  Before disposing of an old appliance, remove the door seals, latch or bolt lock to avoid the risk of child entrapment.

• Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health. It also enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both energy and resources. As

• a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin 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 surfaces of the fridge compartment may be very cold when the appliance is running. Avoid touching, if possible, the surfaces 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.

• This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures between 18˚C and 43˚C. Use outside of this range may cause the appliance to fail.

Before first use

• 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.

When first switching the appliance on it is advisable to set the fridge to setting 3 and leave the fridge to settle for 24 hours before adjusting the temperature to the preferred setting.
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.
• Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance.
• This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates
• harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a malfunction of the fridge. This refrigeration appliance is intended for use as a built-in appliance

General use of the fridge Fridae

• 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 is a wet wall appliance which during normal usage will form droplets of ice on the rear wall(ref to image on Page13)and cause items to freeze to the back wall.

• 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

Note : If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment ( it is not suitable for freezing foodstuffs.

Storage and use

The fridge is for short term food storage. Although the temperature can be maintained between 0-10˚C, extended periods of food storage is not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods should be stored in different sections according to type.

1. Butter and eggs
2. Food in jars and bottles
3. Drinks, e.g. milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yoghurts and cheese
6. Fresh meat and fish
7. Fruit and vegetables

The fridge shelves can be moved according to the storage requirements within the fridge section. To move the shelf, lift up the front section and then pull it outwards. To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and lower the front section.
When storing root vegetables with leaves, such as carrots or turnips, their leaves should be removed. This prevents the leaves from absorbing nutrients from within the vegetables.

Controls

Temperature control
The temperature controls for this fridge are simple and easy to use. To change the temperature simply press the adjust button on the right hand side of the unit to cycle through settings 1 to 5. The warmest setting being 1 and the coldest being 5.
After changing the temperature setting, the time taken to achieve the new temperature will depend on how big the change is from the previous setting.

Switching on and off
When the fridge is connected to a power supply the lights below the setting numbers will illuminate, indicating which setting is currently being used.
To switch the appliance on and off simply press and hold the power button on the left hand side of the unit for approximately 5 seconds

Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge and crisper 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, drawers and balconies separately by hand with a mild solution of washing up liquid 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 cleaned periodically to prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The cleaning rod can be used to clean the drain hole. Always ensure that the drainage channel, visible at the rear of the appliance, is kept clear of debris. If you notice that the drain hole/ channel is iced over, use warm (not boiling) water to remove the ice blockage.
• If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly ajar to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odours.

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 using the cleaning tool supplied.
• The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation.
• If you notice a heavy build up of ice, refer to the troubleshooting section on ice on page 11.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the troubleshooting guide prior to calling Customer Care to prevent unnecessary service calls and potential cost. Contact details are on the back cover of this manual

If the appliance is not working, check the following

• There is power to the appliance
• The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown
• The on/off switch is not set to off
• The plug socket is functioning. To check this, plug another electrical appliance in to see if the socket is faulty

If the appliance is working, but not very well, check the following:

• The appliance is not overloaded
• The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature
• The doors are closing properly
• The cooling system at the rear of the appliance is clean and free of dust, and not touching the rear wall
• There is enough ventilation at the side•rear walls

If the appliance is noisy, check the following:

• The appliance is level and stable
• The side and rear walls are clear, and there is nothing resting on the appliance
• Note: The cooling gas in the refrigerator may make a slight bubbling or gurgling noise, even when the compressor is not running

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment:

• Check the drain hole in the channel at the back of the refrigerator is clear. If this is blocked refer back to Care and Cleaning (page10)
• Make sure no food or items are touching the back wall of the fridge as this may cause items to freeze to the back wall and during the automatic de-frost function water may run on to the shelves as well as in to the lower part of the fridge.

If ice has formed on the back wall of the fridge

• It is normal for some ice droplets to form on the back wall of the fridge(see below image) as this is a wet wall fridge. This does not constitute a fault with the appliance
• Check that there is some resistance when opening the door of the appliance. If it opens at the slightest touch it may mean that the door seal needs to be replaced or the appliance is not correctly installed
• Check the door seal for any kinks, debris or damage. If you notice any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact the Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced

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 and rear of the appliance
• The ventilation system at the bottom of the appliance must not be blocked
• Fig. 4 shows the installation requirements for your appliance. All measurements are in millimetres. Failure to install the appliance correctly can lead to increased running costs, premature failure and may invalidate the warranty provided with the appliance

Practical tips

Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber. The coldest area is directly above the vegetable drawers. Use this area for all delicate and highly perishable food such as:

• Fish, meat, poultry
• Sausage products, ready meals
• Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
• Fresh dough, cake mixtures
• Pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a label stating it should be stored at a temperature of approximately 4°C
• The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this area for storing butter and cheese.
• To achieve the most effective food preservation for the longest possible time and to avoid wasting any food, position the products as shown in Fig. 1.(page 8) In addition this figure illustrates the layout of drawers, baskets and shelves, which allows the most efficient use of energy.
• Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend product shelf life and optimise electricity consumption. Optimal storage temperature range should be stated on the food packaging.
