the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin .
Before first use of the fridge/freezer
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least five hours prior to
switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to
first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water then
thoroughly dry the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear
as the appliance cools.
This appliance has been designed with ease of use in mind but
please read the following instructions carefully to ensure you
familiarise yourself with the appliance and its operation. This will help
you to get the best results and also help to prevent you from being

Important
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
•Children must not play with the appliance.
•Cleaning and user maintenance must not be made by children
without supervision.
•If the appliance is switched o, you should allow five minutes
before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to
the compressor.
•WARNING - Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
•WARNING - Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate defrosting processes.
•WARNING - Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance.
•WARNING - Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•WARNING - Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol
cans, with a flammable propellant, within this appliance.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
•This appliance is not intended for use at altitudes exceeding 2000
metres.
•This appliance is a household refrigerator and is intended to be
used in domestic environments and similar applications such as
sta kitchen areas, farm houses and bed and breakfast type envi-
ronments. It should not be used in commercial environments.
•If your appliance uses R600a as a refrigerant (this information will
6
will be provided on the rating plate) you must take care during
transportation and installation to prevent the cooling system ele-
ments from being damaged. R600a is an environmentally friendly
and natural gas, but is explosive. In the event of a leak due to
damage to the cooling system, move your fridge away from open
flames or heat sources and ventilate the room in which the appli-
ance is located for 5 minutes.
Fridge use
•Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
•Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should
be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put
into the refrigerator.
•Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible
condensation problems which will be dicult to remove.
•Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped
away before putting into the fridge.
•Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will
help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and
avoid unpleasant odours.
• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon
should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent
deterioration caused by the door being open for
prolonged periods.
•Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sucient
space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
7
•Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help
to keep the temperature low and save energy.
•Never store raw meats above cooked meats or other
produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat
contaminating other foodstus. We recommend storing
raw meat packages or containers on kitchen roll and
changing the roll regularly. This will help to stop raw
meat juices running around the appliance.
Freezer use
•The freezer compartments are designed to store only
frozen food.
•Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to
cool fully before putting them into the freezer.
• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage
of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should
not be stored for more than three months after the
purchase date.
•Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2kg). This
reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the
food after thawing.
•Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the
wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.
• Label the food before freezing with information including
type of food and dates of storage and expiry.
•Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only
defrost as much food as is required to prevent wastage.
8
• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the
freezer compartments as they could explode.
•The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen
within a 24 hour period is 8 kg.
•Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum
amount.
•To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch the thermostat
to setting 5 a few hours prior to placing the food in the
freezer. After the food is frozen, lower the setting.
• Where possible, do not overload your fridge and freezer
compartments. This allows for air circulation around the
contents and keeping airways etc. as unobstructed as
possible will ensure optimum performance.
Important notes on first use and usage
•When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally run
it without any contents for the first 24 hours and not open the
appliance doors. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put a
large quantity of food inside.
•The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the
correct temperature.
•This appliance features a five minute delay function which, after
power has been cut and restored or the appliance turned o and
on again, allows five minutes to pass before switching the cooling
system on again. This is to prevent unnecessary damage to the
compressor.
•The climate class for this appliance is ST/N. This means ambient
temperatures should not fall below 16°C or exceed 38°C.

Setting the temperature
To adjust the temperature turn the thermostat control knob from left
to right to the required level. This ranges from 1 to 5. The temperature
becomes colder the higher the number on the control.
We recommend initially setting the temperature control in mid range
for the first 24 hours then
adjusting the temperature up
or down from this point as your
personal preference. If your
fridge is often relatively empty,
set the thermostat to a low
number to help prevent straining
the system.
The climate class for this
appliance means ambient
temperatures should not fall
below 16°C nor exceed 38°C.
