between 16°C and 32°C.
• It is not recommended to place this appliance in a room where the
temperature is likely to drop below 5°C for prolonged periods, as the
internal appliance temperature will not be maintained.
• The appliance should be at least 50cm away from sources of heat e.g.
radiators, direct sunlight, gas ovens, stoves and 5cm away from electric
cookers as extreme temperatures will aect the performance of your
appliance.
• Allow 5cm of clearance space at the sides of the appliance and 2cm above
the appliance.
• It is not recommended to place the appliance directly against the wall,
allow at least a 2cm clearance space on the rear of the appliance and the

of the appliance.
• Do not place food directly against the rear wall of the fridge compartment.
• The temperature in the appliances compartments can be monitored by
using a fridge freezer thermometer. Do not use a Mercury lled
thermometer, as a breakage would cause a health hazard.

Important: Avoid getting water into the electric components of the appliance
(i.e. the thermostat) as this may damage your appliance.
Defrosting the fridge
• Defrosting occurs automatically in fridge compartment during operation;
the defrosted water will be collected by the evaporating tray and
evaporates automatically.
• The drain hole in the rear of the fridge compartment should be kept clear
from food and debris to prevent water building up which could result in
excess ice formation.
Defrosting the freezer
After a period of time frost will build up in the compartments. Regular
defrosting will therefore be necessary to maintain the eciency of the
appliance. The best time to defrost your appliance is when the amount of
food stored is low.
To defrost the appliance, please follow the steps below:
1. Take out the frozen food and store in a spare freezer, appliance or wrap
well and store in a cool dry place.
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains supply, making sure not to pull the
cord.
3. Leave the door open, to speed up the defrosting process, bowls of warm
water can be placed inside the appliance to raise the temperature.
4. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer compartment to catch
dripping water.
5. Remove the ice with a plastic ice scrapper. DO NOT use pointed or sharp
edged objects such as knives, forks or screw drivers to remove the ice.
6. When all traces of ice have been removed and defrosting is completed,
clean away any water and wipe your appliance dry.
7. Clean your appliance as described below, plug in and switch back on,
Setting 4 on your temperature control.
8. Allow at least 5 hours for the temperature to return to the adequate
temperature before putting the food back into the appliance.
Important: Do not use any mechanical devices or other means to accelerate
the defrosting process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Exterior
• Use a clean, damp soft cloth to wipe the exterior surface of the appliance
and dry thoroughly.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the appliance and
from around the compressor which is situated at the back of the appliance.

14
Regularly do this to maintain adequate ventilation.
Caution! Take care not to damage the coolant system.
Important: Do not use abrasive cloths, powders, household cleaners,
bleach or wax polish to clean the appliance as these can leave a smell in the
appliance and can damage the exterior.
Door Seal
Use a clean, damp soft cloth to wipe the door seal and in between the
creases, avoid damaging the door seal as this will aect the performance of
your appliance.
Going away
If you are going away and do not wish to leave the appliance left on, switch it
o at the socket and remove the plug. Ensure not to remove it using the cord.
Remove any food and follow the cleaning instructions in the “Cleaning and
Maintenance” section.
Note: Leave the door ajar as this will prevent odours and mould accumulating
in the appliance and will allow the appliance to dry completely.
When returning after a prolonged period, run for at least 2 hours on the
highest setting before adding food.
Clearing the Drain
To avoid defrost water overowing into the
fridge, regularly clear the drain hole at the rear
of the fridge compartment. Carefully use a set of
tweezers and keep the plug in a safe place during
drainage.
Power Cut
In the event of a power cut keep the appliance door closed to maintain the
temperature inside.
Operating Sounds
The cooling gas which circulates in the cooling circuit may make a slight
noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not
worry this is quite normal.

15
If these sounds are dierent check that:
• The appliance is well levelled
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The contents on the appliance are vibrating.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting reference the “temperature
rise time” in the technical specications chart. Food must be consumed
within this time frame or cooked to then be frozen.
Thawing
Frozen food can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment but ensure that it
is fully defrosted before cooking.
Replacing the light bulb
The internal light is a LED lamp. To replace the lamp, please contact a
qualied service engineer
