room. The appliance should not be placed
near any heat sources (cookers, heaters
etc.) or in any unheated rooms as the
ambient temperature affects the perfor-
mance of the appliance.
• Do not lift the appliance by the pipes or
the door when moving. Should the ap-
pliance become damaged, contact Lec
Customer Care and do not use the appli-
ance until you are instructed to do so by
a service engineer.
Installation Clearances

thoroughly the inside, and any accesso-
ries with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda (0.5ml to 0.5 litres) and dry with a
soft cloth.
• Leave the appliance to stand for 2 - 3
hours to allow the refrigerant to settle
following installation and cleaning. If the
appliance has been transported horizon-
tally, it must be left to stand vertically for
12 hours before installation.
• Once dry, plug the appliance into the
socket
• Turn the thermostat to the required set-
ting - a medium setting is usually suita-
ble.
• Leave the appliance for at least 4 hours

the appliance. It will damage the appli-
ance.
• Do not install the appliance in moist and
wet place.
• Adjust the feet at front to level the appli-
ance. It should be installed on a smooth
surface to avoid excessive vibration and
noise.
• Each appliance has a climate class (shown
on the rating plate) where it indicates the
temperature range of the appliance op-
eration in place. The appliance may not
work properly if it is left for a long period
atatemperatureoutsidethespecied
range.

Tips for using this appliance
• Before storing cooked foods in the refrig-
erator, allow them to cool to room tem-
perature.
• To maintain adequate air circulation,do
notoverlltheappliance.Ifthereistoo
much food inside,the compressor does
not work as effectively.
• Do not open the door any more than nec-
essary- this will keep the temperature as
cold as possible inside.
• Ices and water ices should not be con-
sumed straight from the freezer - this can
cause ice burns to the tongue and hands.
• Never touch the inside of the appliance,or
any frozen items with wet hands. This can
cause injury to your hands if they stick to
cold surfaces.
• Wrap or cover foods well before storing.
Always make sure that any packaging
is air tight and suitable for use inside a
fridge or freezer.
• Cooked meats and raw meats should be
stored on separate shelves, and raw meat
should not be allowed to drip onto oth-
er foods. Should not be in direct contact
with already frozen food.
• You may hear gurgling noises or a hum-
ming sound while the appliance is in use
and this is perfectly normal when the
compressor is running and the coolant is
moving through the system.
• A clicking sound may be heard, this is the
thermostat and is normal.
• Effervescent(zzy)drinksshouldnotbe
stored in the freezer or low temperature
compartments.
• Do not exceed the storage times recom-
mended by the food manufacturer and
always check expiry dates.
• Do not wash shelf retention in hot water.
The drainage channel
The drainage channel collects water on the
back wall of the refrigerator and ensures that
it is drained away into a drip tray at the rear
of the appliance.
USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Final checks before operating the appli-
ance
1. Good air circulation around the appliance
positioned.
2. The feet have been adjusted for perfect
levelling.
3. Clean the compartment per recommenda-
tion in section “Care and Maintenance”.
4. Plug in the appliance and interior light will
come on when the door is open.
Important: The compressor starts up and in
operation may produce some background
noise and it is normal, this is not a defect.
Storing fresh food
• Use the fridge compartment to store fresh
food and drinks.
• Do not exceed the food capacity that the
appliance able to handle.
• Do not put warm food to the appliance
immediately as it may cause excessive
cooling of the compartment.
• Set the temperature knob at medium po-
sition for storing fresh food.
• Do not mix already frozen food and fresh
food.
The following guidelines and recommenda-
tions are suggested to obtain the best results
and storage hygiene.
• Frequent door openings can cause inter-
nal temperature rise so the door shall be
closed as soon as possible after use.
• For hygiene reasons, it is always a good
practise to pack, wrap and cover the food
before storing.
• Use a polythene bag to store raw meat
and place on the lowest shelf. Avoid con-
tact with cooked food to prevent contam-
ination. For safety reason, store raw meat
for two to three days only.
• Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight
covered containers.
• Food and beverages shall cool to room
temperature before storing.
• Most vegetables should be blanched and
chilled before freezing.
• Bottles can be placed in the door section.
• Some fruits and vegetables like pineap-
ples, melons, tomatoes, and cucumbers
shall be wrapped in polythene bags.
• Do not leave frozen food at room temper-
ature to thaw. You could defrost the food
by putting it in the fridge to thaw slowly.
Make sure you avoid defrosting food or
food juices drip onto other food.
Energy saving tips
• Cover all food stored, and arrange it so
that cold air can circulate freely.
• Higher cold setting will use more energy.
Do not set to maximum cold if it is not
necessary.
• Cool the hot/warm food to room tempera-
ture before put them into your fridge.
• Frequently open and close door would
cause internal temperature rise and it will
consume more energy.
• Close the door(s) properly, and make sure
the seals and hinges are airtight. Check
the seals by putting a sheet of paper
between the door and the main body of
the fridge. If the paper moves, your seals
need replacing.
We recommend a maximum weight of 10kg
per shelf for storage of goods
