power source and contact the Authorised Service Provider. Check that the shelving shown on the
appliance details diagram are all present:
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation. Remove any protective film from the outer surface.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing the Refrigerator
This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
Place your appliance on a solid, level floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully
loaded. Use the adjustable feet at the bottom of the appliance to compensate for any unevenness of the
floor.
Allow at least 5 cm of space around the sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation,
and at least 10cm above and behind the unit. Note the door opens to 135°
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly. Avoid locating the
appliance in moist areas.
Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an Authorised Service
Centre.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet (220-240V 50Hz), allow the unit to cool down for 4 hours
before placing food in the freezer or refrigeration compartments. This appliance is designed to work in
ambient temperatures up to 43°C. If moving the appliance, avoid tilting the appliance more than 45°.

Operating Instruction
This appliance has two control knobs (one for the freezer compartment and one for the
refrigerator). The freezer control has three settings (cold, colder & coldest), with the centre setting
being the recommended general use setting. The refrigerator control has an extra setting (off)
which turns off the refrigerator and freezer. Once plugged into the power supply, turn both
temperature control knobs to the coldest setting and allow the appliance to run for 2-3 hours before
placing any food inside. Adjust the control knobs to the colder setting and monitor (adjust up or
down to suit the food inside, the room temperature, introduction of large amounts of warm food,
number of times door is opened etc).
FREEZER CONTROL KNOB REFRIGERATOR CONTROL KNOB
The humidity inside the crisper compartment can be adjusted depending on what is being stored at
that time. Move the regulator on the crisper to the left to decrease humidity or right to increase
humidity.
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for long periods
of time. The freezing process takes approximately 24 hours; during this time do not add any extra
fresh food to the freezer compartment.
The fridge door shelve positions can be adjusted by slightly raising and removing. The glass shelve
positions can be adjusted by angling the rear section slightly up and then pulling forward.
During use, moisture from the air & food can collect inside the appliance forming a layer of ice. Ice
will limit the transfer of heat out of the appliance. If this becomes more than 2mm thick, the
appliance should be defrosted.
Turn the refrigerator control knob to off & remove any food from the freezer compartment and
refrigerator. Open the doors. Allow the ice to melt and let water collect in the tray under the freezer
compartment. Discard any water and ice and replace tray. To speed up the process, a bowl of warm
water (~50°C) can be placed inside the compartment. Do not scrape ice from the compartment
walls & do not use any other heating devices (as it is a safety hazard and may damage the
appliance).

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the appliance
Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly, and cleaned
once a month after that.
To clean the appliance, first turn the refrigerator control knob to off, turn off the power, unplug from
the power socket and remove all food and shelving.
Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelving with a mild detergent solution.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
The outside of the appliance should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odour free
and running efficiently.
Do not use oils, abrasive cleaners, petroleum products, acids or alkaline detergents, as they can
damage the appliance.
Moving the appliance
Remove all the food.
Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
Tape the doors shut.
Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving tips
Don’t open the doors too frequently.
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances
or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance
forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that cool or freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer and bad odours.
The freezer compartment should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
When adding fresh food, try to add it to the bottom of the freezer, surrounded by food that is already
frozen. After adding fresh food to the freezer, allow 24 hours for it to be fully frozen before adding any
extra fresh food
