Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or
alkalis in the appliance. This is a household appliance, which is produced by
the national standard. It is intended for food storage only, not for storage
of blood, medicine and biological products. To prevent the risk of fire, keep
the appliance away from petrol or any other inflammables.
To prevent the risk of electromagnetic interference or other accidents, do not place a microwave oven on top of the refrigerator or use any electric appliance inside the refrigerator. Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance. The internal surfaces of the fridge compartment may be very cold when the appliance is running. Avoid touching, if possible, the surfaces especially when hands are wet. Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places of high humidity that may have adverse effects on the electric insulation performance. This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures between 18˚C and 43˚C. Use outside of this range may cause the appliance to fail.
Before first use
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty-four hours before
switching the power on. It is recommended that you clean the interior of the
appliance before 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.
When first switching the appliance on it is advisable to set the fridge to
setting 3 and leave the fridge to settle for 24 hours before adjusting the
temperature to the preferred setting.
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.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance. 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. This refrigeration appliance is intended for use as a built-in appliance

Fridge
- 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 rear wall of the refrigerator as this is a wet wall appliance that during normal usage will form droplets of ice on the rear wall(refer to image on Page 13)and cause items to freeze on the back wall.
- Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge
- Wrap or cover food before putting it into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant odours
- Sort foods before storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by the door being open for prolonged periods
- Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate
- Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help keep the temperature low and save energy
Instruction Manual
Note: If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment it is not
suitable for freezing foodstuffs.
Storage and use
The fridge is for short-term food storage. Although the temperature can be maintained between 0-10˚C, extended periods of food storage are not recommended. As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods should be stored in different sections according to type.
- Butter and eggs
- Food in jars and bottles
- Drinks, e.g. milk
- Cooked food
- Yoghurts and cheese
- Fresh meat and fish
- Fruit and vegetables
The fridge shelves can be moved according to the storage requirements within the fridge section. To move the shelf, lift the front section and then pull it outwards. To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and lower the front section. When storing root vegetables with leaves, such as carrots or turnips, their leaves should be removed. This prevents the leaves from absorbing nutrients from within the vegetables.
Controls
Temperature control
The temperature controls for this fridge are simple and easy to use. To change
the temperature simply press the adjust button on the right-hand side of the
unit to cycle through settings 1 to 5. The warmest setting being 1 and the
coldest being 5. After changing the temperature setting, the time taken to
achieve the new temperature will depend on how big the change is from the
previous setting. Switching on and off When the fridge is connected to a power
supply the lights below the setting numbers will illuminate, indicating which
setting is currently being used. To switch the appliance on and off simply
press and hold the the power button on the left-hand side of the unit for
approximately 5 seconds.
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance. The fridge and crisper sections 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, drawers and balconies separately by hand with a mild solution of washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and the evaporating tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The cleaning rod can be used to clean the drain hole. Always ensure that the drainage channel, visible at the rear of the appliance, is kept clear of debris. If you notice that the drain hole/ channel is iced over, use warm (not boiling) water to remove the ice blockage. If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly ajar to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odours.
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 using the cleaning tool supplied. The defrosted
water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance and
dissipated by evaporation. If you notice a heavy build-up of ice, refer to the
troubleshooting section on ice on page 11.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment:
- Check the drain hole in the channel at the back of the
- The refrigerator is clear. If this is blocked refer back to Care and Cleaning (page10)
- Make sure no food or items are touching the back wall of the fridge as this may cause items to freeze to the back wall and during the automatic de-frost function water may run into the shelves as well as into the lower part of the fridge.
- If ice has formed on the back wall of the fridge:
- It is normal for some ice droplets to form on the back wall of the fridge(see below image) as this is a wet wall fridge. This does not constitute a fault with the appliance
- 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 not correctly installed
- Check the door seal for any kinks, debris or damage. If you notice any and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced.
Installation and ventilation
This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources, e.g. heating elements, cookers or in damp places.

Mounting the fascia doors
Fitting the decor door base fixings With the appliance door open, locate the
metal decor door base fixing brackets and screw the fixings to the decor door.
You may need to remove and re-fit these brackets depending on the decor door
used.
Fitting the decorative cover
Re-fit the decorative cover, that you removed in the first step, onto the
decor door fixing bracket. Check that the whole door assembly operates
smoothly and that the door seal of the refrigerator is still creating a seal.
Reversing the fridge door
We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the doors
whilst performing this operation.
- Open the door
- Carefully prise off the white cover caps for the side that you wish to switch the hinges to
- Loosen the screws that hold the hinges to the fridge cabinet and remove the door
- Remove the screws that secure the hinge to the door
- Place the door somewhere safe where it will not cause or receive damage
- Relocate the hinges to their opposing corners as shown in Fig. 10
- Refit the door to the hinges. Do not turn the door upside down
- Insert the cover caps (3) on the opposite side in the exposed holes
- Ensure that the door seal is correct, as per page 17
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 will remain in position.

Climate range
The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided on the
rating plate. It indicates at which ambient temperature (that is room
temperature at which the appliance is working) is optimal for the operation of
the appliance.
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 in Fig. 1. (page 8) 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. The optimal storage temperature range should be stated on the food packaging.
