1. Do not keep your appliance in a room

where the temperature is likely to fall below 10 degrees C (50 degrees F) at night and/or especially in winter, as it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between +10 and +43 degrees C (50 and 109 degrees F). At lower temperatures the appliance may not operate, resulting in a reduction in the storage life of the food.

2. Do not place the appliance near cookers

or radiators or in direct sunlight, as this will cause extra strain on the appliance's functions. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances: From Cookers 30 mm From Radiators 300 mm From Freezers 25 mm

3. Make sure that sufficient room is provided

around the appliance to ensure free air circulation (Item 2).

• Open the door of your refrigerator to set the distance between the refrigerator and the wall (Item 3). 2EN Instruction for use

4. The appliance should be positioned on a

smooth surface. The two front feet can be adjusted as required.To ensure that your appliance is standing upright adjust the two front feet by turning clockwise or anti- clockwise, until firm contact is secured with the floor. Correct adjustment of feet prevents excessive vibration and noise (Item 4).

5. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to

prepare your appliance for use. Getting to know your appliance (Item 1)

1 - Thermostat and lamp housing

2 - Adjustable Cabinet shelves

9 - Shelf for bottles

Suggested arrangement of food in the larder fridge Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and hygiene:

1. This appliance for the short-term storage

of fresh food and drinks.

2. Dairy products should be stored in the

special compartment provided in the door liner.

3. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight

containers and are bes kept on either of the removable shelves.

4. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on

the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.

5. Bottles can be kept in the door section.

6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene

bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food, to avoid contamination. Fo safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.

7. For maximum efficiency, the removable

shelves should not be covered with paper or other materials to allow free circulation of cool air.

8. The shelves are fitted with rear stops and

tilting for storing bottles. Lift shelf clear of grooves when adjusting.

9. To tilt a shelf, place the back of the shelf

one level below the front of the shelf. To remove a tilted shelf, first release the back from the one level below the front of the shelf. To remove a tilted shelf, first release the back from the grooves and then pull.

10. Do not keep vegetable oil on door

shelves. Keep food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before refrigerating. Do not store explosive substances in the refrigerator. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Leftover canned food should not be stored in the can.

11. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage

if kept at temperatures near 0 degrees centigrade. Therefore wrap pineapples, melon, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags.EN Instruction for use Temperature control and adjustment The internal temperature could be adjusted by means of the button from the thermostat. The temperatures obtained inside the appliance could oscillate depending on the usage conditions: location, environmental temperature, doors opening frequency, foods quantity. Position of thermostat button will change depending on these conditions. Generally, for an environmental temperature of 25°C (77°F), thermostat button will be settled on a medium position. Avoid some positions of thermostat button that could involve a continuously running of the appliance. This could involve a temperature decrease under 0°C, therefore the drinks and fresh foods could freeze and an excessive ice quantity could be accumulated on the internal wall. All these above mentioned could involve a decrease of the refrigerating efficiency (increase of the power consumption).

Before operating Final Check Before you start using the appliance check that:

1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect

2. The interior is dry and air can circulate

3. The interior is clean as recommended

under "Cleaning and care.”

4. The plug has been inserted into the wall

socket and the electricity is switched on. When the door is open the interior light will come on. And note that:

5. You will hear a noise as the compressor

starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some (noise), whether the compressor is running or not. This is quite normal.

6. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet

is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is not a defect.

7. We recommend setting the thermostat

knob midway and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).

8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is

switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend checking the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment).EN Instruction for use

Defrosting The larder refrigerator defrosts automatically. The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via a collection channel and is evaporated in a special container at the back of the appliance. (Item 5). During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of the larder refrigerator where a concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the droplets which have refrozen. If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor (Item 6). Replacing the interior light bulb To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your AuthorisedService. The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way. The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20°C. Repositioning the door Proceed in numerical order (Item 7). Cleaning and care

Do- Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to "Best Before" and "Use by" etc. dates. Do- Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil. Do- Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower on the stem. Do- Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and then in a polythene bag, excluding as much air as possible. For best results, take out of the fridge compartment an hour before eating. Do- Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in polythene or aluminium foil. This prevents drying. Do- Wrap fish and offal in polythene bags. Do- Wrap food with a strong odour or which may dry out, in polythene bags, or aluminium foil or place in airtight container. Do- Wrap bread well to keep it fresh. Do- Chill white wines, beer, lager and mineral water before serving.

Don’t- Store bananas in your fridge compartment. Don’t- Store melon in your fridge. It can be chilled for short periods as long as it is wrapped to prevent it flavouring other food. Don’t- Leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the larder refrigerator. Your larder refrigerator has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. Don’t- Cover the shelves with any protective materials which may obstruct air circulation. Don’t- Store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your appliance. It has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. Don’t- Consume food which has been refrigerated for an excessive length of time. Don’t- Store cooked and fresh food together in the same container. They should be packaged and stored separately. Don’t- Let defrosting food or food juices drip onto food.Troubleshooting If the appliance does not operate when switched on, check;

• That the plug is inserted properly in the socket and that the power supply is on. (To check the power supply to the socket, plug in another appliance)

• Whether the fuse has blown/circuit breaker has tripped/main distribution switch has been turned off.

• That the temperature control has been set correctly.

• That the new plug is wired correctly, if you have changed the fitted, moulded plug. If the appliance is still not operating at all after above checks, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the unit. Please ensure that above checks have been done, as a charge will be made if no fault is found.

EN Instruction for use Information about operating noises To keep the selected temperature constant, your appliance occasionally switches ON the compressor. The resulting noises are quite normal. As soon as the appliance has reached the operating temperature, the noises automatically reduce in volume. The humming noise is emitted by the motor (compressor). When the motor switches ON, the noise may briefly increase in volume. The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through the pipes. The clicking noise can always be heard when the thermostat switches ON/OFF the motor. A clicking noise may occur when - the automatic defrosting system is active. - the appliance is cooling down or warming up (material expansion). If these noises are excessively loud, the causes are probably not serious and are usually very easy to eliminate. - The appliance is not level - Use the height- adjustable feet or place packing under the feet. - The appliance is not free-standing - Please move the appliance away from kitchen units or other appliances. - Drawers or shelves are loose or stick - Please check the detachable components and, if required, refit them. - Bottles and/or receptacles are touching each other - Please move bottles and/or receptacles away from each other.
