Instruction Manual | 6
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 it is advisable to set the
fridge to setting 3 and leavethe fridge to settle for 24 hours
before adjusting the temperature to the preferred setting.
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 of the
cavity cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then
dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it
evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a
malfunction of the fridge.
This refrigeration appliance is intended for use as a built-in
appliance

General use of the fridge
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 on Page13)and
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

Instruction Manual | 8
Storage and use
The fridge is for short term food storage. Although the
temperature can be maintained between 0-10˚C, extended
periods of food storage is notrecommended.
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.
1. Butter and eggs
2. Food in jars and bottles
3. Drinks, e.g. milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yoghurts and cheese
6. Fresh meat and fish
7. 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 lower the front section.
When storing root vegetables with leaves, such as carrots or
turnips, their leaves should be removed. This prevents the leaves
from absorbing nutrients from within the vegetables.

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.

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.
If you notice a heavy build up of ice, refer to the
troubleshooting section on ice on page 11.

If 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 (page10)
• 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.
If 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
• 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 not
correctly installed

notice any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact
the Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced
