This appliance/s are designed to fit into cabinetry with 18mm thickness
This appliance must never be installed close to its sources or cooking appliances. It should also not been stored in damp locations. Seek the help of another individual, when installing this appliance. Is appliances may have sharp edges. You should wear adequate protection equipment for the task and installation environment.
To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the height adjustable feet at the front of the appliance
The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the rear wall
The appliance must be installed with adequate ventilation. Insure that there is a clear rinse above the appliance to allow air to escape and that there is space between the rear of the appliance and the wall

VENTILATION
The main consideration when installing this refrigerator unit into a fitted kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling compartment needs to evaporate into the atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive power consumption, total system failure and may void the warranty provided with your appliance. What products intended to be installed into a tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be met.
The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct operation of the appliance it is important that at the top of the housing unit it is not blocked off. Channel depth of 50 mm is normal with most units. If ventilation hole is required in the plinth of the unit, this allows air to be drawn over the compressor and heat exchange. Required airflow can be achieved by removal of a thin section of the plinth (recommended 600mm x 10mm minimum)

VENTILATION GRILL
It is recommended that you use the supplied grill vent.
The specifications of this are approximately 175mm x 465mm x 20mm.
If you are using your own vent, it must equal the minimum size opening of the supplied vent. If the furniture does not allow free air into the room then a plinth vent, or other means of ventilation needs to be provided to ensure a natural flow of air There should be space at the rear of the cabinet to allow cool air to be drawn over the condenser.
Recommended: 500 x 35mm (recommended 600mm x 10mm).

Fig. 1 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 ventilation hole is required in the plinth of the unit; this allows air to 15 be drawn over the compressor & heat exchange.
The required air flow can be achieved by removal of a thin section of plinth (recommended 500mm x 50mm minimum).

As a rule, the more air that can get in and out, the better and more efficient the operation of your product will be.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE INTO THE CABINETRY

PLACING THE REFRIGERATOR INTO THE CABINET
With the help of another individual, manoeuvre the appliance into the cabinet. Pull the power cord through a pre drilled hole at the back of the cabinet or a the power point is inside the cabinet, plug in the refrigerator before installing it into the cabinet. Ensure you do not kink or bend the power cord as damaging the cord could be a safety and fire risk.
For safety reasons, only turn the main power on the appliance once the installation process is complete.

Lift and slide the appliance into the cabinet then adjust its position making sure that the top adjustment plate is meeting the top of the cupboard. Ensure that the appliance is centred in the cabinet cavity checking the side panel and the door gasket is attached to the front end of the cupboard sides.

Check that the lips of the spacers are lined up with the top lip of the cabinet.

There are two metal plates at the base of the appliance. Fit the supplied spacers as illustrated. Ensure that the step in from the cabinet base edge to the appliance is the same on both sides.Using a level, check that the appliance is aligned correctly and using a spanner, adjust the levelling feet as required.
Fix the appliance to the cabinet by screwing through the 2 screw holes in the top plate lip

Fasten the side surfaces of the hinge with screws. Fix one screw to the top hinge and one screw to the bottom hinge. Then fix all other screws to the remaining hinges.

Fasten the hinge side with screws putting one at the top hinge and one at the bottom hinge, check the alignment and then fasten the remaining screws. Remove the 2 plastic spacers at the bottom and fix the appliance to the cabinet base, and re-apply the spacers (these are also used as covers for the bottom bracket).

ATTACHING THE DOOR PANEL
Close the appliance door and measure from the top of the cabinet cavity to the bottom of the door bracket on both sides ensuring that the distance is the same. You will need to know this measurement when pre-drilling the fixing points in the decor panel.

Remove the bracket by loosening the hexagonal screws located at the top of the door. Fig.2 Lift the bracket it upwards and it should come free. Do the same for all doors. Be careful to not bend the bracket. MOUNTING BRACKET TO THE CABINET DOOR/S
Place the each cabinet door (face down) onto a clean floor or large blanket so it does not get damaged.

Fix the panel bracket to the top of each cabinet door. Measure and adjust to ensure the centre line at the top bracket aligns with the centre of the decor door. The alignment guides should latch onto the top of the cabinet door.

