2.2. Installation

2.2.1. Location

When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16^ C and 38^ C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g.

cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption.

Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.

When installing the unit, ensure that 40 mm of free space is left at both sides, 50 mm at the rear and 20 mm at the top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate around the unit and improve the efficiency of the cooling process. The door can be opened to the right or the left, depending on what better suits the location.

Please ensure there is adequate space for the door to fully open.

2.2.2. Reversing the Door Swing

If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a qualified technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe that you are qualified to do so.

• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
• Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest position.
• To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the unit on something solid so that it will not slip during the door reversing process.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.
• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.
• We recommend that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.

Note: The required tools are: Phillips style screwdriver/Flat bladed screwdriver/Hexagonal spanner.

2.2.3. Proper Installation

2.2.7. Before Using the Unit

Before plugging in you must check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the unit.

Before Turning On!

Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant fluid needs time to settle. You may damage the cooling circuit if the unit is turned on too soon.

Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature.

Your unit should not be overfilled.

2.2.8. Interior Accessories

Various glass or plastic storage shelves are included with your appliance – different models have different combinations.

You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers, and keep it in this position. To do this, pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swiveled upwards or downwards and removed.

Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.

Note: In order to make the most of the volume of the fresh food storage compartment and frozen-food storage compartment, the user can remove one or more shelves, drawers, out of the appliance, according to your daily use.

2.3. Operation

2.3.1. Switching On Your Unit

1. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired position. Bear in mind that the higher the number, the lower the temperature.

Position 3 is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature (between 16^ C and 38^ C). This is located on the top of the cabinet.

Connect the mains cable to the mains socket.

1. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or if you open the door often.

2. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.

3. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.

Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the temperature in the unit should be an average of 5^ C.

FRIDGE/FREEZER THEOMETER °C FRIDGING FRIDGING -30° 20° 10° 0° +10° -20° -30° -40°

2.3.2. Adjusting the Temperature

The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. The recommended position is between 1 and 4 for colder working environments (i.e. during winter) and between 5 and 6 for hotter environments. Please adjust according to the environment.

2.3.3. Noises Inside the Unit

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free

gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

2.3.4. Shopping for Chilled Foods

• Take a quick look at the chilled food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.
• Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep the food cold.
• Do not buy chilled food unless you can chill it straight away. Specially insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These bags can keep chilled food cold for longer while transporting.
• Food that has been left in a car or at room temperature for a prolonged period of time could raise the food temperature to a dangerous level, which allows harmful bacteria to grow.
• Always unpack and place chilled food in the unit before storing dry food.

2.3.5. Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer.
• Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

3. Maintenance

Defrosting

Frost may accumulate on the inner rear surface of the appliance which will automatically defrost during the off cycle of the compressor.

Water is channeled via the drain hole to the collection tray above the compressor where it will evaporate.

Please ensure the drain hole is checked and cleaned on a regular basis so water can exit the storage compartment.

The freezer compartment of this unit is frost-free. With proper use, there should not be any frost accumulated.

However, in case of improper use of the freezer compartment, frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the unit has been used for a period of time.

Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).

Diagram showing a hand holding a circular object with an arrow, inside a container-like structure (no text or symbols)

Note: Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.

We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 10mm. Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:

1. Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick blanket to keep to keep it cool.

2. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer compartment. Scrape away the frost using the plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be

speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer compartment cabinet and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it away with the plastic scraper and remove.

1. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit's interior and exterior.

Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

- Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin first remove the lower door shelf.

- Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin.

- Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.

- The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Cleaning Tips

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Care When Handling / Moving Your Unit

Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.

Servicing

The unit should be serviced by an authorized engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.

Switching Off for Long Periods of Time

When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
