BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Do not position this appliance with its rear panel directly against a wall. For good circulation and operating efficiency, the ventilation grilles must never be blocked.
• Remove all packaging and place the fridge on a stable, secure flat surface. Position the fridge away from heat sources, where the unit is well-ventilated and protected from moisture, or extremes of heat or cold. The refrigerator may not function properly if the ambient temperature rises above +40°C for prolonged periods of time.
• Ensure the vents behind the fridge are clear and clean, and not obstructed from the other side.
• Do not use an extension lead. If the mains cable will not reach the nearest socket, either rearrange your installation layout or ask a qualified electrician to fit a new socket.
• If power is cut off, wait for at least 5 minutes before plugging the unit in again to avoid damaging the compressor.

Do not place combustible, explosive or volatile articles, corrosive acid or alkali, or liquid in glass containers into the fridge. Always exercise caution if adjusting the temperature.

IMPORTANT: Allow the refrigerator to stand still and upright for 8 hours before plugging it into the power!

Thermostat settings

• The setting 1 (MIN) to 5 (MAX) regulates the interior temperature.
• Setting 1 (or MIN) = lowest setting (warmest internal temperature)
• Setting 5 (or MAX) = highest setting (coldest internal temperature)

To operate

The temperature in the appliance is controlled by the temperature control knob located on the rear of the fridge on the outside of the product. Rotate the control knob left or right to regulate the temperature inside the fridge. You may need a flat-headed screwdriver or a coin to do this.

To turn the unit off, disconnect the plug from the mains supply.

Note: If the unit is unplugged or power is lost, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting. If you attempt to restart the unit before this delay, the unit will not start.

Tips for refrigeration

Adjust the internal temperature according to the amount of product and the ambient temperature. The inner temperature varies in different parts of the refrigerator. The back of the refrigerator is the coldest.

Back of unit

REPLACING LAMPS

Your fridge uses a long-life, energy-saving LED light tube. Should you need to replace this light, please contact your nearest stockist or service agent for a suitable replacement part.

To change the light tube:

1. Unplug the power plug and ensure the light switch is off.
2. For models with light cover, remove the screws on both ends of the light cover, take off the lamp cover, and pull out the wires slightly.
3. Gently pull out the connector at the end of the light tube.
4. Insert the connector into the new lamp, place the lamp cover, and fasten it.

CLEANING

1. Unplug your fridge from the power source and remove any items from inside. It is best to place these temporarily in another refrigerator. 2. Wash the inner compartment with warm water and a neutral mild detergent. DO NOT allow the

control panel, cables, or plug to get wet.

NEVER use corrosive detergents, wire brushes, or abrasive scourers to clean your fridge.

NEVER use metal or sharp implements to scrape any part of the fridge.

1. Dry all surfaces thoroughly.
2. To ensure trouble-free operation, the condenser should be cleaned every three months where appropriate using a vacuum hose. The condenser is located behind the lower grill of the cabinet. In

exceptionally dusty environments, it is recommended that areas around the condenser are cleaned more often.

1. Use mild soapy water to clean the gasket and seals around the door.
2. The external surfaces of the fridge can be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent.

• The fridge will go through a normal periodical defrosting cycle, and a manual defrosting operation is only required in most extreme cases. It is better to avoid it if not necessary.
• While in the 'defrost' mode, the fridge cooling power

is reduced, as the compressor is not working. The automatic cycles ensure the defrosting is done in the most efficient manner, and when required. It is not recommended to leave the fridge in manually set defrost mode for prolonged periods of time.

Note: in normal operation the controller turns the compressor off at the set temperature, and back on after the temperature has risen by around 5°C. As such, the reading in the electronic controller is almost always a few degrees above set point and that is perfectly OK.

NOTE: Do not recommend to operate the fridge on settings that run below 4°C/MAX, as such settings will cause content at the rear of the fridge close to evaporator to freeze, and will result in unnecessary strain on the cooling systems, and undue high energy consumption.
