This appliance/s are designed to t into cabinetry with 18mm thickness
This appliance must never be installed close to its sources or cooking appliances. It should also not been stored in damp
locations. Seek the help of another individual, when installing this appliance. Is appliances may have sharp edges. You should
wear adequate protection equipment for the task and installation environment.
To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the height adjustable feet at the front of the appliance
The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the rear wall
The appliance must be installed with adequate ventilation. Insure that there is a clear rinse above the appliance to allow air to
escape and that there is space between the rear of the appliance and the wall
VENTILATION
The main consideration when installing this refrigerator unit into a tted kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling
compartment needs to evaporate into the atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive
power consumption, total system failure and may void the warranty provided with your appliance. What products intended to be
installed into a tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be met.
The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct operation of the appliance it is important that at the top of the
housing unit it is not blocked off. Channel depth of 50 mm is normal with most units. If ventilation hole is required in the plinth of
the unit, this allows air to be drawn over the compressor and heat exchange. Required airow can be achieved by removal of a
thin section of the plinth (recommended 600mm x 10mm minimum)
VENTILATION GRILL
It is recommended that you use the supplied grill vent.
The specications of this are approximately 175mm x 465mm x 20mm.
If you are using your own vent, it must equal the minimum size
opening of the supplied vent. If the furniture does not allow free air into
the room then a plinth vent, or other means of ventilation needs to be
provided to ensure a natural ow of air There should be space at the
rear of the cabinet to allow cool air to be drawn over the condenser.
Recommended: 500 x 35mm (recommended 600mm x 10mm).
Fig. 1 The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct
operation of the appliance it is important that the top of the housing
unit is not blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50mm is normal with
most units. A ventilation hole is required in the plinth of the unit; this
allows air to 15 be drawn over the compressor & heat exchange.
The required air ow can be achieved by removal of a thin section
of plinth (recommended 500mm x 50mm minimum).
As a rule, the more air that can get in and out, the better and more
efcient the operation of your product will be.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE INTO THE CABINETRY
PLACING THE REFRIGERATOR INTO THE CABINET
With the help of another individual, manoeuvre the appliance into the cabinet. Pull the power cord through a pre drilled hole at
the back of the cabinet or a the power point is inside the cabinet, plug in the refrigerator before installing it into the cabinet.
Ensure you do not kink or bend the power cord as damaging the cord could be a safety and re risk.
For safety reasons, only turn the main power on the appliance once the installation process is complete.
Lift and slide the appliance into the cabinet then adjust its position making sure that the top adjustment plate is meeting the
top of the cupboard. Ensure that the appliance is centred in the cabinet cavity checking the side panel and the door gasket is
attached to the front end of the cupboard sides.
Check that the lips of the spacers are lined up with the top lip of the cabinet.
There are two metal plates at the base of the appliance. Fit the supplied spacers as illustrated. Ensure that the step in from the
cabinet base edge to the appliance is the same on both sides.
Using a level, check that the appliance is aligned correctly and using a spanner, adjust the levelling feet as required.
Fix the appliance to the cabinet by screwing through the 2 screw holes in the top plate lip
Fasten the side surfaces of the hinge with screws. Fix one screw to the top hinge and one screw to the bottom
hinge. Then x all other screws to the remaining hinges.
Fasten the hinge side with screws putting one at the top hinge and one at the bottom hinge, check the alignment and then
fasten the remaining screws. Remove the 2 plastic spacers at the bottom and x the appliance to the cabinet base, and re-apply
the spacers (these are also used as covers for the bottom bracket).

ATTACHING THE DOOR PANEL
Close the appliance door and measure from the top of the cabinet cavity to the bottom of the door bracket on both sides
ensuring that the distance is the same. You will need to know this measurement when pre-drilling the xing points in the
decor panel.
Remove the bracket by loosening the hexagonal screws located at the top of the door. Fig.2 Lift the bracket it upwards and it
should come free. Do the same for all doors. Be careful to not bend the bracket.
MOUNTING BRACKET TO THE CABINET DOOR/S
Place the each cabinet door (face down) onto a clean oor or large blanket so it does not get damaged.
Fix the panel bracket to the top of each cabinet door. Measure and adjust to ensure the centre line at the top bracket aligns with
the centre of the decor door. The alignment guides should latch onto the top of the cabinet door.
Using the measurements taken whilst the mounting bracket was xed to the door panel, mark the decor panel on each side and
draw a vertical guide line across the panel. This will show you where to place the base of the bracket. Fig. 4
Then, measure the centre point so you have a denite drill guide for the bracket screws. Use a ‘set square’ to draw these guides.
Once aligned, pre-drill the holes then place the bracket over the guides and screw wood screws to attach the decor bracket to
the cabinet door. Screw into any other xing holes (there should be 10). Fig. 4

MOUNTING THE DOOR PANEL TO THE APPLIANCE
Ensure that there is a gap of 3–4 mm between the non-hinge side of the appliance and the vertical cabinet wall.
Mount the door panel onto the appliance door using the screw thread ad a xing guide.
Screw the bracket back onto to the appliance and use the hex nut to secure and level.
Locate the slider in the bracket and x the slider to the fascia door 20–22 mm from the edge of the fascia as shown in Fig. 5.
Ensuring that the slider is positioned sensually and horizontally within the bracket. Allow for some horizontal movement of the
cabinet door/s. Once you are happy with the alignment of each door, tighten securely by hand then use a spanner to x into
position.
Once you are happy with the alignment and have checked that the door closes and seals properly, x the remaining vertical
brackets provided to the appliance door and decor panel using wood screws
Fit all remaining covers to the appliance, concealing any screw holes and bracket bolts.
Fill the gap on the non-hinged side with the gasket/seal strip provided, as shown in Fig. 6.
Ensure the appliance door opens correctly, closes and seals properly.
Once complete, and you are happy with the t of the appliance in the cabinet, bend and snap the ’T’ parts of the white spaces at
the bottom of the appliance marked S as shown by the dotted outline in Fig. 7.

