Location
When selecting a position for your Fridge you should make sure the floor is flat and firm,
and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16℃and
38℃. Avoid locating your Fridge near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also
avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your Fridge in an
out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that the Fridge is placed above the damp
course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Fridge cabinet. Never place the Fridge
in a wall recessed or into fitted cabinets or furniture when your Fridge is working, the grille
at the back may become hot and the sides warm. It must therefore be installed so that
the back of the Fridge has at least 9 cm(31/2”) of free space and the sides have 2
cm(3/4”). Do not drape the Fridge with any covering.
Leveling the Fridge
If the Fridge is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and may
cause you Fridge to work incorrectly. Once the Fridge is placed in its final location, adjust
the leveling feet at the front by turning them.
Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the Fridge with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with
warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy
water and dry completely before replacing in the Fridge. The external parts of the Fridge
can be cleaned with wax polish. See page 7 for more details on cleaning.
Before plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the Fridge.
If not see the section called ELECTRICAL INFORMATION on page 9.
Before switching on!
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FRIDGE.
The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30
minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.
Before filling your Fridge
Before storing foods in your Fridge, turn the Fridge on and wait for 24 hours, to make
sure it is working properly and to allow the Fridge to fail to the correct temperature.

will increase and would lead to frost forming inside.
IN USE
Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial
transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it
with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are
kept cool.
Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or
covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the
internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When
returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door.
Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
Cool area
This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, eggs,
yogurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad
dressings, sauces and jams. Fats, eg. Butter, margarine, low-fat spreads, cooking fats and
lard.
Coldest area
This is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:
·Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
·Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
·Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
·Prepared salads(including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
·Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.
5
NOTE：Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the
bottom of the fridge. If so, can not put too long. This will stop them dripping onto, or
touching other foods. Do not store inflammable gasses or liquids in the fridge.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food
packaging.
Cleaning inside the Fridge
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate
of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash
the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in
the Fridge.
Cleaning outside the Fridge
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge and the adjacent components can
be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge
TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Trouble Shooting
Power cut
Do not open the Fridge door more than necessary.
The Fridge is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
The Fridge is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the maximum
setting and wait a few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact
the local store where your purchase was made.
The Fridge is not working

The Fridge should be placed in a well ventilated room with an ambient temperature of
between 16℃and 38℃. Leave the Fridge for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Fridge
6
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture.
If the problem continues contact the local store where your purchase was made.
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system.
It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a
fault and will not affect the performance of your Fridge.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Moving the Fridge/Freezer
Location
Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also
avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling the Fridge/Freezer

Fridge/Freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and
may cause your Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly.
Do not turn on the Fridge/Freezer for 4 hours
After the Fridge/Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the
coolant to settle.
