7IMPORTANT SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

This appliance is marked according to European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). WEEE contains both basic components (which can be re-used) and polluting substances (which can have negative impacts on the environment). It is important that WEEE undergo specific treatments in order to remove and properly dispose of all pollutants and recover and recycle all re-usable materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental problem; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

• WEEE should not be treated as household waste;

• WEEE should be disposed of at the appropriate collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, at-home pick-up may be available. In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer, who is obliged to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of an equivalent type and has the same functions as the equipment being supplied. By placing the mark on this product, we are confirming compliance with all relevant European safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable to this product by law. For optimal energy saving, we recommend the following:

• Install the appliance away from heat sources, out of direct sunlight and in a well-ventilated room.

• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator, which would raise the internal temperature, thus causing the compressor to run continuously.

• Do not overfill the compartments, as this prevents air from circulating properly.

• If ice should form, defrost the appliance in order to facilitate the transfer of cold.

• In the event of an electrical power failure, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.

• Open the appliance doors as infrequently and for the briefest amounts of time possible.

• Do not adjust the settings to extremely cold temperatures.

• Remove any dust that accumulates on the back of the appliance You must allow the fridge to settle for at least four 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, then thoroughly dry the interior. The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools. NOTE The appliance will start operating at 5°C for the fridge and -18° C for the freezer and work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperatures. If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again in order to prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor. Never store inflammable or explosive items, 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 frost at the back does not mean that the fridge is malfunctioning. 8USE

• Never put liquids into the refrigerator uncovered

• Never put hot foods into 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 will cause the formation of frost, which will be difficult to remove, and possible condensation problems.

• Make sure food is clean and that any excess water is wiped off before putting it into the fridge.

• Wrap or cover food before putting it into the fridge. This will help impede the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and prevent unpleasant odours.

• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelves. This will help to prevent deterioration, which could occur when the door is kept open for long periods of time.

• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between foods to allow cool air to circulate.

• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.

• Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat from contaminating other foodstuffs.

• The freezer compartments are designed to store frozen food only.

• Never put hot or warm foods into the freezer; allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.

• When storing frozen food, follow the instructions on the food packaging. If no information is provided, foods should not be stored for longer than three months after the purchase date.

• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1 kg). This reduces freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing.

• Wrap food before putting it into the freezer. To stop the wrapping from sticking together, ensure it is dry.

• Label food before freezing, with information including type of food and dates of storage and expiration.

• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. In order to prevent wastage, only defrost as much food as is required.

• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartments, as they could explode.

• The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is 2.6 kg.

• Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

• The temperature inside the Fresco drawer can be regulated within a range of between +3°C and -3°C. This is the ideal drawer for storing meat and fish. 9USE STORAGE Fig. 1 Fig. 2 The fridge section is for short-term food storage. Although low temperatures can be maintained, it is not recommended to store food for extended periods. The temperature can vary between the different sections as the cold air circulates within the fridge. For this reason, foods should be stored in different sections according to type.

12CARE AND MAINTENANCE

LED LIGHT REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE The LED light is intended to be non- replaceable by the user; it needs to be replaced by a service professional. Lighting parameters: 12V / 10W

1) Unplug the power plug.

2) Remove the aluminium alloy trim strip on the top of the

LED surface light source, then remove the left and right mounting screws. Steps 1 and 2 are shown below.

3) Install the new LED light board.

Always disconnect the appliance from the mains power before performing any cleaning or maintenance. The fridge and freezer 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 and door bins separately by hand with a mild solution of washing-up liquid and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period 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 product has a No Frost system, which is designed to prevent heavy build-up of ice. Under normal conditions of use, there should be no need to regularly defrost the freezer system. NOTE If you are regularly finding a heavy build-up of ice or puddles 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 cabinet door panel. For more information, see the troubleshooting section about ice. TROUBLESHOOTING If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check this troubleshooting section prior to calling Customer Care. If the appliance is not working, check that:

• The appliance is receiving electrical power.

• The fuses in the home are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.

• The fridge has not been turned off.

• The electrical outlet is functioning properly. To check this, plug another electrical appliance into it to see if the outlet is faulty. If the appliance is working, but not very well, check that:

• The appliance is not overloaded.

• The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature.

• The doors are closing properly.

• The cooling system on the back of the appliance is clean and free of dust and is not touching the rear wall.

• There is enough ventilation around the side and rear walls.

