adjusting the temperature
Press the Temp button to adjust the internal temperature of the unit. The corresponding indicator will
light up to display the current setting.
noises inside the unit!
You may notice that your 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.
operation
switching on your unit
1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The lights on the control panel will light up for 3
seconds and there will be a long beep.The default temperature for the unit is 5°C.
2. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill your food, wait 24 hours before filling it
with food.
3. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept
cold enough and wish to check the temperature,
you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer.
These are available from most supermarkets
and hardware shops. Place the thermometer in
either the fridge or freezer compartment and leave
overnight. The correct temperature for the fridge compartment should be at the recommended
5°C or lower. The correct temperature for the freezer compartment should be -18°C or lower.
control panel
1. Press the Temp button to adjust
the temperature of the unit. The
corresponding indicator will light up
to display current setting.

tips for keeping food in the unit
• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all parts
of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the
internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the doors.
We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take food out.
preparations for freezing
• Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes
faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better.
• Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible.
• Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
• Don’t freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.
• Use special freezer bags, freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil
(heavy duty grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don’t use aluminium foil for acidic
foods, e.g. citrus fruits. Don’t use thin cling film, glass, or used food containers without cleaning.
• Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump
which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
• Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids to allow expansion.
• You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids
(or solids with liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known as
“Preforming”. Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square
sided container. Freeze it, and then remove it from the container and seal
the bag.
• Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state.
Use special freezer tapes, labels and pens with different colours. This
allows you to easily organise and to effectively use the freezer. Write the
contents and date; otherwise the frozen food might exceed the storage time
and this could cause food poisoning. Please refer to your food packaging
for the recommended storage time.
• You may also add the weight and cooking notes, e.g. “defrost first”, “cook from frozen” and keep
a separate log of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching around
unnecessarily.

defrosting frozen food
1. Take the frozen food out from the freezer compartment and uncover the frozen food. Let it
defrost at room temperature. Don’t forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth
of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
2. Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
3. Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat.
These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
4. Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
5. Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if
you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.
Never re-freeze anything that has been defrosted unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful
bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish. Re-seal packs properly after removing items.
This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build up of frost on any remaining food.
cleaning
cleaning the interior and the exterior of the unit
• Remove all the shelves and drawers.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm
water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves, drawers and
salad bin.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make
sure that the doors are closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seals or inside
the unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

care when handling / moving your unit
Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by
holding the edges of the top surface.
servicing
The unit should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be
used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.
switching off for long periods of time
When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all
food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
condensation
Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room
temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified
technician for assistance.
disposal
Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure
that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your unit and
insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back
of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.
Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new
one can be obtained from your local council office.
When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the door as a
safeguard.
