other inflammables.
To prevent risk of electromagnetic interference or other accidents,
do not place a microwave oven on top of the refrigerator or use any
electric appliance inside the refrigerator.
Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance.
The internal surface of freezer compartment is very cold when the
appliance is running. Do not touch the surface especially when hands
are wet.
Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places
of high humidity that may have adverse effect on the electric
insulation performance.
This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures

General use of the Fridge
Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should
be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put
into the refrigerator.
Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator.
Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away
before putting into the fridge.
Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help
prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid
unpleasant odours.
Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should
be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration
caused by the door being open for prolonged periods.
Do not overfill the fridge. his appliance has a forced air system
allowing the cool air to circulate evenly inside the fridge so their
should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool
air to circulate.
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to
keep the temperature low and save energy.
Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other
produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat
contaminating other foodstuffs.

Crisper drawer humidity adjustment
The crisper drawer within this appliance features a humidity level
adjustment slider. Vegetables and similar produce that are subject to
wilting (e.g. rocket, spinach leaves, herbs such as basil etc.) should
be kept in the crisper drawer and the adjustment slider kept closed
(fully to the left - high). By keeping the adjustment slider closed, water
vapour is held in the drawer and subsequently greens are kept crisper
and fresher for longer.
By contrast, fruits that are susceptible to rotting should be stored in
the crisper drawer with the humidity adjustment slider fully open (to
the right - low). This will allow gases, emitted by certain produce and
that accelerate the rotting process, to exit the crisper drawer. The
drawer is marked high and low with vegetable and fruit symbols to
aid you.
Fresh Zone
The Fresh Zone is a chiller box that keeps food stored at a
temperature between -2°C-3°C and 3°C and the humidity at just the
right level. This will help meat,fish and dairy products stay fresher
for longer and also keep any unwanted odours from the main fridge
compartment.

9
General use of the Freezer
The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.
Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool
fully before putting them into the freezer.
Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of
frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not be
stored for more than three months after the purchase date.
Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1kg). This reduces the
freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing.
Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the
wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.
Label the food before freezing with information including type
of food and dates of storage and expiry.
Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only defrost as
much food as is required to prevent wastage.
Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer
compartments as they could explode.
The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a
24 hour period is 2.5 kg .
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.
To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch on the super freeze
function a few hours prior to placing the food in the freezer.
Note: If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment it is
not suitable for freezing foodstuffs.

Storage
The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although low
temperatures can be maintained, extended periods of food storage is not
recommended. As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the
temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods
should be stored in different sections according to type. Section 7 is the
coldest part of the fridge.

The fridge shelves can be moved according to the storage requirements within
the fridge section. To move the shelf, lift up the rear section and then pull it
outwards. To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and then lower the rear
section.
The wine rack is a fold-able rack that can be pulled down from under the glass
shelf for use or folded back to the shelf to give more storage in the fridge if
not required. If storing wine (75cl Bordeaux bottles) on the bottle rack, the
bottles should be placed with the bottle neck facing the rear wall of the
appliance.

Defrosting the freezer
The freezer has a no frost system which is designed to prevent the
heavy build up of ice. Under normal use, there should be no need to
regularly defrost the freezer system.
To help in times of service or cleaning, the appliance has a forced
defrost mode which can be activated by pressing and holding
buttons E and H in Fig. 3 for approximately 3 seconds. Once
activated the freezer display will flash to confirm. The cycle will
automatically deactivate once the defrost sensor has reached 8°C,
or has run for a maximum of 50 minutes.
Please note: If you are regularly finding a heavy build up of ice, or
pools of water, in the freezer section then it is likely that the door is
not sealing properly. This could be due to a defective door seal or an
incorrectly fitted, or overly heavy, decor door. For more information
see the troubleshooting section on ice on page 16.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is a forced air system so will not require any defrosting.

14
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any
cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge and freezer sections should be cleaned using a solution
of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive
products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand with a mild
solution of washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the
dishwasher.
If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time, unplug
and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly ajar to
prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odours.

15
Troubleshooting
If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the
troubleshooting prior to calling the Customer Care.
If the appliance is not working, check:
That there is power to the appliance.
The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not
blown.
The appliance has not been turned off at the socket or on the
control panel
The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another
electrical appliance in to see if the socket is faulty.
If the appliance is working, but not very well, check:
The appliance is not overloaded.
The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature.
The doors are closing properly.
The cooling system at the rear of the appliance is clean and free
of dust, and not touching the rear wall.
There is enough ventilation at the side,rear walls and
underneath.
If the appliance is noisy, check:
The appliance is level and stable.
The side and rear walls are clear, and there is nothing resting on
the appliance.
Note: The cooling gas in the refrigerator may make a slight
bubbling or gurgling noise, even when the compressor is not
running.
If the appliance is beeping, check:
That the doors are closed. An alarm will sound after 60 seconds
of a door being open.

16
If one or more of the LED units within the appliance is not working:
Contact the Customer Care to arrange a service visit.
If excessive ice has formed in the freezer:
 Check that there is some resistance when opening the door of the
appliance. If it opens at the slightest touch it may mean that the door
seal needs to be replaced or the appliance is incorrectly fitted and
this can be due to the decor door(s) not being properly fitted. If
you are at all unsure, ask your fitter to check the decor doors.
 Check the door seal for any kinks, debris or damage. If you notice
any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact the
Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced.
