This appliance is for refrigerating food only.
REFRIGERANT
The refrigerating gas contained in the circuit of this appliance is Isobutane (R600a); it causes
a low level of pollution but is inflammable.
CAUTION:
Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance.
WARNINGS:
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use sharp or pointed objects such as knives to remove ice when defrosting.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process,
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
If the appliance is installed in a carpeted area, do not let the carpet block the
ventilation holes in the base of the unit, adjust the levelling feet after a few hours to
compensate for carpet movement.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or the built in structure clear of
obstructions.
Installation
Position the appliance and allow to stand for two to three hours before it is turned on
for the first time to allow the system to settle. Do not position next to any heat source
e.g. cooker, boiler or in direct sunlight etc.
A clearance of 10 cm must be left between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent
cabinets or walls to allow for adequate air circulation. The appliance is not designed for
recessed installation (“building in”).
Install on a good firm level surface, and any unevenness of the floor should be
corrected prior to installation, slight unevenness can be overcome by adjusting the
front feet.
Do not keep your appliance in a room where the temperature is likely to fall below 16
degrees C (61 degrees F) at night and/or especially in winter, as it is designed to
operate in ambient temperatures between +16 and +32 degrees C (61 and 90 degrees
F). At lower temperatures the appliance may not operate, resulting in a reduction in
the storage life of the food.
Do not place the appliance near cookers or radiators or in direct sunlight, as this will cause
extra strain on the appliance’s functions.
If installed next to a source of heat such as a fridge, maintain the following minimum
clearances.
Choose a well-ventilated location with no less than 10cm clearance around the refrigerator.
Place the refrigerator in a location with a firm base in order to prevent vibration and excessive
noise.
Level the refrigerator by adjusting the two front feet.
Instructions for use
Remove all packing materials and check for damage, if the appliance is damaged, do
not use the appliance, contact the store where you purchased the appliance. Wash
the interior of the appliance using lukewarm water containing a little bicarbonate of
soda in the proportion of 1 teaspoon to 1.2 litres (2 pints) of water. Do not use
detergents or soaps as they may taint the food. After cleaning, dry all parts
thoroughly.
Temperature Control
The refrigerator is designed to maintain an internal storage temperature in the
refrigerator compartment between 0ćto + 8ć.
To enable adjustment of the temperature in the appliance it is fitted with an
adjustable thermostat located in the fridge compartment, which can be adjusted from
setting 1(warmest) to 7 (coldest). For normal working temperature it is recommended
to adjust the thermostat control to the midway position, after a few hours readjust the
thermostat to the desired temperature. There is also an off position “0”. Which
turns the refrigerator off. Note this dose not disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply. To do this you must remove the mains plug from the wall outlet.
To obtain a lower internal temperature turn the thermostat temperature control
clockwise to a higher number. To obtain a higher internal temperature turn the
thermostat control anticlockwise to a lower number. The internal temperature and
temperature control setting is dependent on a number of factors:
1. Varying ambient temperatures.
2. The number of times the appliance door is opened and how long the door remain
open.
3. The amount and temperature of the food and drink introduced into the appliance.
4. The weather conditions and time of year e.g. summer/winter.
5. The positioning of the appliance and an adequate air circulation to the sides and
back of the cabinet.
Never place hot or warm foods into the refrigerator or leave the doors open for longer
than necessary as this will raise the temperature and cause excessive amounts of
moisture thus increasing the amount of ice in the refrigerator compartment.
The Internal Light
The internal light will automatically switch ON and OFF whenever the refrigerator
door is opened or closed. To change the light bulb, see the section on changing the
light bulb.

Storage of fresh food in the refrigerator
Food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in bags or
stored in airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and prevent
the strong smell of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To store raw meat wrap in polythene bags or airtight containers and place on
the lowest shelf.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only
store raw meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the crisper drawer.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf
on the door.
Store frozen food
When using the free er for the first time or after defrosting, turn the thermostat
temperature control to setting 7 for at least two hours before introducing the
food to be stored, then adjust to your preferred setting.
All fro en food products you purchase should be placed in the free er as soon
as possible to avoid the fro en food from defrosting.
Storage recommendations printed on the packaging of fro en food by the
manufactures should always be followed.
Freezing fresh food (Freezer)
Ensure that your free ing operations are carried out under the most hygienic
conditions, as free ing alone does not sterilise the food. Never put hot or even
warm foodstuffs into the free er. Prior to storing the food, pack it in plastic bags,
aluminum foil or free er containers and place into the free er without putting
them in contact with food that has already been fro en.
See the technical data sheet at the rear of this booklet for the maximum
permissible amount in kilograms of fresh food that can be fro en in any 24-hour
period with a room temperature of 25℃. Never free e more than the maximum
permissible for a given 24 hours period.
Making ice cubes (ice tray not supplied)
Pour water into the ice cube tray until it is two thirds full and place into the
free er. Ice cubes will form in approximately 2 to 3 hours. The ice cubes can be
easily removed by twisting the ice cube tray or running under cold water for a
short time.
Refrigerator defrost process
The refrigerator defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the
compressor stops.
The defrost water drains from the cabinet into a tray placed on the top of the
compressor to the rear of the unit where it evaporates.
7
Freezer defrost process
Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the free er depending upon the
length of time during which the door is left open or the amount of moisture
introduced.
It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it
will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the
cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor.
Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic
scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other
means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the
cabinet floor.
For the removal of thin frost it is not necessary to switch off the appliance.
For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply and empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets
or layers of paper to keep them cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried
out when the free er is empty, and it should be carried out as quickly as
possible.
An increase in temperature of fro en food packages during defrosting will
shorten the storage life. Provided that the contents are well wrapped and placed
in a cool area, they should keep for several hours.
Examine the contents when replacing them in the free er and if some of the
packages have thawed out it should be eaten within 24hours or be cooked and
refro en.
After defrosting has finished clean the inside with a solution of warm water with
a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in
the same way and reassemble.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on
setting number 7 before introducing the food back into the free er and setting
the thermostat to your normal setting.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before any cleaning or maintenance is carried out you must disconnect the
appliance from the mains supply by removing the plug, never remove the plug
by pulling on the mains cord. Remove the plug by pulling on the plug itself.
It is recommended that when cleaning the appliance, both the inside and
outside, can be cleaned using warm water and a little bicarbonate of soda. Use
1 teaspoon to 1.2 litres of water.
If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time then it is
recommended to remove all the food stuff, clean the inside of the appliance and
leave the door open to allow the air to circulate thus avoiding unpleasant odors.

Changing the light bulb
Note. Light bulbs are not covered by the warranty.
Turn the thermostat to the off position (0)
and disconnect from the mains. Push the clip at the base of light to the rear to
release the lamp cover. The Lamp is located in the back of the thermostat
housing, unscrew the lamp in an anti-clockwise direction until the lamp comes
out of the lamp fitting. Screw a new 10 Watt (E14 Base) lamp into the lamp
fitting in a clockwise direction until tight. Replace the lamp cover back into
position and click back into place. Set the thermostat to your preferred setting
and close the door.
ower Failure
If there is a power failure for a short time less than 12 hrs keep the door closed
Fro en food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 12 hrs.
Extra protection can be given by covering the appliance with two or three thick
blankets.
If a long power failure is anticipated, try to get the foodstuff into another
appliance or cold store, if possible.
If the power cut is longer than 12 hrs then check the content of the free er.
If the food has defrosted, cook and refree e the food or it should be eaten
immediately.
Never refree e food that has been defrosted.
