Make sure that all protective plastic film and
coatings are thoroughly removed from all
surfaces.
2. To optimize performance and longevity, ensure
a minimum clearance of 2.5cm is maintained
between the unit and walls and other objects,
with a minimum 20cm clearance on the top.
NEVER LOCATE NEXT TO A HEAT SOURCE.

Freezing tips
• Allow hot food to cool prior to freezing.
• For best and fastest freezing, it is better to split
food into smaller portions.
• The pre-set position of baskets has already
been set in the most efficient use of this unit.
Ensure that baskets are not over-filled. It is
important that the lid should close onto the
body for the appliance to refrigerate efficiently.
• To prevent food waste from drying out (freezer
burns), place food in airtight packaging.
• Take note of the “use by” date and
recommended freezer storage time. Ensure
that food to be used is made easily accessible.
• Storage time varies and depends on the food
type and packaging. Strictly observe the food
producer’s instructions on the packaging.
• To avoid contamination of food, please respect
the following instructions:
- Avoid opening the lid too often. Opening
the lid for long periods can cause a significant
increase of the temperature in the appliance.
- If the gasket or seal is damaged or deformed,
energy consumption will increase. To restore
efficiency replace gasket.
- If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for
long periods, switch it off. Then defrost and
clean it thoroughly. Let it dry well and leave
the door open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
- Clean regularly surfaces that can come in
contact with food and accessible drainage
system.
- Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the freezer, so that they are not in contact
with or drip onto other food.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
• Switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
• Clean the interior of the appliance as often as possible.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. These can leave harmful residues.
• Clean the door seal with water only.
• Always wipe dry after cleaning.
• Do not allow water used in cleaning to run through the drain hole into the evaporation pan.
• Take care when cleaning the rear of the appliance. Sharp edges can cut.
Condensation and ice will form with frequent and prolonged opening of the doors.
Operating outside of the recommend temperature range and placing next to a heat source
will also increase the amount of ice and internal/external condensation. If external
condensation occurs wipe the surface down with a cloth.
Excessive ice will result in longer running times that will increase energy consumption and
increase the deterioration of components.
If the gasket or seal is damaged or deformed, energy consumption will increase. To restore
efficiency, replace gasket.
Cleaning the Condenser
Periodically cleaning the condenser can extend the life of the appliance.
Defrost
When any ice built-up reaches 5mm thick, a manual defrost process is required. To do this switch the freezer
off at the power supply. Then, manually defrost the appliance. Never use sharp objects for scraping.

A qualified technician must carry out repairs if required.
