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 biologicalproducts.
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.

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.
Please note:

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.
• 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. This appliance has a forced air system
allowing the cool air to circulate evenly inside the fridge so their
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.
• Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other
produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat
contaminating other foodstuffs.

Crisper drawer humidity adjustment
The crisper drawer within this appliance features a humidity level
adjustment slider. Vegetables and similar produce that are subject to
wilting (e.g. rocket, spinach leaves, herbs such as basil etc.) should
be kept in the crisper drawer and the adjustment slider kept closed
(fully to the left - high). By keeping the adjustment slider closed, water
vapour is held in the drawer and subsequently greens are kept crisper
and fresher for longer.
By contrast, fruits that are susceptible to rotting should be stored in
the crisper drawer with the humidity adjustment slider fully open (to
the right - low). This will allow gases, emitted by certain produce and
that accelerate the rotting process, to exit the crisper drawer. The
drawer is marked high and low with vegetable and fruit symbols to
aid you.
Adapt Zone (MIFF7131F)
The Adapt Zone is a chiller box that keeps food stored at a
temperature between -2°C and 3°C and the humidity at just the
right level. This will help meat,fish and dairy products stay fresher
for longer and also keep any unwanted odours from the main fridge
compartment.

9
General use of the Freezer
• 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 insmall packages (ideally less than 1kg). 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. 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.
• The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24
hour period is 4.5 kg for the MIFF5151F and 3.0 kg for the
MIFF7131F.
• 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.

temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods
should be stored in different sections according to type. Section 7 is
the coldest part of the fridge.

Defrosting the freezer
The freezer has a no frost system which is designed to prevent the
heavy build up of ice. Under normal use, there should be no need to
regularly defrost the freezer system.
To help in times of service or cleaning, the appliance has a forced
defrost mode which can be activated by touching and holding
buttons Aand Cin Fig. 3 for approximately 3 seconds. The
refrigerator temperature adjustment sensor (A) will flash to confirm
that the forced defrost function is active. This function should
automatically deactivate once the freezer temperature has reached
between 10 and 12°C.
Please note: If you are regularly finding a heavy build up of ice, or
pools of water, in the freezer section then it is likely that the door is
not sealing properly. This could be due to a defective door seal or an
incorrectly fitted, or overly heavy, decor door. For more information
see the troubleshooting section on ice on page 14.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is a forced air system so will not require any defrosting.

14
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any
cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge and freezer 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 and balconies separately by hand with a mild
solution of washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the
dishwasher.
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.

Troubleshooting
If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the
troubleshooting prior to calling the CustomerCare.
If the appliance is not working, check:
•That there is power to the appliance.
•The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not
blown.
•The appliance has not been turned off at the socket or on the
control panel
•The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another
electrical appliance in to see if the socket is faulty.
If the appliance is working, but not very well, check:
•The appliance is not overloaded.
•The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature.
•The doors are closing properly.
•The cooling system at the rear of the appliance is clean and free
of dust, and not touching the rearwall.
•There is enough ventilation at the side,rear walls and
underneath.
If the appliance is noisy, check:
•The appliance is level and stable.
•The side and rear walls are clear, and there is nothing resting on
the appliance.
•Note: The cooling gas in the refrigerator may make a slight
bubbling or gurgling noise, even when the compressor is not
running.

16
Ifone or more of the LED units within the appliance isnot working:
•Contact the Customer Care to arrange a service visit.
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.
