For your safety please read the following information.
Warning: This appliance must e earthed.
The appliance must be connected to a 220 - 240 volts 50 cycle A supply by means of a
three pin socket, suitably earthed and should be protected by a 13 amp fuse in the plug.
The appliance is supplied with a standard 13 amp 3-pin plug fitted with a 13-amp fuse.
Should the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp and
approved to BS1362.
If the mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any
other reason, then the cut off plug should be disposed of safely, do not insert the cut off
plug into a mains outlet to prevent the hazard of electric shock. Remove the fuse before
disposal.
There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13-amp socket
outlet.
How to wire a 13 amp plug:
Important
The wires in the mains lead on this appliance are colored in accordance with the following
code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue – Neutral
Brown – Live
As the colours may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug
proceed as follows.
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter E or with the earth symbol or colored green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L.
You must make sure the mains cord is firmly secured under the cord clamp.

Temperature Control
The refrigerator is designed to maintain an internal storage temperature in the
refrigerator compartment between 0 to +8.
Instructions for use
Remove all packing materials and wash the interior of the appliance using lukewarm
water containing a little bicarbonate of soda in the proportion of 1 teaspoon to 1.2 liters
(2 pints) of water. Do not use detergents or soaps as they may taint the food. After
cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly.
Never place hot or warm foods into the cabinet or leave the doors open for longer than
necessary as this will raise the temperature and cause excessive amounts of moisture thus
increasing the amount of ice in the refrigerator / freezer compartment.
The Internal Light
The internal light will automatically switch ON and OFF whenever the refrigerator door
is opened or closed. To change the light bulb, please see the chapter on changing the light
bulb.
To obtain a lower internal temperature turn the thermostat temperature control to a
higher number. To obtain a higher internal temperature turn the thermostat control
to a lower number. However, the internal temperature and temperature control
setting is dependent on a number of factors:
1. Varying ambient temperatures.
2. The number of times the appliance doors are opened and how long the doors remain
open.
3. The amount and temperature of the food and drink introduced into the appliance.
4. The weather conditions and time of year e.g. summer / winter.
5. The positioning of the appliance and an adequate air circulation to the sides and
back of the cabinet.
To enable adjustment of the temperature in the appliance it is fitted with an adjustable
thermostat located in the fridge compartment, which can be adjusted from setting 1
(warmest) to 7 (coldest). For normal working temperature it is recommended to adjust
the thermostat control to the midway position, after a few hours readjust the thermostat
to the desired temperature. There is also an off position 0 . Which turns OFF the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. Please Note this dose not disconnect the
appliance from the mains supply. To do this you must remove the mains plug from the
socket.

Making ice cubes
Pour water into the ice cube tray until it is two thirds full and place into the freezer. Ice
cubes will form in approximately 2 to 3 hours. The ice cube can be easily removed by
twisting the ice cube tray or running under cold water for a short time.
Freezing fresh food (Freezer)
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions,
as freezing alone does not sterilise the food. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into
the freezer. Prior to storing the food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminium foil or freezer
containers and place into the freezer without putting them in contact with food that has
already been frozen. See the technical data sheet at the rear of this booklet for the
maximum permissible amount in kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen in any 24
hour period with a room temperature of 25C Never freeze more than the maximum
permissible amount of food as shown in the technical data at the end of this instruction
book.
Store frozen food
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the thermostat
temperature control to setting 7 for at least two hours before introducing the food to be
stored, Then adjust to your preferred setting.
All frozen food products you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as
possible to avoid the frozen food from defrosting.
Storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the
manufactures should always be followed.
Storage of fresh food in the refrigerator
Food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in bags or stored in
airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and prevent the strong smell
of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To store raw meat wrap in polythene bags or airtight containers and place on the
lowest shelf.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw
meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and
placed in the vegetable/ salad bin.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf on the
door.

Power Failure
If there is a power failure for a short time less than 11 hrs keep the door closed
Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for more than 11 hrs.
Extra protection can be given by covering the appliance with two or three thick blankets.
If a long power failure is anticipated, try to get the foodstuff into another appliance or
cold store, if possible.
If the power cut is longer than 11 hrs then check the content of the freezer.
If the food has defrosted, cook and refreeze the food or it should be eaten immediately.
Never refreeze food that as been defrosted.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
Pull the lamp cover forwards, to gain accesses to the lamp holder. Unscrew the light
bulb in an anti clockwise direction from the holder.

Replace the cover by Pushing the cover Backwards along the grooves.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.
Changing the light bulb
Note. Light bulbs are not covered by the warranty
If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time then it is recommended to
remove all the food stuff, clean the inside of the appliance and leave the door open to
allow the air to circulate thus avoiding unpleasant odors.
Cleaning and maintenance

from the mains supply by removing the plug, never remove the plug by pulling on the
mains cord. Remove the plug by pulling on the plug itself.
It is recommended that when cleaning the appliance, both the inside and outside, can be
cleaned using warm water and a little bicarbonate of soda. Use 1 teaspoon to 1.2 litres
of water.
Warning: The refrigerating system must not be damaged at any time.
