“Door Open” Indicator
(The images are representative)
The freezer door should always be kept
closed. This will prevent food products
from defrosting. Any heavy ice and frost build-
up inside the freezer, and an unnecessary
increase in energy consumption, will be
avoided.
3 USING THE APPLIANCE
“Door Open” Indicator;
The "Door Open" indicator on the handle
shows whether the door has closed properly
or whether it remains open.
If the indicator is red, the door is still open. If
the indicator is white, the door is properly
closed.
3.1 Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates the
temperature inside the fridge. Refrigerator
temperatures can be adjusted by rotating
the thermostat knob to higher or lower
numbers dependent on the required
temperature;
Important note: Do not try to rotate
the knob beyond position 1, it will stop
your appliance from working.
Thermostat knob
Thermostat settings:
1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food
3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food
(standard recommended setting for
average daily use would be 3)
5 : Maximum cooling position. The
appliance will work longer in the
maximum position. This is only
recommended for short term use to cool
the fridge and freezer compartment prior
to adding large amounts of fresh products.
Do not use for more than 24hrs as it may
cause produce in the fridge with a high
moisture content to freeze due to the
reduced internal temperature.
Important Note: The higher the
thermostat is set the more ice will form on
the back wall of the fridge (see page 20
for image). This is perfectly normal and
will defrost and turn to water droplets
during the automatic defrosting operation
of the fridge.
3.2 Temperature Settings Warnings
•Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature ranges stated
in the standards, according to the climate
class stated in the information label. It
is not recommended that your fridge is
operated in the environments which are
outside of the stated temperature ranges.
This will reduce the cooling efficiency of
the appliance.
•Temperature adjustments should be
made according to the frequency of
door openings, the quantity of food kept
inside the appliance and the ambient
temperature in the location of your
appliance.

EN - 13
•When the appliance is first switched on,
allow it to run for 24 hours in order to
reach operating temperature. During
this time, do not open the door and do
not keep a large quantity of food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to
prevent damage to the compressor of

4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
•To reduce humidity and avoid the
consequent formation of frost, always
store liquids in sealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in
the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid
and, in time, your appliance will require
more frequent defrosting.
•Cooked dishes must remain covered when
they are kept in the fridge.Do
not place warm foods in fridge.Place them
when they are cool, otherwise the
temperature/humidity inside the fridge will
increases, reducing the fridge’s efficiency.
•
•
Make sure no items are in direct contact
with the rear wall of the appliance as frost
will develop and packaging will stick to it.
Do not open the refrigerator door
frequently.
We recommend that meat and clean fish
are loosely wrapped and stored on the
shelf just above the vegetable bin where
the air is cooler, as this provides the best
storage conditions.
•Store loose fruit and vegetable items in
the crisper containers.
•
•
Storing fruit and vegetables separately
helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot,
etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser
fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
Do not put wet vegetables into the
refrigerator.
•Storage time for all food products depends
on the initial quality of the food and an
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before
refrigerator storage.
•
•
Water leaking from meat may contaminate
other products in the refrigerator. You
should package meat products and clean
any leakages on the shelves.
Do not allow food to come into contact
with the temperature sensor, which is
located in the refrigerator compartment, in
order to keep the refrigerator compartment
at optimum temperature.
•
•
Consume packaged foods before the
recommended expiry date.
For normal working conditions, it will
be sufficient to adjust the temperature
setting of your refrigerator to run at +4 °C.
•The temperature of the fridge compartment
should be in the range
of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C may
become iced and rotted, bacterial load
increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
•Do not put hot food in the refrigerator
immediately, wait for the temperature
to pass outside. Hot foods increase the
degree of your refrigerator and cause food
poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the
food.
•To prevent cross contamination, meat
products and fruit vegetables are not stored
together.
•Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in
closed containers or covered to prevent
moisture and odors.
The table below is a quick guide to show you
the most efficient way to store the major food
groups in your refrigerator compartment.

• The storage life of frozen food depends
on the room temperature, the thermostat
setting, how often the door is opened, the
type of food, and the length of time
required to transport the product from the
shop to your home. Always follow the
instructions printed on the packaging and
never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is
the volume without baskets, covers, and
so on.
• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose
a danger to your health and cause
problems such as food poisoning.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer
door immediately after closing it, you
may find that it will not open easily. This
is normal. Once equilibrium has been
reached, the door will open easily.
4.2 Freezer Compartment
• The freezer is used for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food, and making ice
cubes.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen
in plastic cups and other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.For
freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh
food properly, that is the packaging
should be air tight and shouldn’t leak.
Special freezer bags, aluminum foil
polythene bags and plastic containers
are ideal.
•Do not store fresh food next to frozen
food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into
portions that can be consumed in one
sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a
short period of time after defrosting
• Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions on food packaging when
storing frozen food. If no information is
provided food, should not be stored for
more than 3 months from the date of
purchase.
•When purchasing frozen food, make sure
that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not
damaged.
•Frozen food should be transported in
appropriate containers and placed in the
freezer as soon as possible.
•Do not purchase frozen food if the
packaging shows signs of humidity
and abnormal swelling. It is probable that
it has been stored at an unsuitable
temperature and that the contents have
deteriorated.
•If the freezer door has been left open for
a long time or not closed properly, frost
will form and can prevent efficient air
circulation. To resolve this, unplug the
freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean
the freezer once it has fully defrosted.

