SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. Do not store any
containers with flammable materials, such as spray cans or fire extinguisher refill cartridges in
the vicinity of the Fridge Freezer.
Do not connect your Fridge Freezer to the mains electricity supply using an extension lead.
A damaged power cord/plug can cause fire or give you an electric shock. When damaged it
must be replaced, this should only be done by qualified personnel.
Never remove the plug from the socket by pulling the cord. Always hold the plug.
Never touch the power cord/plug with wet hands as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock.
Never let the power cord be crushed by the Fridge Freezer itself or other heavy objects.
Never bend the power cord excessively.
Never let the power cord touch or pass over heating appliances.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet. This could cause skin
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
Do not place fizzy drinks, bottles and cans in the freezer compartment as they can burst as
the contents freeze.
Faulty components must only be replaced by a suitably qualified Service Agent using
genuine spare parts.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user. Repairs should only be
undertaken by an approved service agent.
Do not use other electrical appliances inside the Fridge Freezer.
Do not refreeze food once it has thawed out.
Do not make any alterations to your Fridge Freezer, unless authorised to do so by Servis.
The packaging of the machine could be hazardous to children. Please refer to the disposal
instructions on the rear cover.
Please ensure that you have removed all of the packaging materials and protective tape
from your Fridge Freezer before using.
Please take care when moving your Fridge Freezer. It is heavy and we recommend that a
minimum of two people move it. Your Fridge Freezer has a wheel in each back corner. You
will find it easiest to move your Fridge Freezer when it is tilted backwards and pushed into
position.
The small quantity of refrigerant used in the Fridge Freezer is eco-friendly R600a (an
isobutene) and is flammable/explosive if ignited in enclosed conditions. If the cooler
elements have been damaged and you suspect a leak, move the Fridge Freezer away from
any heat sources or open flame and ventilate the room the Fridge Freezer is in for a few
minutes.
Because of the very low temperatures in the Freezer compartment, some foods, such as ice
lollies could cause frost burns if consumed immediately after being removed from the Fridge
Freezer.
Keep the ventilation openings of the Fridge Freezer clear from obstruction.
Do not store medicine or academic research samples that require strict temperature control
in the Fridge Freezer.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When cleaning, do not use sharp implements as they may damage the Fridge Freezer.
Store pre-packed frozen foods in accordance with their instructions and use by date.
Ecological Hints and Tips:
We have provided a few important hints and tips, so that you can save on the cost of energy and
help protect the environment.
Do not install the Fridge Freezer close to sources of heat such as a radiator or a cooker.
Install the Fridge Freezer in a well ventilated room and keep the openings clear from
obstruction.
Do not install the Fridge Freezer on a wet floor or in a location with high humidity/moisture
content.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge compartment before
being transferred to the freezer.
Pack all foods into airtight packages before placing them into the freezer compartment.
Do not place food against the turbo fan, otherwise air circulation within the refrigerator
compartment will be impaired.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly.
Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Clean the condenser on the back of the Fridge Freezer at least once a year to make sure it is
free from dust and dirt.
Environmental Information:
Once installation is complete, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety
and the environment. Disposal instructions can be found on the rear cover.
Your Fridge Freezer does not contain gases which damage the ozone layer, in either its
refrigerant circuit or insulation materials.
No Frost Technology:
Your Fridge Freezer differs from many other
standard Fridge Freezers. Other Fridge
Freezers may experience ice build up in the
freezer compartment due to door openings
and humidity in the food. In such Fridge
Freezers regular defrosting is required; the
fridge has to be periodically turned off, the
frozen food moved to a suitable container
and the ice which has formed in the freezer
compartment removed.
Your ‘No Frost’ Fridge Freezer prevents such
problems by evenly blowing dry cold air into
the fridge and freezer compartments through
a blower fan (Figure 2). The cold air cools your
food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity
and ice build up.

USAGE
When using your Fridge Freezer for the first time, or after transportation , keep it in an
upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient
operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
We recommend that you wipe all shelving and trays with a cloth soaked in warm water
mixed with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate before use. After cleaning, rinse with warm
water and dry.