IMPORTANT
After completing the installation, check that the appliance is secured within the cabinet unit and that the doors close and open
correctly. If there is no resistance from the door seals when opening the doors, then it is probable that the appliance and all decor
doors are not tted properly
REVERSING THE APPLIANCE DOOR - TO BE DONE BEFORE FITTING THE PANEL
We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the doors whilst performing this operation. Always wear
adequate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for the task at hand. Prepare a surface with a soft, clean towel or similar where
you can place the door during these steps.
1. Carefully remove the cover cap for the top hinge and unscrew the screws xing the top hinge to the appliance, you should
support the door whilst doing this.
2. Carefully remove the door from the bottom hinge (by lifting) and place it somewhere safe. Note that there may be spacers
between the door and the hinge; note how many and their position.
3. Swap the previous top hinge to the opposite side at the bottom.
4. Place the door onto the new bottom hinge. Support it.
5. Ret the “new” top hinge and x securely to the appliance.
6. Fit the central cover caps and top hinge cover pieces in place to complete the process.
7. Unscrew all four slider brackets from the door and swap them over to the side furthest from the new hinge positions, before
the decor door is tted.
ENSURING THE DOOR SEALS CORRECTLY:
It is normal for the seal to be compressed after the door has been reversed. With the door closed, use a hair dryer to expand
the seal and ll the gap between the door and the body of the appliance.Take care not to use the hair dryer too close to the
appliance, which could damage the seal. A distance of approximately 10cm should be adequate. When completed, allow the
seal and door to cool before touching them. Once done, the seal should remain in position.

Rev.13052022
BEFORE FIRST USE
You must allow the appliance to settle for at least twenty four (24) hours prior to switching the power on. It is recommended
that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to rst use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then
thoroughly drying the interior. The freezer may have an odour to it at rst use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
DURING USE
• Avoid overcrowding the fridge shelves, as this reduces airow.
• Avoid using shelf liners, as this reduces airow.
• Avoid loading large amounts or warm food at once
• Allow for good clearances in front of the air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.
• Your refrigerator is at its most efcient when it is 2/3 full.
• Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary
• Organise items in the refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open when accessing items.
BEFORE PLACING FOOD IN THE FRESH FOOD OR FREEZER COMPARTMENTS
• Remove all packaging found inside the compartments eg tape, polystyrene etc.
• Clean the inside of the appliance with a mixture of warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and
transportation dust.
• The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator has cooled sufciently.
• Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.
PRACTICAL TIPS
Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber.
The coldest area is directly above the vegetable drawers. Use this area for all delicate and highly perishable food such as:
• Fish, meat, poultry
• Sausage products, ready meals
• Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
• Fresh dough, cake mixtures
• Pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a label stating it should be stored at a temperature of approximately 4°C
The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this area for storing butter and cheese.
To achieve the most effective food preservation for the longest possible time and to avoid wasting any food, position the
products as shown on page 16. In addition this gure illustrates the layout of drawers, baskets and shelves, which allows the
most efcient use of energy.
Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend product shelf life and optimise electricity consumption. Optimal storage
temperature range should be stated on the food packaging.
PLEASE NOTE:
The appliance will start on a factory set temperature setting and work continuously until it comes down to the optimum
temperature. If the appliance is switched off, you should allow ve minutes before switching it on again to prevent possible
damage to the compressor. Never store inammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance.
The ILFRZ freezer cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface;
it then dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of some frosting
is not a malfunction of the freezer.
CRISPER DRAWER HUMIDITY ADJUSTMENT (ILREF256I/2)
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 (ILREF256I/2)
The Fresh Zone is a chiller box that keeps food stored at a temperature between -2°C and 3°C and the humidity at just the right
level. This will help meat, sh and dairy products stay fresher for longer and also keep any unwanted odours from the main fridge
compartment.

DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
DEFROSTING THE ILREF256/2 FRIDGE
The fridge is self defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge,
unless the drain hole is blocked. It is important to keep the channel clear at all times using the cleaning tool/drain plug
supplied. Defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are regularly nding pools of water in the fridge, we noticed that the compressor is always running,
then it is likely that the door is not ceiling properly. This could be due to a defective door seal or incorrectly or over heavy
decor door panel. For more information, see troubleshooting section in this manual.
DEFROSTING THE ILREF256/2 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 (see control panel page 17) for approximately 3 seconds. Once activated the freezer display
will ash to conrm. 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 nding 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 tted, or overly heavy,
decor door. For more information see the troubleshooting section on ice on page 21 & 23.
DEFROSTING THE ILREF316I/2
The fridge is a forced air system so will not require any defrosting.
DEFROSTING THE ILFRZ217I/2 FREEZER
The freezer is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out through the channel at the back of the freezer, unless the drain
hole is blocked. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance and dissipated by
evaporation (when the compressor gets hot).
PLEASE NOTE: If you are regularly nding pools of water in the freezer, frost build-ups, or you notice that the compressor
is always running, then it is likely that the door is not sealing properly. This could be due to a defective door seal or an
incorrectly tted, or overly heavy, decor door.
For more information see the troubleshooting section on ice on page 22.
