Section 1: Safety Advice
• Please read this booklet thoroughly before installing
and switching on the appliance. The manufacturer
accepts no responsibility for incorrect installation
and usage.
• If this appliance is to replace an old appliance with a
lock, as a safety measure break or remove the lock
and/or door before disposal.
• Your old appliances contain insulation gases and
refrigerant that must be disposed of correctly.
Please ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not
damaged before the appliance is taken away for
correct disposal in line with current legislation.
If there is any doubt contact your Local Authority
for instructions.
• This appliance may contain the refrigerant isobutene
(R600a). This is a natural gas with a high level of
environmental compatibility; however, caution is
required as isobutene is a ammable gas. It is
essential to ensure that refrigerant tubes are not
damaged during transportation and the installation
of the appliance. In the event that the refrigerant
circuit is damaged, avoid naked ames or sources
of ignition and ventilate the room in which the
appliance is situated.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not allow children to play with plastic bags – tear
the bag(s) immediately and ensure that they are
placed in a dust-bin out of reach.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
• If using an adaptor, this must be used in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions and ensure that
the electrical circuit is not overloaded as this could
cause overheating.
• Do not twist or bend the cables, and keep them
away from hot surfaces.
•Do not plug ın or unplug this appliance with wet
hands.
• Following installation make sure that the power cable
is not trapped underneath the appliance.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
•Ensure the appliance is left in an upright position for
at least 4 hours before you switch it on.

• If positioned next to another fridge or freezer, leave
a minimum gap of 2cm between the appliances in
order to avoid condensation.
• A clearance of 50mm should be left above the appli-
ance. If this cannot be achieved you should ensure
a clearance of 25mm is maintained on each side of
the appliance.

Section 3: Operating
The Appliance
3.1. Switching on the Appliance
•Allow the appliance to stand upright for a minimum
of 4 hours before you switch it on.
•Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains
supply.
•Set the thermostat control to the required setting as
detailed in the Temperature Control section (3.2.).
•Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for
the correct temperature to be reached.
3.2. Temperature Control
The temperature selector knob is located on the r/h wall
inside the refrigerator (see
Description of the Appliance on page 1).
• Setting “0”: Unit O
•Setting “1”: Unit On – Warmest Temperature
•Setting “3” to “4”: Normal Operation (adequate for
most situations)
•Setting “7”: Coldest Temperature
Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer
days, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to
the coldest setting (position 7). This may cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain
a low temperature in the cabinet.
3.3. Storing & Freezing Food in the Freezer
This appliance has a four star freezer that is suitable for
the long-term storage of frozen food items. It can also be
used for freezing and storing fresh food items.
You should always follow the storage guidelines printed
on each food producers packaging, however the
following information is provided as a general guide
for the maximum storage life of frozen items:
•Fresh Meat and Poultry – up to 12 months
•Cooked Meats – up to 2 months
•Fresh Fish – up to 6 months
•Fruit and Vegetables – up to 12 months
•Bread and Cakes – up to 6 months
3.4. Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the
refrigerant is pumped to the cooling system and through
the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the
compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring
sound or pulsating noise.
The thermostat controls the operation of the
compressor, and you may hear a slight click as
it cycles in and out.
3.5. Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the appliance close to sources of
heat, such as a cooker,dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room
and make sure that the air vents are clear.
•Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time,
warm air will enter the cabinet and may cause a
build-up of ice as well as aecting the energy
consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions
preventing the doors from closing properly.
•Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no
tears or splits.
•Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short
shelf-life, such as cooked meats), in the coldest part
of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest
part of your fridge and should be used for
vegetables, salads and fruits etc. (see Description
of Appliance on Page 1)
•Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that
circulates to keep the fridge cold gets blocked and
pockets of warm air form.
•Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer – let it
cool down rst.
3.6. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the doors closed. When
the power has been restored the appliance will start to
operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set
operating temperature. Check the condition of your
stored food items and liquids.

Section 4: Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is
carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the interior and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products,
wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach
or alcohol.
4.2. External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT
use abrasive products. There may be sharp edges on the
underside of the product, so care should be taken when
cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the
appliance and the compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an
accumulation of dust will aect the performance of the
appliance and cause increased energy consumption.
4.3. Defrosting
The fridge compartment will automatically defrost itself.
The rear inner wall of the fridge compartment will at
times appear wet, but this is part of the defrost
process and is quite normal. However, you will need to
defrost the freezer periodically. When ice build-up in
the freezer exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and
switch o the appliance, leave the
door open and allow the ice to melt.
Place the frozen foods items in a cool-bag or wrap
them in thick newspaper. Do not use sharp objects to
scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the
door and turn on the power to the appliance. When the
power has been restored the appliance will start to
operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set
operating temperature.
4.4. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
remove the contents, disconnectfrom the electricity
supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar
until you wishto use the appliance again.
4.5. Changing the Interior Light
•Switch o the power supply to the appliance
•Remove the plastic light cover by sliding it towards
the rear of the fridge
•Unscrew and remove the bulb from the light unit.
