Important  
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance.  
This is a household appliance, which is produced in accordance with the national standard. It is intended for food storage  
only, not for storage of blood, medicine and biological products.  
To prevent risk of fire, keep the appliance away from petrol or any other inflammables.  
To prevent risk of electromagnetic interference or other accidents, do not place a microwave oven on top of the  
refrigerator or use any electric appliance inside the refrigerator.  
Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance.  
The internal surface of freezer compartment is very cold when the appliance is running. Do not touch the surface  
especially when hands are wet.  
Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places of high humidity that may have adverse effect on the  
electric insulation performance.  
Please remove the door, door seal and shelves before disposal of the old appliance and put them away in a safe place to  
prevent children from being entrapped.  
Before first use of the fridge  
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four 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 and then thoroughly drying the interior.  
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.  
The green power light and the red temperature warning light on the control panel will be lit when you have plugged the  
appliance in to the power supply. Then turn the thermostat dial fully clockwise until the red temperature warning light  
on the control panel goes off.  
Approximately two hours after the red light has gone off, turn the thermostat down to the required level.  
Please note:  
The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature.  
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage  
to the compressor.  
 
Use  
Fridge  
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 difficult 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 sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.  
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.  
Freezer  
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 2.5kg). 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 unless it has been completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is  
required to prevent wastage.  
Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment as they could explode.

The control panel for the fridge has two lights:  
A. Green Power light  
This light is illuminated when the power supply to the appliance is on.  
B. Red Temperature Warning light  
This light will switch on when the interior temperature is too warm. There will also be three intermittent beeps to serve  
as an audio alert.  
C. Audio Alert release / Force Defrost button  
When the fridge is over temperature, press this button to switch off the audio alert. The red temperature warning light

˚
D. Thermostat dial  
The temperatures in both compartments are regulated by the same thermostat dial.  
The thermostat can be set between fully anticlockwise (least cold) and fully clockwise (coldest).  
 
Care and cleaning  
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.  
The fridge and freezer sections should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Do not use  
abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.  
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.  
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and the evaporating tray should be clened periodically to  
prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The drain plug can be used to clean the drain  
hole.  
Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.  
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly  
open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.  
Defrosting the fridge  
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.  
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of  
the appliance.  
fig. 2  
Defrosting the freezer  
The freezer is frost free and as such is designed not to require defrosting.  
To switch off the compressor for a short period of time and so to force a defrost cycle, push and hold the Audio Alert  
Release / Force Defrost button for approximately five seconds.  
 
Changing the light bulb  
Disconnect the appliance from the power.  
Release the light cover by pressing on the hooks at the back of the cover, then slide it towards the back of the fridge to  
remove it.  
Unscrew the light bulb to remove it and replace with a new bulb of the same rating (not more than 15W).  
Replace the light cover and reconnect the power.

Installation And Ventilation  
This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources, e.g. heating elements, cookers or in damp places.  
To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the height adjustable feet at the front of the appliance.  
The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the rear wall.  
The appliance must be installed with adequate ventilation. Ensure that there is clearance above the appliance to  
allow air to escape and that there is space between the rear of the appliance and the wall.

Reversing the door  
We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the doors whilst performing this operation  
1. Carefully prise off the cover cap for the top hinge and unscrew the screws fixing the top hinge to the appliance, you  
should support the upper door whilst doing this.  
2. Carefully remove the upper door and place it somewhere safe. Note that there are spacers between the door and the  
hinge; note how many and their position.  
3. Remove the central hinge by removing the 3 screws fixing it to the appliance; support the lower door whilst doing this.  
4. Remove the lower door and place it somewhere safe, again noting the position of any spacer pieces.  
5. Swap the bottom hinge to the opposite side.  
6. Refit the lower door using any spacers and position the central hinge on the door. After removing the 3 cover caps, fix  
the hinge securely to the appliance.  
7. The top hinge and replacement cover hinge covers are included in the fittings pack. Refit the upper door and the new  
top hinge and fix it securely to the appliance.  
8. Fit the central cover caps and top hinge cover pieces in place to complete the process.  
Ensuring the door seals correctly:  
It is normal for the seal to be compressed after the door has been reversed.  
With the door closed, use a hair dryer to cause the seal to expand and fill the gap between the door and the body of the  
appliance.  
Take care not to use the hair dryer too close to the appliance, which could damage the seal. A distance of approximately  
10 cm should be adequate.  
When completed, allow the seal and door to cool before touching them.  
Once done, the seal will remain in position.
