Appliance Model
Serial Number
EU Declarations of Conformity:
This appliance has been designed, constructed and marketed in compliance with safety requirements of EU Directive 2014/35/EU and requirements of EU Directive 2014/30/EU.
This appliance has been manufactured to the strictest standards and complies with all applicable legislation, including Electrical safety (LVD) and Electromagnetic interference compatibility (EMC). Parts intended to come into contact with food conform to 1934/2004/EC.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. The refrigeration system contains insulating gases and refrigerants, which require specialised waste disposal. The valuable materials contained in this appliance can be recycle. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service.
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 deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in 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.
Note: If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment ( ) it is not suitable for freezing foodstuffs.
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 dry the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
Do not load the fridge with food until at least 2 hours have passed and the fridge is close to correct temperature.
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.
- 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.
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.
Controls and Use
A. Fridge temperature adjustment sensor
This button is used to adjust the temperature within the fridge. Press this
sensor once to activate adjustment, and then as many times as necessary until
the desired level is selected. The settings range from 2 to 8 with 2 being the
coldest and 8 being the warmest.
B. Super cool function
This should be used when cooling large quantities of food all at once.
Activate this function 2 or 3 hours before introducing the food and do not
leave it to run for more than necessary. Leaving it to run for longer will
place unnecessary strain on the cooling system. The function will
automatically deactivate after approximately 24 hours.
C. Fridge temperature setting display
This display will illuminate the current temperature setting. Adjusting the
temperature will cycle through this display.
Please note: You do not use the numbers to change the temperature. Instead, use the refrigerator temperature adjustment sensor ( A ).
D. Power button
Use this sensor to switch the appliance on and off (standby mode). The sensor will be illuminated when the appliance is off.
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power before any cleaning or maintenance.
- The refrigerator should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm.
- Do not use abrasive products or After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand using soap and Do not put them in the dishwasher.
- The evaporating tray and water drain hole (at the back of the compartment) should be cleaned periodically to prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the The drainplug can be used to clear the drain hole.
- Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the mains power.
- If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time or in the event of a prolonged power cut unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.

Installation And Ventilation
This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources i.e. heating elements, cookers or in damp places
**** This refrigeration appliance is intended for use as a built-in appliance.
The diagram shows the ventilation requirements for your product.
Failure to provide adequate ventilation can lead to increased running costs and premature failure and may invalidate the warranty provided with the product.
The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct operation of the appliance it is important that the top of the housing unit is not blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50mm is normal with most units.
A hole is shown in the base shelf of the unit; this allows air to be drawn over the compressor & heat exchange. Some installers fit a decorative plinth vent. In most cases this is not required, but is a welcome aesthetic addition.
As a rule, the more air that can get in and around the appliance, the better and more efficient the operation of the product.

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.
Storage
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.9. In addition this figure illustrates the layout of drawers, baskets and shelves, which allows the most efficient use of energy.
