers.
• Once dry, plug the appliance into the mains socket.
• Avoid opening the door for long periods or unnecessarily.
• To maintain adequate air circulation, do not over ll the appliance.
• Allow hot or warm foods to cool to room temperature before storing in the
appliance.
Using the Appliance
• When operating the appliance for the rst time, run it without loading any
food until it automatically stops at the desired temperature. Usually this takes
2 or 3 hours, then set the dial at the setting you desire and add the food.
• The temperature can be adjusted by turning the thermostatic dial.A medium
setting is the most suitable for general operation.
• Defrost the freezer compartment whenever the layer of frost on the surface
of the evaporator reaches 3-4mm.
Noises Inside the Appliance
You may notice that the unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are
perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them.
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling
system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free
gases.This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit.This is
the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

12
Using the Appliance Effectively
• Take note of foods best before / use by instructions and follow the maximum
storage guidelines on the packaging.
• Keep foods covered to help restrain moisture and to help prevent odour
/ avour transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic food wrap and
containers with lids are ideal.
• Avoid opening the foor for long periods or unnecessarily.
• Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing
in the freezer. Hot food will raise the temperature in the fridge and cause the
compressor to work more.
Storing Food in the Appliance
• Pack and store cooked and fresh food separately.
• Wrap raw or defrosting meats and poultry in polythene or foil and ensure
they are stored below any cooked meats to avoid contamination from any
juices that may drip.
• Empty left over tinned food into plastic containers.
• Position food in the fridge to allow cold air to circulate freely, making sure
that nothing touches the back wall of the fridge.

13
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Switch off the electrical supply and remove the plug from the mains socket
before cleaning.
Interior
Note: The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
1. Remove all food from the appliance and cover to help keep cool.
2. Remove all the shelves and salad crisper carefully from the appliance and
wash in warm clean water with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never
replace the shelves or salad crisper into the appliance if wet.
3. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two
tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Rinse with water and
wipe clean.
4. For areas that are difcult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow
sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with
a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary
tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminant accumulation in these
areas.
5. Open the door and allow the interior to dry naturally before replacing the
shelves and salad crisper.
6. Plug in and switch on and allow the temperature in the appliance to drop
back to an adequate temperature.
7. Replace the food in the appliance.
Important: Avoid getting water into the electric components of the appliance
i.e. the thermostat, as this may damage your appliance.
Exterior
• Use a clean, soft cloth dampened in soapy water to wipe the exterior surface
of the appliance and dry thoroughly.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the appliance and
from around the compressor which is situated at the back of the appliance,
regularly to maintain adequate ventilation. Use caution not to damage the
coolant system.
Important: Do not use abrasive cloths, powders, household cleaners, bleach or
wax polish to clean the appliance as these can leave a smell in the appliance and
can damage the exterior.

14
Door Seal
Check the door seal regularly to make sure there are no debris. Use a clean,
damp soft cloth to wipe the door seal and in between the creases, avoid
damaging the door seal as this will affect the performance of your appliance.
Going Away
If you are going away and do not want to leave the appliance left on, switch off at
the socket and remove the plug from the mains sockets ensuring not to pull the
cord.
Remove any food and follow the cleaning instructions in this section.
Note: Leave the door ajar as this will prevent odours accumulating in the fridge
and will allow the unit to dry completely.
Power Cut
In the event of a power cut keep the appliance door closed to maintain the
temperature inside.
Operating Sounds
The cooling gas which circulates in the cooling circuit may make a slight noise
(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is
quite normal.
If these sounds are different check that:
• The appliance is well levelled
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
Changing the Light
The light is an energy efcient, long life LED. Therefore it should not need
replacing throughout the life of the product, however if it does, it is advised to
contact a qualied technician.
1. Remove the light cover
2. Loosen the thermostat knob and fastening screw, and remove the thermostat
box assembly
3. Remove the connector

15
Defrosting
Frost might build up in the unit after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape
away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).
Important: Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost;
do not use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
1. Take out the food, turn the thermostat to the off position and leave the door
open. Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not
possible, wrap the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and
then a thick blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a dry towel at the foot of the unit or drip tray.After the frost has
melted, discard the water and clean up. Wring out the soaked towel as
needed.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit’s interior and exterior and
restart by turning its thermostat to the desired setting.