Using the measurements taken whilst the mounting bracket was fixed to the door panel, mark the decor panel on each side and
draw a vertical guide line across the panel. This will show you where to place the base of the bracket. Fig. 4

Then, measure the centre point so you have a definite drill guide for the bracket screws. Use a ‘set square’ to draw these guides.

Once aligned, pre-drill the holes then place the bracket over the guides and screw wood screws to attach the decor bracket to the cabinet door. Screw into any other fixing holes (there should be 10). Fig. 4

MOUNTING THE DOOR PANEL TO THE APPLIANCE
Ensure that there is a gap of 3–4 mm between the non-hinge side of the appliance and the vertical cabinet wall.
Mount the door panel onto the appliance door using the screw thread ad a fixing guide.
Screw the bracket back onto to the appliance and use the hex nut to secure and level.
Locate the slider in the bracket and fix the slider to the fascia door 20–22 mm from the edge of the fascia as shown in Fig. 5.

Ensuring that the slider is positioned sensually and horizontally within the bracket. Allow for some horizontal movement of the cabinet door/s. Once you are happy with the alignment of each door, tighten securely by hand then use a spanner to fix into position.Once you are happy with the alignment and have checked that the door closes and seals properly, fix the remaining vertical  brackets provided to the appliance door and decor panel using wood screws.

Fit all remaining covers to the appliance, concealing any screw holes and bracket bolts.
Fill the gap on the non-hinged side with the gasket/seal strip provided, as shown Fig 6.

Ensure the appliance door opens correctly, closes and seals properly.
Once complete, and you are happy with the fit of the appliance in the cabinet, bend and snap the ’T’ parts of the white spaces at the bottom of the appliance marked S as shown by the dotted outline in Fig. 7.
Leave the rest of the spacer cover in place over the metal plates
Install the ventilation grill at the kick panel void section at the appliance base cabinet. Fix the ventilation grill into the kick strip. Fig. 8.

IMPORTANT
After completing the installation, check that the appliance is secured within the cabinet unit and that the doors close and open correctly. If there is no resistance from the door seals when opening the doors, then it is probable that the appliance and all decor doors are not fitted properly

REVERSING THE APPLIANCE DOOR – TO BE DONE BEFORE FITTING THE PANEL
We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the doors whilst performing this operation. Always wear adequate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for the task at hand. Prepare a surface with a soft, clean towel or similar where you can place the door during these steps.

1. Carefully remove the cover cap for the top hinge and unscrew the screws fixing the top hinge to the appliance, you should support the door whilst doing this.
2. Carefully remove the door from the bottom hinge (by lifting) and place it somewhere safe. Note that there may be spacers between the door and the hinge; note how many and their position.
3. Swap the previous top hinge to the opposite side at the bottom.
4. Place the door onto the new bottom hinge. Support it.
5. Refit the “new” top hinge and fix securely to the appliance.
6. Fit the central cover caps and top hinge cover pieces in place to complete the process.
7. Unscrew all four slider brackets from the door and swap them over to the side furthest from the new hinge positions, before the decor door is fitted.

ENSURING THE DOOR SEALS CORRECTLY:
It is normal for the seal to be compressed after the door has been reversed. With the door closed, use a hair dryer to expand the seal and fill the gap between the door and the body of the appliance. Take care not to use the hair dryer too close to the appliance, which could damage the seal. A distance of approximately 10cm should be adequate. When completed, allow the seal and door to cool before touching them. Once done, the seal should remain in position.

BEFORE FIRST USE

You must allow the appliance to settle for at least twenty four (24) 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 freezer may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.

DURING USE

• Avoid overcrowding the fridge shelves, as this reduces airflow.
• Avoid using shelf liners, as this reduces airflow.
• Avoid loading large amounts or warm food at once
• Allow for good clearances in front of the air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.
• Your refrigerator is at its most efficient when it is 2/3 full.
• Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary
• Organize items in the refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open when accessing items.

BEFORE PLACING FOOD IN THE FRESH FOOD OR FREEZER COMPARTMENTS

• Remove all packaging found inside the compartments eg tape, polystyrene etc.
• Clean the inside of the appliance with a mixture of warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
• The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator has cooled sufficiently.
• Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.

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 on page 16. 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.

PLEASE NOTE:
The appliance will start on a factory set temperature setting and work continuously until it comes down to the optimum temperature. If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent possible damage to the compressor. Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance.

The ILFRZ freezer 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 some frosting is not a malfunction of the freezer.

