IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.
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 recycled. 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.

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.
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.

Use

• 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 internal rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to remove.

Setting the temperature

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.
The fridge will take some time to adjust to the new settings. This will depend on the difference between the old and new settings, the ambient temperature, the amount of food in the fridge and the number of times the door is opened.
To adjust the temperature turn the thermostat control knob clockwise (from off) to the required level. The temperature becomes colder the higher the number on the control.
We recommend initially setting the temperature control in mid range for the first 24 hours then adjusting the temperature up or down from this point as your personal preference.

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 water.
• Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand using soap and water. 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 compartment. The drainplug can be used to clear the drain hole.
• Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the mains power supply.
• 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.
• The door seal should be cleaned periodically.
• Clean the switch, lamp and thermostat control with a dry cloth.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the troubleshooting prior to calling CDA Customer Care to prevent unnecessary service calls and potential cost.

If the appliance is not working

• Check there is power to the appliance.
• The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.
• The thermostat is not set to 0 (off position).
• The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another electrical appliance in to see if the socket is working.
• The temperature of the room is adequate (10°C or above).

If the appliance is working, but not very well

• The appliance is not overloaded.
• The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature.
• The door is 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 and rear walls.
• The temperature of the room is adequate (10°C or above).

If the appliance is noisy

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

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

• The drain hole in the channel at the back of the compartment is clear.

Please note:
The LED lighting cannot be replaced without a service call. If the light fails, contact CDA Customer Care.

Installation And Ventilation

This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources i.e. heating elements, cookers or in damp places
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.

Ventilation

The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling compartment needs to be dissipated into the atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive power consumption and total system failure. For products intended to be installed into a tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be met: –

Important
Please follow the instructions to install this unit

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 can get in, the better and more efficient the operation of the product.

Reversing the door

It is possible to reverse the door on this appliance if required. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Loosen the top hinge fixing screws and remove the top hinge, taking care to support the weight of the door.
2. Lift the door from the bottom hinge and place on a soft surfaceto protect the door from damage.
3. Refit the hinge taken from the top to the opposite lower corner, as in figure 4.
4. Replace the door and refit the hinge taken from the lower corner to the opposite top corner.
5. Adjust the hinges to ensure the door is aligned correctly.

Mounting the Fascia Door

• Using a screwdriver, fix the mounting brackets to the appliance door, as shown in figure 5.
• Position the appliance within the unit. Ensure that there is a gap of 3 to 4 mm between the non-hinged side and the cabinet wall.
• Locate the slider in the bracket and fix the slider to the fascia door 20 to 22 mm from the edge of the fascia as shown in figure 5, ensuring that the slider is positioned centrally and horizontally within the bracket. Tighten securely by hand. 20 mm
• Fill the gap on the non-hinged side with the seal strip provided, as shown in figure 6.