5 CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by
pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products,
detergents or soaps for cleaning the
appliance. After washing, rinse with clean
water and dry carefully. When you have
nished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the
mains supply with dry hands.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned
regularly using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by
hand with soap and water. Do not wash
accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least
twice a year. This will help you to save on
energy costs and increase productivity.
The power supply must be
disconnected during cleaning.
5.1 Defrosting
Defrosting the Refrigerator
Compartment

EN - 18
• Defrosting occurs automatically in
the refrigerator compartment during
operation. The water is collected by
the evaporation tray and evaporates
automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain
hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the
water from collecting at the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of owing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by
pouring half a glass of water down it.
Freezer defrosting process
• Small amounts of frost will accumulate
inside the freezer, depending on the
length of time the door may be left open
or the amount of moisture introduced.
It is essential to ensure that no frost or
ice is allowed to form in places where
it will a󰀨ect the close tting of the door
seal. This might allow air to penetrate the
cabinet, encouraging continuous running
of the compressor. Thin frost formation
is quite soft and can be removed with a
brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal
or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the defrosting
process. Remove all dislodged frost from
the cabinet oor. It is not necessary to
switch o󰀨 the appliance for the removal
of thin frost.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits,
disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply, empty the contents into
cardboard boxes and wrap in thick
blankets or layers of paper to keep cool.
Defrosting will be most e󰀨ective if carried
out when the freezer is nearly empty
and should be carried out as quickly
as possible to prevent an unnecessary
increase in the temperature of the
contents.
• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers,
mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process. An
increase in temperature of frozen food
during defrosting will shorten the storage
life. Keep contents well wrapped and cool
while defrosting is taking place.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a
sponge or a clean cloth.
• To accelerate the defrosting process,
place one or more bowls of warm water
in the freezer compartment.
•Examine the contents when replacing
them in the freezer and if some of the
packages have thawed out, they should
be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked
and re-frozen.
• After defrosting is complete, clean the
inside of the appliance with a solution
of warm water and a little bicarbonate
of soda, then dry thoroughly. Wash all
removable parts in the same way and
reassemble. Reconnect the appliance
to the mains supply and leave for 2 to
3 hours on setting number MAX before
introducing the food back into the freezer.

7 BEFORE CALLING AFTER-
SALES SERVICE
If you are experiencing a problem with your
appliance, please check the following before
contacting the after-sales service. Your
appliance is not operating
Check if:
•The thermostat is set to the correct setting
and not in the off position
•There is power
•The plug is correctly placed in the socket
•The plug fuse or the mains fuse has blown
•The socket is defective. To check this,
plug another working appliance into the
same socket.
The appliance performs poorly
Check if:
•The appliance is overloaded
•The appliance door is closed properly
•There is any dust on the condenser
•There is enough space near the rear and
side walls.
Your refrigerator is operating noisily:
The following noises can be heard during
normal operation of the appliance.
Normal noises:
Cracking noise occurs:
•During automatic defrosting
•When the appliance is cooled or
warmed (due to expansion of
appliance material).
The appliance is noisy:
The cooling gas which circulates in the
refrigerator circuit may make a slight
noise (bubbling sound) even when the
compressor is not running. Do not worry,
this is normal. If you hear a different sound,
check whether:
• The appliance is level
• Anything is touching the rear of the
appliance
• Objects in the appliance are vibrating.

EN - 20
Short cracking noise occurs: When
the thermostat switches the compressor
on/off.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor
is operating normally. The compressor
may cause more noise for a short time
when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash occurs:
Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the
tubes of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs: Due
to water flowing to the evaporation
container. This noise is normal during
defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: In some
models during normal operation of the
system due to the circulation of air.
The edges of the appliance in contact
with the door joint are warm:
Especially during summer (warm
seasons), the surfaces in contact with the
door joint may become warmer during the
operation of the compressor, this is
normal.
The door does not open or close
properly
Check if:
•There is food or packaging preventing the
door from closing
•The door joints are broken or torn
•Your appliance is on a level surface.
•The decor door has been fitted correctly
allowing the fridge door to seal easily.
There is a build-up of humidity inside
the appliance
Check if:
•All food is packed properly. Containers
must be dry before being placed in the
appliance.
•The appliance door is opened frequently.
Humidity of the room enters the
appliance when the doors are opened.
Humidity increases faster when the doors
are opened more frequently, especially if
the humidity of the room is high.
There is water in the lower part of the
refrigerator or on the shelves.
As this is a Wet Wall fridge you will find
under normal operation that moisture within
the fridge will freeze to the back wall
forming ice during the cooling phase (see
below image). Once the appliance has
reached the required temperature it will then
stop running and go in to it's Auto-Defrost
mode within the fridge compartment which
will mean that the ice on the back wall will
start to defrost and form water droplets that
will then run down the rear wall and in to the
defrost channel.
Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged
(use a defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole if blocked).
Make sure that nothing is touching the back
wall as this will cause water to run on to
shelves or bypass the drain hole, also if
anything is touching the back wall it will
freeze to the wall during the cooling phase.
