Location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and
the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 38°C.
Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct
sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures
may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage
or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
When installing the unit, ensure that 100 mm of free space is left at both sides, 75 mm at
the rear and 100 mm at the top of the unit. The door can be opened to the right or the left,
depending on what better suits the location. Please ensure there is adequate space for the
door to fully open.
Reversing the Door Swing
Tools required: Philips style screwdriver / Flat bladed screwdriver / Hexagonal spanner
• If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a
qualified technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe
that you are qualified to do so.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door. You should
rest the unit on something solid so that it will not slip during the door change
process. Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system. Ensure
the unit is unplugged and empty.
• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
• Adjust the two levelling feet to their highest position.
• To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the
unit on something solid so that it will not slip during the door reversing process.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.
• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.
• We recommend that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.
1. Tilt the unit slightly towards the rear and
prop it securely. Two people are required
to tilt the unit during the door reversal
process.

Levelling the Unit
To do this adjust the two levelling feet at the front of the
unit.
If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal
alignments will not be covered properly.
Before Using Your Unit
Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is
working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not
be overfilled.
• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the
unit.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant fluid needs time
to settle.
12. Place the fridge door back on. Ensure the
fridge door is aligned horizontally and
vertically so that the seals are closed on
all sides before finally tightening the top
hinge.
13. Insert the hinge bracket and screw it to
the top of the unit (repeat steps 1 and 2
in reverse).
14. Use a spanner to tighten it if necessary.
15. Put the hinge cover back on.
Double check that the fridge door
is aligned correctly and all the seals
are closed on all sides. If necessary,
re-adjust the levelling feet.
Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm
water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves,
drawers and salad bin. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.

Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The
internal temperature of your unit is controlled by
a thermostat. There are seven settings, of which
position 6is the coldest and position OFF turns the
unit off.
2. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired
position, bear in mind that the higher the number,
the lower the temperature. Position 4 is the
recommended setting when operating at normal
room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C).
3. The unit may not operate at the correct
temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a
particularly cold room, or if you open the doors
often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently
chill your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with
food.
5. 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 an average of 5°C. The
correct temperature for the freezer compartment
should be -18°C or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position
is between 1to 4for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between 5to 6for
hotter environments. Please adjust according to the environment.
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.