You may notice a slight odour when using your Fridge Freezer for the first time. This is
perfectly normal and will fade away once the fridge starts to cool.
Before using your Fridge Freezer, make sure that it has been connected to an appropriate
mains power supply and is switched on at the socket.
When using your Fridge Freezer for the first time, set the thermostat to a value of 4 for the
first 24 hours.
Your Fridge Freezer has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage
to the compressor. When power is applied to your Fridge Freezer, it will begin to operate
normally after 5 minutes.
BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
FOOD STORAGE TIPS
FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
To help you use your Fridge Freezer efficiently, please take the time to read the following tips and
guidance.
Storage Areas:
The circulation of air within your Fridge Freezer causes areas of different temperatures. It is
recommended that you make use of these areas when storing your food.
The coldest area of the fridge compartment is at the bottom, above the vegetable drawer. We
recommend that you use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as fish, ready meals,
baked goods and dairy products.
The warmest area of your fridge is the top shelf of the door. We recommend that you store
butter and cheeses in this shelf.
Storing food:
It is best to store you food covered or packaged, to prevent it from drying out, and to prevent
smells affecting other food in your Fridge. Store fruit and vegetables loose in the vegetable
containers. Avoid storing potatoes, onions and garlic in your refrigerator.
Other tips you might find helpful are:
Wash your food before storage.
Allow warm or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps to reduce power
consumption.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS
FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
To help you use your Fridge Freezer efficiently, please take the time to read the following tips and
guidance.
Storage Areas:
The circulation of air within your Fridge Freezer causes areas of different temperatures. It is
recommended that you make use of these areas when storing your food.
The coldest area of the fridge compartment is at the bottom, above the vegetable drawer. We
recommend that you use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as fish, ready meals,
baked goods and dairy products.
The warmest area of your fridge is the top shelf of the door. We recommend that you store
butter and cheeses in this shelf.
Storing food:
It is best to store you food covered or packaged, to prevent it from drying out, and to prevent
smells affecting other food in your Fridge. Store fruit and vegetables loose in the vegetable
containers. Avoid storing potatoes, onions and garlic in your refrigerator.
Other tips you might find helpful are:
Wash your food before storage.
Allow warm or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps to reduce power
consumption.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS
Keep as much space as possible between your items of food. This allows the cold air to
circulate freely around them.
Take care when storing tropical fruit such as pineapples as they can quickly deteriorate in
lower temperatures.
Divide and separate food into smaller pieces before storage.
Cover or wrap food to prevent odours. We recommend that you store meat loosely covered
as this allows air to circulate around the meat causing the surface to dry slightly, helping to
prevent the growth of bacteria.
Do not store food close to the lamp, or block the cover or the cooling compartment.
The table below is a quick guide, showing you the most efficient way to store the major food groups
in your refrigerator compartment.
Food Storage Duration Location
Fruits and Vegetables 1 week Loose in Vegetable Drawer
Fish and Meat 2-3 Days Wrapped on Glass Shelf
Fresh Cheese 3-4 Days Top Door Shelf
Butter and Margarine 1 Week Top Door Shelf
Bottles, Yogurt and Milk Refer to Packaging Door Shelf
Eggs 1 month Door Shelf
The Freezer Compartment:
You should use the freezer compartment of your Fridge Freezer for storing food for long periods
and making ice. Aim to freeze fresh food as quickly as possible so that it keeps its taste and
appearance.
It is important that you do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity of your Fridge Freezer, this
will help to ensure that your food freezes as quickly as possible. The maximum freezing capacity
for freezing within a 24 hour period is 3 kg.
The storage durations of frozen food can be changed by a variety of factors, such as; the
frequency of the doors opening and closing, thermostat settings, food types and the period
of time that elapsed from when the food was acquired to the time it entered the freezer. It is
important that you follow the packaging on frozen foods and do not exceed the storage duration.
The table below contains some recommendations on freezing.
