INSTALLATION
Location and Air Circulation
The appliance must stand vertically on a at, even surface, to level the appliance use the levelling feet by
turning them until the appliance is as level as possible.
Install the appliance in a well ventilated room with an average room temperature of between 18°C
and 38°C. The appliance should not be placed near to sources of heat e.g. cookers, radiators, direct
sunlight or in any unheated rooms e.g. garages, or outhouses, as extreme temperatures will affect the
performance of your appliance.
Do not expose the appliance to damp conditions, open air or rain.
Do not lift the appliance by the pipes or the door when moving.
Never place the appliance in a wall recess, tted cabinet or furniture as this will not allow adequate
ventilation and cause a potential re hazard. Allow 10mm of space at the sides of the refrigerator and 20
– 30mm above the refrigerator. Never push the fridge against the wall, leave at least a 10mm gap.
Providing you follow the recommended ventilation requirements you will:
• Increase the life of the fridge.
• Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of the fridge.
• Minimise operating noises caused by vibration.
Door Fitting
The appliance door can be tted to open to either the left or the right depending on its location. The
appliance must be tilted and supported in order to carry this out. It is advisable to get some help during
this procedure. Take care when tting and tightening screws.

sides before tightening the bottom hinge. Re-adjust the levelling feet to minimise operation noises caused
by vibration.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using your Refrigerator
• Allow 12 hours before turning on the refrigerator to allow coolant gases time to settle after the
refrigerator is in place. Failure to do this may result in damage to the refrigerator and such damage
is not covered by the guarantee.
• Before placing food in the refrigerator, it needs to be cleaned by wiping the interior using warm water
and a soft cloth. Wipe the refrigerator completely dry before replacing any shelves or salad drawers.
Using your Refrigerator
• Once dry plug the refrigerator into the socket.
• Adjust the temperature control which is located inside the refrigerator to between 3 and 4, this is
the correct setting to use in a room with an average ambient temperature of 20°C.
• Allow the refrigerator at least 4 hours before storing any food inside to allow for sufcient cooling
temperature to be reached.
Adjusting the Temperature
The ideal internal temperature of your refrigerator should be between 0°C to 5°C. This is regulated
by the temperature control located internally at the top of the appliance. There are 7 settings on the
temperature control, with position 7 being the coldest setting, position 1 being the warmest setting and 0
being the off position.
The temperature control should be set between 3 and 4 initially and adjusted to achieve the correct
setting for your environment. Avoid setting the thermostat too high, as this may reduce the temperature
to a point where some foods begins to freeze. If this happens turn down the thermostat slightly.
The temperature in the fridge compartment can be monitored by using a fridge Freezer Thermometer.
DO NOT USE a Mercury lled thermometer, as a breakage would cause a health hazard.
Your fridge must NOT be placed in a room where the temperature goes below 18°C or above 38°C for
prolonged periods, as the internal fridge temperature will not be maintained.

9
Using your Fridge Efciently
• Avoid opening the door for long periods or unnecessarily.
• To maintain adequate air circulation, do not over ll the refrigerator.
• Allow hot or warm foods to cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
Storing Food in your Fridge
• 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.
• Keep foods covered to help retain moisture and to help prevent odour. Plastic bags, aluminium foil,
plastic food wrap and containers with lids are ideal.
• Empty left over tinned food into plastic containers. Do not store foods in tins in the fridge.
• Position food in the fridge to allow cold air to circulate freely, making sure that nothing touches
the back wall of the fridge.
Defrosting the Chill Box
After a period of time frost will build up in the chill box. Regular defrosting will therefore be necessary
to maintain the efciency of the refrigerator. Defrosting should be carried out if the frost build-up begins
to interfere with the food storage. The best time to defrost your cool box is when the amount of food
stored is low. To defrost the cool box, please follow the steps below:
1. Take out the frozen food and store in either a spare freezer, refrigerator or wrap well and store in a
cool dry place. Unplug the appliance from the mains supply, making sure not to pull the cord.
Leave the door open, to speed up the defrosting process, bowls of hot water can be placed inside
the refrigerator to raise the temperature.
2. Remove the ice with an ice scrapper. DO NOT use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives,
forks or screw drivers to remove the ice.
3. When all traces of ice have been removed and defrosting is completed, clean away any water and
wipe your refrigerator dry.
4. Clean your refrigerator as described below, plug in and switch back on, setting between 3 and 4
on your temperature control. Allow at least 4 hours for the temperature to return to the adequate
temperature before putting the food back into the refrigerator.
NOTE: Do not use any mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Switch off the electrical supply and remove the plug from the mains socket before cleaning.
Interior
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and cover to help keep cool.
2. Remove all the shelves and salad crisper carefully from the fridge and wash in warm soapy water
with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never replace the shelves or salad crisper into the refrigerator
if wet.
3. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with a damp clean cloth. For extra cleaning use a solution of
one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water.
4. Dry the interior thoroughly with a clean cloth and replace the shelves.
5. Plug in and switch on and allow the temperature in the refrigerator to drop back to an
adequate temperature.
6. Replace the food in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Avoid getting water into the electric components of the refrigerator i.e. the thermostat) as this
may damage your unit.

10
Exterior
Use a clean, damp soft cloth to wipe the exterior surface of the refrigerator and dry thoroughly.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cloths, powders, household cleaners, bleach or wax polish to clean
the refrigerator as these can leave a smell in the refrigerator and can damage the exterior.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the refrigerator and from around the
compressor which is situated at the back of the refrigerator, regularly to maintain adequate ventilation.
Use caution not to damage the coolant system.
Door Seal
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 refrigerator.
Drainage Channel
The drainage channel must be cleaned regularly to prevent a build-up of impurities; this can be found on
the interior back wall of your refrigerator. Use a damp clean cloth and wipe the channel clean, then use a
pipe cleaner or similar exible object to clean the drainage hole to prevent blockages
Going away
If you are going away and do not want to leave the fridge 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 the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section.
Note: Leave the door ajar as this will prevent odours and mould accumulating in the refrigerator and
will allow the refrigerator to dry completely.
Power Cut
In the event of a power cut keep the refrigerator door closed to maintain the temperature inside.
Operating Sounds
You may notice some unusual noises from your refrigerator, these are perfectly normal, but you should
be aware of them.
The compressor can make a buzzing or humming sound when it is running. This can be louder when the
refrigerator is rst switched on but should become quieter in a few months.
Gases owing through the cooling systems can causer gurgling, bubbling or similar sounds. These noises
are normal and have become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases.
Expansion and contraction of parts inside the refrigerator can produce a cracking noise as they rapidly
change temperature.
Changing the bulb
Disconnect the refrigerator from the mains supply. Remove the lamp cover and then unscrew the bulb,
in an anti-clockwise direction and remove bulb. Replace the bulb with a new bulb of the correct size and
type. Replace the lamp cover and then plug back into the mains supply.
