This appliance is designed for
domestic use only, specifically for the
storage of edible foodstuffs.
This appliance is designed to operate in
ambient temperatures (surrounding air
temperature) between 10°C (50°F) and 32°C
(90°F).
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e.,
colder or warmer, the appliance will not
operate correctly.
Before Use
Remove all securing tapes.
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm
water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml
to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or
detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the
appliance thoroughly.
To Start the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after
installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the
mains supply.
3. Turn the thermostat control to the required
setting. A setting of 3 - 4 is usually suitable for
normal operation (see thermostat control).
4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours
for the correct temperature to be reached
before placing food inside.
Thermostat Control
The thermostat control situated in the control
panel regulates the temperature of the larder
compartment. Thermostat control is marked from
1-6, the higher the number, the colder the setting.
Position 1 - Cold
Position 6 - Coldest
The temperature will be affected by:
Ambient temperature
How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control
setting, all these factors have to be considered
and some experimentation may be necessary.
Do not allow children to tamper with the
controls or play with the product.

USING THE APPLIANCE
Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products, wax polishes or products
containing alcohol.

part of the fridge compartment is at the top of the cabinet and the coolest at the bottom.
Storage Guide

Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling
sounds when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the
cooling plate/evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round , and you will hear a
whirring sound or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and
you will hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat
cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best results from your appliance
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.
Keep the time between buying chilled food
and placing it in your fridge as short as
possible.
Do not push food together too much, try to
allow air to circulate around each item.
Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator
and clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of
heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or
radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of
the cabinet are not obstructed.
Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing
the door from closing properly.
It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the
appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner.

HINTS AND TIPS

Before any maintenance or cleaning work
is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance
from the ELECTRICITY supply
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products containing
bleach or alcohol.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular
intervals and ensure that the drain hole is clear at
all times. If blocked carefully clear using a piece
of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain
outlet to remove the blockage.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do NOT use abrasive products.
There are sharp edges on the underside
of the product so care should be taken
when cleaning.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black
grille) and the compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an
accumulation of dust will affect the performance
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
To Change the Light Bulb
1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect
from the electricity supply.
2. Remove the light cover by first removing the
screw with a screwdriver.
3. Pull the cover outwards towards the roof of
the cabinet.
4. Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new
15 watt E14 SES bulb (available from your
local Service Force Centre).
5. Replace the cover by engaging the top
locating lugs and press home.
6. Replace and tighten the screw.

The fridge compartment is defrosted
automatically. Defrost water from the cooling
plate runs out of the drain and onto a tray on
the motor compressor where it is evaporated.
this process is completely automatic. Droplets of
water on the cooling plate during defrosting are
quite normal and will freeze on the plate
afterwards.
When the Appliance is Not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of
the food and clean the appliance, leaving the
door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
