5. Once the appliance is in place adjust the levelling feet at the front by
turning them.
6. Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as
this will cause your appliance to work harder. . If installed next to a source
of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances:
From Cookers 50 mm
From Radiators 300 mm
From Freezers 25 mm
Before you start using the fridge check that:
1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet.
2. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases
sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
5. When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on.
6. Set the thermostat to 3 and close door. After 30 minutes you should
observe a drop in temperature. “5” represents the lowest temperature.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal.
8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the
correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you
check the temperature with an accurate thermometer and wait 24 hours
before placing food in the fridge or freezer
How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment:
•Cooked /fresh foods may be stored in your refrigerator. Hot foods must
first to allowed to reach room temperature before storage
Food Storage

8
•Eggs and Bottle’s should be stored on the shelves provided in the door
•Meat and fish should be covered to prevent loss of moisture and odours.
wrap such foods in aluminium foil or polythene or store in an airtight
container
•It is advisable to store cooked food on top shelves and fresh food on the
lower shelves to prevent cross contamination
How to Use the Freezer Compartment:
•Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with
the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage
compartment.
•To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer
and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be observed:
- Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
- Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.
- Do not exceed "Use By" or "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
•If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not
be affected if the failure lasts for less than 14 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked
and then refrozen.
Freezing Fresh Food:
•Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen right through as quickly as possible
•Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 4 kg
(9 lb)
•Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment
•It is possible to “fast cool” by selecting temperature setting “5” before
adding food The fast cool function will exit automatically after 26 hours, or
can be disabled manually.
•NOTE: the maximum allowable capacity is 3KG at a time.

MAKING ICE CUBES
•Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water
•Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks.
DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR
After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the freezer
compartment inner wall (or evaporator) surface, which may affect the
refrigeration effect if exceeding 5mm in thickness. In such case, you need to
gently scrape the frost off using an ice scraper rather than the metal or sharp
hardware. Frost needs to be cleared off every 3 months or so, and if the normal
use of drawers and normal access of foods are affected by frosting, make sure to
remove the frost in a timely manner. Follow the following steps to remove frosts:
1.Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains power supply, open the
refrigerator door, and gently remove the frosts from the inner wall with an ice
scraper. To speed up the thawing process, you are suggested to place a bowl of
hot water inside the refrigerator/freezer, and when the solid ice frosts become
loose, use an ice scraper to scrape them off and then take them out.
2.After defrosting, clean the refrigerator/freezer inside, and switch on the power
supply.
WARNINGS!
The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air.
Never insert any object through the guard.
Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan.
Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (eg dispensers,
spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air
circulation.
Defrosting

10
WARNINGS!
Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.
Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best
possible performance from your appliance.
Do not use any other heated electrical appliance to speed up the defrosting
process.
The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the
best results:
1. The fridge compartment is for the short term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is rated and suitable for the freezing and
storage of pre frozen food. The recommendation for storage as stated on
the food packaging should be observed at all times.
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and
vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door section.
6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf.
Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food to avoid
contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
7. Keep the food packed wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages
to cool before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive
substances.
8. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers.
9. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can.
10. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water
ices should not be consumed too cold.
11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at too low a
temperature. It helps to wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes
and similar produce in polythene bags.
Arrangement of Food in the Fridge/Freezer

11
12. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge
inner liner where the cold wall is located.
13. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers are all removable.
14. Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly.
