purpose i.e the storing and freezing of edible
foodstuff.
• Do not dispose of the appliance on a fire. Your
appliance contains non CFC/HFC natural
substances in the cooling system and in the
insulation, which are potentially flammable if
exposed to fire. Therefore, take care not to
damage, the cooling circuit or pipes of the
appliance in transportation and in use. In case
of damage do not expose the appliance to fire
or potential ignition source and immediately
ventilate the room where the appliance is
situated.
• See installation section for information on
suitable location.

appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,
clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices
or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
GAS WARNING CAUTION RISK OF FIRE: Due
to the flammable refrigerant (R600a) and/
or the flammable insulation blowing gas used,
this gas is natural gas with high environmental
compatibility that is, however, also combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance,
care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant and/or insulation blowing gas
squirting/leaking out of the pipes or body of
appliance could ignite or cause an eye injury. If leak
is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential
sources of ignition and air the room in which the
appliance is standing for several minutes. Servicing
and repair of R600a refrigerant shall be done by
qualified service technicians. Do not damage the
refrigerant circuit.

Installation Notes
4. Ensure the supply voltage of socket is same as rating label.
5. The plug must be properly inserted to the wall socket.
6. The mains supply socked must be earthed - preferably with a switch. If it is not
earthed, do NOT install this appliance there. Do not use an extension cord
7. The product is equipped with adjustable feet. Once the product is in place, adjust
these to ensure the fridge is level and doesn’t rock.
DO NOT SITE THE PRODUCT WHERE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS LIKELY TO
DROP BELOW 5 DEGREES CENTIGRADE - EG: GARAGE OR SHED
1. It is important that upon receipt you stand your appliance upright for at least 4 hours
before switching on to allow the system to settle. Remove all packaging & any transit tapes
2. Clean the inside of the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth prior to switching on
3. When using the product for the first time, set the thermostat inside the product to 1
without any food inside. When it starts, you will hear the quiet hum of the compressor. You
may also hear the circulation of liquids and gases in the refrigeration system. This is normal
on first start up, Generally it will take 3 hours for the appliance to reach temperature. Once
temperature has been reached then put the food inside.
4. The temperature of the freezer can be adjusted by rotating the disc of the thermostat. The
higher the value on the setting of the thermostat, the colder it will be
5. Do not put too much food in the freezer. Avoid opening the doors too frequently as this will
waste energy and can cause excessive frost build-up.

Food Storage Tips
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• Store food in small portions
• Seal food in containers with lids, in plastic wrap or in plastic bags to prevent drying and
the mingling of odours.
Wrapping food
• Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household.
• Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 1 kg, while meat portions can be
up to 2.5 kg.
• Smaller portions freeze through more quickly and the quality is thereby maintained bet-
ter when defrosting and preparing the food.
• It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it
from losing flavour or dehydrating.
• Wrap the food, press out any air and seal it airtight.
Suitable wrapping materials:
• Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers. These items are available
from any dealer.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
• Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.
Suitable sealing materials:
• Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar.
• Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.
• Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents
and date of freezing
• Do not put warm/hot foods in the freezer
• Keep the seal clean so as not to lose cold air and overwork the compressor
• Try to leave enough air space around foodstuffs to allow good circulation of cold air

Cleaning & Maintenance
DAILY CLEANING
The outside of your refrigerator can be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Wipe dry with kitchen towel.
Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners on any part of your refrigerator as these could
permanently damage or discolour the surfaces.
DOOR SEALS
Ensure that the door seals are kept free from debris at all times. If they don’t seal properly this
can waste energy and cause excessive ice build-up
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE & DEFROSTING
From time to time, it may be necessary to perform more extensive cleaning to keep your
refrigerator in top condition and to maintain energy efficiency.
Before performing any of these maintenance steps, switch off your refrigerator and remove
the plug from the mains socket. Allow the freezer section to defrost thoroughly.
DO NOT use metal objects to remove ice etc. Use the scraper provided with the product.
DEFROST PROCESS
• Remove all foods, ice cube tray and drawers
• Turn the thermostat to the OFF position
• Clean and wipe melted frost with a cloth
• After defrosting, turn the thermostat back to original position and replace the drawers
• Unless you can move the food to another freezer during the defrost process, it will not be
suitable for re-freezing!

Troubleshooting
1. If the refrigerator does not run:
Check the supply voltage is available at the socket and check that the power plug is
correctly connected.
2. If the refrigerator does not become cold enough:
a. is the thermostat is set too low?
b. is there enough space around the refrigerator?
c. is the door is opened too frequently or not closed properly? (check seals).
d. is there direct sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?
e. is there too much food inside the compartment?
f. is there dust and debris built up on cooling matrix or compressor?
3. If the refrigerator operates noisily:
a. Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor. Adjust the feet if nec-
essary. The refrigerator is too near the wall
b. The food stored in the refrigerator is not touching - particularly applies to glass
containers. The refrigerator creates very slight vibrations, which can be amplified
greatly with touching glass containers!
Note:
During high relative humidity environment, condensation may occur on the surface
of the refrigerator. This is not a malfunction. Simply clean the surface of condensa-
tion.
If the refrigerator is not working properly after all these checks, contact the service
centre without further delay.
