Electrical Requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and
the frequency shown on the rating plate inside the appliance corresponds to
your electricity supply.
The rating label is on the left-hand side of fridge’s inner liner.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to the main supply via a
suitable switched and fused socket. The appliance must be positioned so that
the plug is accessible.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or should it need
replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose-made mains
lead which can only be obtained from a FLAVEL Authorised Service Agent.
Warning! This Appliance Must Be Earthed
If the fitted molded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. Destroy the old plug which
is cut off as a plug with bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted
into a socket elsewhere in the house.
The molded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should the fuse
need to be replaced an ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse of the same rating must
be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the
fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been
fitted.
The color of the replacement fuse cover must be the same color as that visible
on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good
electrical store. 6
Important! Fitting A Different Plug
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug
proceed as follows: (See diagram).
- Connect the green-yellow or green (Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol or colored green and yellow or green.
- Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or colored black.
- Connect the brown (Live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or colored red.
With alternative plugs a 13 A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician .
Energy Saving Tips
- Ensure your appliance is installed in a well-ventilated area.
- Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your appliance is kept at a minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen food.
- Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each opening.
- Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist cooling in the fridge.

Installation Instructions
- If possible avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed next to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the following minimum side clearances:
- From Cookers 2” (50 mm)
- From Radiators 12” (300 mm)
- From Refrigerators or Larder Fridge 1” (25 mm)
- No gap is required at sides and top. See item 3 below to ensure a gap is obtained at the rear of the appliance. If a gap is available on side and top, retain it if possible as it would improve the air circulation around the appliance.
- Fit the two plastic wall spacers supplied with the appliance on to the condenser at the back of the refrigerator by rotating 1/4 turn (see diagram).
- The appliance should be located on a smooth surface. The two front feet can be adjusted as required.
- To ensure that, your appliance is standing upright adjust the two front feet by turning clockwise or anti-clockwise until the product is in firm contact with the floor. Correct adjustment of feet avoids excessive vibration and noise.
- Refer to the “Cleaning and Care” section to prepare your appliance for use.
- This appliance has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures between +10 and + 32 degrees C (50 and 90 degrees F). However if the appliance is installed in an unheated/cold room (E.g.: Conservatory /annex/shed / garage etc.) it will still operate satisfactorily thanks to the Freezer Guard system developed by Flavel, down to -15°C ambient temperature.
- A special receptacle is supplied to store the mains plug during transit. The receptacle is fixed at the back of the cabinet, on the right-hand side of the compressor. (See diagram) Gently remove the plug from the receptacle. Never pull the mains cord, you may damage the appliance. In the case of transportation, ensure you locate the plug in the receptacle provided to avoid transit damage.
- The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller than 10 cubic metres.
Reversing the doors
Proceed in numerical order
- Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
- Remove all food, loose items and fittings from inside the applianceand door shelves.
- Carefully tilt the appliance on its back side. (1) (You may need somebody to help you.) Take care not to damage the appliance by laying on some protective material (e.g. itsoriginal packaging). Make sure that you tilt the appliance on its back side, otherwise compressor oil may block the pipes and you may damage the appliance.
- Unscrew and remove the LHS front feet and bolt (2).
- Unscrew the bolts and remove the bottom hinge while holding the door (3).
- Remove the door carefully fromthe top hinge by sliding down wards (4).
- eposition top hinge bushing and blanking plug on the opposite side and stand the door safely (5). You may find it easier to remove the bushing and the plug with the tip of a smallscrewdriver. Take care not to mark the door.
- Reposition the top hinge on the opposite side (6 and 7).
- To refit the door, locate the top hinge in the door, attach to the cabinet and hold the door (8).
- Fit the bottom hinge (9). If necessary adjust and then tighten the bolts. Ensure,that the door opens and closes easily and that there are no gaps allowing air into the cabinet. If there are gaps between the door seal and the cabinet, adjust the door seal by gently pulling away from the door using fingers.
- Fit the other front feet (10).
- Carefully stand your appliance. (You may need somebody to help you.) Adjust the front feet (See Installation Instructions)
- Put back all, loose items and fittings.
- Wait for at least 4 hours to allow the system to settle before switching on.Spare plastic parts supplied with the appliance are for your future use during door repositioning.
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/ freezer check that:
- The feet have been adjusted for perfect leveling.
- The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
- Clean the interior as recommended under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
- Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Avoid accidental disconnection by tapping on the switch.
- You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
- if you are going to store already frozen food you don’t need to change the thermostat setting.
- Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used, so do not worry, it is not a defect.
- The front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
- We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at 3 and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (see section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
- Do not load the appliance immediately after it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment).
Important Notes :
- If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
- If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.
- always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface and food remains for hygiene reasons.
Temperature Control And Adjustment
Temperature is controlled by the thermostat which is located on the rear wall
of the cabinet (see the diagram on page 5). The thermostat knob is located on
the thermostat housing. “Number 4” is the coldest setting. The normal storage
temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures may
be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards the ‘number 4 ‘ position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that
the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed
immediately after food is put in or removed.
Using your refrigerator
Defrosting of the appliance
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.
To start defrosting procedure turn the thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively, you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull
out the mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawers. The special defrost collection basin collects the defrost water. Therefore defrosting can be conducted without mess.
Containers full of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives, or forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters, and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, the sponge out any defrost water which collects
at the bottom of the freezer and dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the
thermostat knob to 2. Close the freezer door. Insert the plug into the wall
socket and switch on the electricity supply. Don’t forget to tape over the
switch to avoid accidental disconnection.
Storing Frozen Food
Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a frozen food storage compartment.
The freezing area is marked with a symbol on the door liner.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and
the food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:
- Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
- Do not exceed the “Use By”, and “Best Before” dates on the packaging.
- Please note that drawers, baskets, flaps, and trays are all removable.
Freezing Fresh Food
The freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24-hour period is 10.5 kg (23
lb). Never exceed this maximum capacity.
If you are using the maximum freezing capacity, turn the thermostat knob to
position 4.
Fast freeze compartment (3) is shown in the diagram.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
If the fast freeze compartment (3) is filled with fresh food, other
compartments can also be used to freeze fresh food.
Making ice cubes
- Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer.
- As soon as the water has turned into ice, you can take out the ice cubes.
- Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk of injury!
- Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short moment.
