Beforeyou switchon
Plugin andswitch on Temperature controls
considerthelocation
The room must have a volume of at least
10m3.
To help you avoid pushing your fridgefreezer
too far back against a wall, two spacers have
been provided. They fit by inserting into the
condenser and giving a ¼ turn as shown
below.
Your fridgefreezer should not be installed on
a carpet, this may prevent proper air
circulation.
Your fridgefreezer has been designed to
operate in room temperatures of between
5°C and 32°C. If the room temperature is
below 5°C, the freezer compartment may
become too warm. Do not locate your
fridgefreezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker,
boiler or radiator. Avoid placing in direct
sunlight. An unheated garage or outbuilding
isalsoinappropriate.
If installed next to a source of heat or a
freezer the following minimum side
clearancesshouldbemaintained:
Fromcookers 50mm(2”)
Fromradiators 300mm(12”)
Fromfreezers 25mm(1”)
A 25mm air gap should be left around the
cabinettoallowforfreeaircirculation.

runyourfridgefreezerfor24 hours
Your fridgefreezer is tested and inspected
before leaving the factory. Unfortunately
damage may occur during transportation.

functioning properly before using it to store
food.
adjustingthethermostat
Yourfridgefreezer’stemperatureiscontrolled
by means of a thermostat located in the roof
of the fridge compartment. Settings are from
1to5,withnumber5beingthecoldest.
youcancheckthetemperature
When you first start using your fridgefreezer
you may wish to check it is running at the
correct temperature. You'll need a special
Fridge/Freezer thermometer. These are
available from most supermarkets and
hardwareshops.
Check the thermostat is set midway in its
range. Put the thermometer in the coldest
part of larder (just above the salad bin) or in
one of the freezer drawers. Close the door
andleaveitovernight.
Next morning, read the temperature. It
should be between 0 and 5°C in the larder
and -18°C in the freezer. If it isn't, adjust the
thermostat dial half a number (e.g. from two
and a half to three). Don't forget, the
thermostat numbers are NOT temperature
degrees. The higher the thermostat number,
thecolderthefridgeorfreezerwillbe.

Regular cleaning will keep your fridgefreezer
free from bacteria and germs, ensuring

•Switchoffandunplugfrommainssupply.
•Remove all the shelves, salad drawers
anddoorfittings.
•Wipe the inside with a soft cloth
dampened with a solution of one
teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one
litre of warm water. Rinse with clean

Take care to avoid the light and thermostat
control. Water could cause serious electrical
damage.
Do not use soaps, wire wool, scouring

Toprevent transfer offlavours anddrying out,
food should be separately packed or
covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be
wrapped.
Always let pre-cookedfood cooldown before
you put it in your fridgefreezer. This will stop
the internal temperature of your fridgefreezer
fromrising.
Leave space around food, this will allow cold
airtocirculate.
Cooked meats should always be stored on a
shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial
transfer. Keep raw meat on a plate which is
large enough to collect juices and cover it
withclingfilmorfoil.
Do not exceed the manufacturer’s
recommended storage times for frozen
foods.

Your fridgefreezer contains isobutane
R600a, a gas with high environmental
compatibility but which is also combustible.
When transporting, installing or disposing of
your fridgefreezer care should be taken to
ensurethatnopartsoftherefrigerating circuit
are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the
pipescouldigniteorcauseaneyeinjury.
Ensurethattheapplianceisearthed.
Ensure that the appliance is disconnected
from the mains supply before attempting to
removelightcovers.
Ensure that the appliance is disconnected
from the mains supply before cleaning
internally.
Do not store flammable, corrosive or
explosivesubstancesintheappliance.
Do not allow unsupervised children to use
thisappliance.
Do not remove items from the icebox with
wet hands or eat lollies directly from the
icebox.Lowtemperaturesmaycause‘freezer
burn.’
Donot place fizzydrinks in the freezer as the
containersmayburst.
If there is a power cut, the food in the
icebox in the fridge may start to thaw. To
help prevent this it can be wrapped as if
the fridge is being defrosted. If the power
cut is of such a duration that the food does
begin to thaw it should be used or thrown
away. Do not re-freeze food that has
thawed.
Your cabinet is CFC, HFC and HCFC free and
therefore has no ozone depletion potential
(zero ODP). However, all refrigeration
appliances should be disposed of in a
responsible manner. Ensure that none of the
pipes on the back of the appliance are
damaged prior to disposal. Up to date
information concerning optionsfordisposing
of your old appliance and packaging from
your new appliance can be obtained from
