Important Safety and Usage
Instructions
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive
acids or alkalis in the appliance.
This is a household appliance, which is produced in accordance with
the national standard. It is intended for food storage only, not for
storage of blood, medicine and biological products.
To prevent risk of fire, keep the appliance away from petrol or any
other inflammables.
To prevent risk of electromagnetic interference or other accidents,
do not place a microwave oven on top of the refrigerator or use any
electric appliance inside the refrigerator.
Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance.
The internal surface of freezer compartment is very cold when the
appliance is running. Do not touch the surface especially when hands
are wet.
Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places
of high humidity that may have adverse effect on the electric
insulation performance.
This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures
between 18-38˚C. Use outside of this range may cause the
appliance to fail.

5
Before First Use
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to
switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first
use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then
thoroughly drying the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance
cools.
When first switching the appliance on the fridge will default to 5°C and the freezer
to -18°C. The figure in the digital display for freezer temperature will flash until the
temperature drops below 0°C.
Please note:
The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct
temperature.
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it
on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in
the appliance.
This fridge cools your food by making the inside back wall of the cavity cold. It is
normal for frost to build up on this surface(see below image) as it is a wet wall
fridge, it then dissipates and drains through a small drain hole at the bottom
where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a
malfunction of the fridge.

6
General use of the Fridge
• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should
be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put
into the refrigerator.
• Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator as this is
a wet wall appliance which during normal usage will form droplets
of ice on the rear wall(ref to image Page 5). This will cause items to
freeze to the back wall.
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before
putting into the fridge.
• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help
prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant
odours.
• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be
stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by
the door being open for prolonged periods.
• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between
the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to
keep the temperature low and save energy.

7
• The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.
• Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool
fully before putting them into the freezer.
• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen
food. If no information is provided, foods should not be stored
for more than three months after the purchase date.
• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This reduces
the freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing.
• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the
wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.
• Label the food before freezing with information including type
of food and dates of storage and expiry.
• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been
completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is required, to
prevent wastage.
• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer
compartments as they could explode.
• Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh
food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period.
• Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.
• To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch on the super freeze
function a few hours prior to placing the food in the freezer.
• Do not use the super freeze function for more than 24 hours. Use
over the recommended time will place unnecessary strain on the
refrigeration system.

Storage
The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although the
temperature can be maintained between 0- 10˚C, extended
periods of food storage is not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can
vary between the different sections. As such, foods should be
stored in different sections according to type. Section 6 is the
coldest part of the fridge.
1. Butter
2. Food in jars and bottles
3. Drinks, e.g. milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yogurts and cheese
6. Fresh meat and fish
7. Wine Rack
8. Fruit and vegetables
The fridge shelves can be moved
according to the storage requirements
within the fridge section. To move the
shelf, lift up the front section and then
pull it outwards. To replace, slide the
shelf back into the slot, and the lower
the front section. (see Fig.2)
If storing wine (75cl Bordeaux bottles)
on the bottle rack, the bottles should

When the fridge freezer is connected to a power supply it will
automatically switch on. It may be switched off without disconnecting
the power supply by pressing and holding the refrigerator button (A)
and the freezer button (E) at the same time for approx. five seconds.
Pressing these two buttons together again for a further five seconds
will switch the fridge freezer back on. Note that when doing this
there may be a delay before the motor starts, this is not a fault with
the appliance.
Twin Thermostat Control.
This appliance works on a twin thermostat system that gives you
control over your fridge or freezer independently allowing you to
turn the fridge off and leave the freezer on, for example if you are
going away on holiday but wish to keep your frozen food frozen, or
you can turn the freezer off when de-frosting without having to turn
off your fridge.
To turn either section off refer back to the relevant section above on
how to adjust the temperature and set the fridge or freezer to zero.
When you are ready to turn back on simply set the temperature
back to your required temperature setting.

12
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance
from the power supply before any
cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge and crisper sections
should be cleaned using a solution
of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm
water. Do not use abrasive products or
detergents. After washing, rinse and
dry thoroughly.
Clean the shelves, drawers and
balconies separately by hand with a
mild solution of washing up liquid and water. Do not put them
in the dishwasher.
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and
the evaporating tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent the
defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The
cleaning rod can be used to clean the drain hole. Always ensure
that the drainage channel, visible at the rear of the appliance,
is kept clear of debris. If you notice that the drain hole/ channel
is iced over, use warm (not boiling) water to remove the ice
blockage.
If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time,
unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly
ajar to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odours.

13
Defrosting the Fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge
through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times using the cleaning tool
supplied.
The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the
appliance and dissipated by evaporation.
Defrosting the Freezer
Once the ice in the freezer is more than 5mm thick the freezer should be
defrosted.
24 hours before defrosting the freezer turn on the super freeze function
to ensure all the food is thoroughly frozen.
Before switching off the freezer to perform the defrost make sure all the
food is securely wrapped in sheets of paper or towels and placed in a cool
place.
When performing the defrost do not use any heaters, hair dryers or
solvents as these may damage to appliance and will invalidate any
warranty.
Turn the appliance off at the control panel and remove all of the freezer
drawers.
Never use any metallic or sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove
the ice as this could damage the lining.
To speed up the defrosting process, place a bowl of warm water in the
base of the freezer compartment.
The freezer should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda
and lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After
washing out, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Once defrosted and all cleaning is complete replace baskets,food and
turn on the appliance.
The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly to ensure
the most efficient running of the appliance.

There is water in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment
• Check the drain hole in the channel at the back of the refrigerator is
clear. If this is blocked refer back to Care and Cleaning (page12)
• Make sure no food or items are touching the back wall of the
fridge as this may cause items to freeze to the back wall and
during the automatic de-frost function water may run on to the
shelves as well as in to the lower part of the fridge.
Ice has formed on the back wall of the fridge
• It is normal for some ice droplets to form on the back wall of the
fridge(see below image)as this is a wet wall fridge. This does not
constitute a fault with the appliance.
• Ensure that no items inside the fridge are in contact with the back
wall.
If excessive ice has formed in the freezer:
• Check that there is some resistance when opening the door of the
appliance. If it opens at the slightest touch it may mean that the door
seal needs to be replaced or the appliance is incorrectly fitted and
this can be due to the decor door(s) not being properly fitted. If
you are at all unsure, ask your fitter to check the decor doors.
• Check the door seal for any kinks, debris or damage. If you notice
any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact the
Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced.
