This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a),a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has,however,led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor,you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable,and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Notes on daily use

Do not put hot food in the machine.
Do not place food directly against the rear panel.
Frozen food must not be refrozen after defrosting.
Store packaged frozen food according to the instructions of the frozen food manufacturer.
Do not place carbonated fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as the pressure they generate can cause them to explode and damage the appliance.
Open the door as rarely as possible.
Do not leave the door open too long.
Do not set the thermostat too low.
To reduce energy consumption, leave all accessories, such as drawers, shelves or racks in the appliance.

Notes on installation

Unpack the machine and check for damage. Do not connect the machine if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the manufacturer. Save the original packaging for possible return shipment.
Wait at least four hours before connecting the unit to allow the coolant to distribute itself in the cooling circuit.
Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation around the unit. Otherwise, the unit may overheat.
If possible, the spacers on the unit should rest against the wall. This prevents burns caused by touching the hot compressor or condenser.
The unit must not be installed near radiators or cookers.
Make sure that the mains plug is always accessible after the unit has been installed.

CLEANING AND CARE

Outside
The outside of your refrigerator can be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry with kitchen towel. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners on any part of your refrigerator as these could permanently damage or discolour the surfaces.

Internal Cleaning
Wipe up any internal spills immediately with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Dry thoroughly.

Shelves and Guards
Any shelves can be removed and cleaned separately.

Door Seals
Ensure that the door seals are kept free from debris at all times. If they don‘t seal properly this can waste energy and cause refrigeration unit to over run.

Remove the 6 screws that affix the hinges to the door
Remove the blanking plugs from the opposite side and use those to plug the holes exposed by the removal of the hinge from the cabinet frame
Screw the hinges to the opposite side of the door
Pick up the door and carefully align it with the cabinet holes
Screw the remaining 6 screws in to both hinges and the 2 spacers into the cabinet to secure the door.

inside the cabinet.

| Adjust thermostat up or down accord ingly. Make sure nothing is stopping the door from sealing properly.
No power to cooler.| Check power cor d, power supply or on/off switch.