CRISPER DRAWER HUMIDITY ADJUSTMENT (ILREF256I/2)
The crisper drawer within this appliance features a humidity level adjustment slider. Vegetables and similar produce that are subject to wilting (e.g. rocket, spinach leaves, herbs such as basil etc.) should be kept in the crisper drawer and the adjustment slider kept closed (fully to the left -high). By keeping the adjustment slider closed, water vapour is held in the drawer and subsequently greens are kept crisper and fresher for longer.

By contrast, fruits that are susceptible to rotting should be stored in the crisper drawer with the humidity adjustment slider fully open (to the right -low). This will allow gases, emitted by certain produce and that accelerate the rotting process, to exit the crisper drawer. The drawer is marked high and low with vegetable and fruit symbols to aid you.

FRESH ZONE (ILREF256I/2)
The Fresh Zone is a chiller box that keeps food stored at a temperature between -2°C and 3°C and the humidity at just the right level. This will help meat, fish and dairy products stay fresher for longer and also keep any unwanted odours from the main fridge compartment.

GENERAL FRIDGE/FREEZER USE ( ILREF256I/2)

• 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.

Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance. The drawer sections should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate soda and lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean the compartments separately by hand with a mild solution of washing up liquid and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or detergents. 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 APPLIANCE

DEFROSTING THE ILREF256/2 FRIDGE

The fridge is self defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge, unless the drain hole is blocked. It is important to keep the channel clear at all times using the cleaning tool/drain plug supplied. Defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are regularly finding pools of water in the fridge, we noticed that the compressor is always running, then it is likely that the door is not ceiling properly. This could be due to a defective door seal or incorrectly or over heavy decor door panel. For more information, see troubleshooting section in this manual.

DEFROSTING THE ILREF256/2 FREEZER
The freezer has a no frost system which is designed to prevent the heavy build up of ice. Under normal use, there should be no need to regularly defrost the freezer system.
To help in times of service or cleaning, the appliance has a forced defrost mode which can be activated by pressing and holding buttons E and H (see control panel page 17) for approximately 3 seconds. Once activated the freezer display
will flash to confirm. The cycle will automatically deactivate once the defrost sensor has reached 8°C, or has run for a maximum of 50 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are regularly finding a heavy build up of ice, or pools of water, in the freezer section then it is likely that the door is not sealing properly. This could be due to a defective door seal or an incorrectly fitted, or overly heavy, decor door. For more information see the troubleshooting section on ice on page 21 & 23.

DEFROSTING THE ILREF316I/2
The fridge is a forced air system so will not require any defrosting.

DEFROSTING THE ILFRZ217I/2 FREEZER
The freezer is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out through the channel at the back of the freezer, unless the drain hole is blocked. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation (when the compressor gets hot).
PLEASE NOTE: If you are regularly finding pools of water in the freezer, frost build-ups, or you notice that the compressor is always running, then it is likely that the door is not sealing properly. This could be due to a defective door seal or an incorrectly fitted, or overly heavy, decor door.
For more information see the troubleshooting section on ice on page 22.

CHANGING THE LIGHT
If the LED lights in fails in any way, it should be replaced by authorized service agents. In the event of light failure within your fridge please contact customer care to arrange a service. Contact details are within the warranty information in this manual

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the troubleshooting prior to calling the Customer Care.

ILREF256/2
IF THE APPLIANCE IS NOT WORKING, YOU SHOULD CHECK:

• That there is power to the appliance.
• The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.
• The appliance has not been turned off at the socket or on the control panel
• The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another electrical appliance in to see if the socket is faulty.

IF THE APPLIANCE IS WORKING, BUT NOT VERY WELL, YOU SHOULD CHECK:

• 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 and underneath.

IF THE APPLIANCE IS NOISY, YOU SHOULD CHECK:

• 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 THE APPLIANCE IS BEEPING, YOU SHOULD CHECK:

• That the doors are closed. An alarm will sound after 60 seconds of a door being open.

IF EXCESSIVE ICE HAS FORMED IN THE FREEZER:

• 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 incorrectly fitted and this can be due to the decor door(s) not being properly fitted. If you are at all unsure, ask your fitter to check the decor doors.
• 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.
• To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the height adjustable feet at the front of the appliance.
• The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the rear wall.