If the appliance is noisy, check that:

• The appliance is level and stable.

• The side and rear walls are clear and there is nothing resting against the appliance. NOTE The coolant gas in the refrigerator may make a slight bubbling or gurgling noise, even when the compressor is not running. If the appliance is beeping, check that:

• The doors are closed. An alarm will sound after a door has been open for 60 seconds. 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. This does not constitute a fault with the appliance.

• Ensure that no items inside the fridge are in contact with the back wall.

• Check that there is some resistance when opening the appliance door. If it opens at the slightest touch, it may mean that the door seal needs to be replaced.

• 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.

• This can be due to the cabinet door(s) not being properly fitted. If you are at all unsure, ask your installer to check the cabinet doors. If excessive ice has formed in the freezer:

• Check that there is some resistance when opening the appliance door. If it opens at the slightest touch, it may mean that the door seal needs to be replaced.

• 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.

• This can be due to the cabinet door(s) not being properly fitted. If you are at all unsure, ask your installer to check the cabinet doors. If one or more of the LED units inside the appliance is not working:

This appliance must not be installed close to heat sources, e. g. heating elements or cookers, or in a damp location. Seek the help of one or two other individuals when installing this appliance. This appliance may have sharp edges. Wear PPE appropriate to the task and the environment.

• Use the height-adjustable feet at the front of the appliance to ensure that the appliance is level.

• The cooling system on the back of the appliance must not touch the rear wall. The larger the gap, the better.

• The appliance must be installed with adequate ventilation. Ensure that there is clearance 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 any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling compartment needs to be dissipated into the air around the appliance. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive power consumption and total system failure, and it may invalidate the warranty provided with the appliance. Fig. 5 For appliances intended to be installed inside a tall housing cabinet, the following requirements must be met: 15INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Fig. 6 PRODUCT CODE A B

PRODUCT CODE J K L M

• B Recommended size of vent opening: 500 x 30 mm

• C min. 30 mm There should be an air intake somewhere inside the cabinet to allow air into flow freely in. In this example, a base vent is shown underneath the refrigerator. A cut-out should be made in the base beneath the fridge/ freezer and this finished neatly around the air vent grille. Alternatively, a thin section of the base can be removed to allow air into the unit (the recommended size is 600 mm x 10 mm). The top of the cabinet needs to be vented into the room. If the cabinet does not allow air to flow freely into the room, then a base 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 35 mm The clearance at the rear of the appliance is clearly shown. In order for the appliance to operate properly, it is important that the top of the housing cabinet not be blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50 mm is normal for most units. A ventilation hole is required in the base of the cabinet; this allows for air to be drawn over the compressor and for heat exchange. As a rule, the more air can get in and out, the better and more efficiently the product operates.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (SLIDING

HINGE) With the help of one or two other individuals, move the appliance into the cabinet. There are two metal plates at the base of the appliance. Fit the supplied white spacers to these plates; when finished, snap off the inverted "T" section.

1) Insert the appliance into the cabinet, placing it on the far

side with respect to the hinges, making sure to leave a 3-5 mm gap.

2) After checking the alignment of the appliance door and

the cabinet door, mount the plastic covers from the accessories bag. Fig. 11

3) Tighten the screws for the appliance's lower part.

4) Fit the seal onto the appliance, cutting off any excess as

necessary. Mount the plastic covers on the bottom parts. Fig. 13

5) Use a crosshead screwdriver to loosen the connecting

pin underneath the right middle hinge and adjust it to screw onto the right cabinet wall. Fig. 14 MOUNTING THE CABINET DOOR(S)

1) Ensure that there is a gap of 3 to 4 mm between the

non-hinged side of the fridge and the cabinet wall.

2) Locate the slider in the bracket and mount the slider on

the cabinet door, 20 to 22 mm from the long edge of the cabinet door, as shown in the following image, ensuring that the slider is positioned centrally and horizontally within the bracket. Tighten securely by hand.

3) Fill the gap on the non-hinged side with the gasket/

sealing strip provided. Fig. 16

4) The finished look for the door sliders should be similar to

those shown in the following image, which shows 2 sliders in place. Fig. 17

• A Cabinet door Ensure the appliance doors open, close and seal properly. Once complete, and if you are happy with the fit of the appliance in the cabinet, bend and snap off the parts of the white spacers marked "S", as shown by the dotted outline. Fig. 18 Leave the remaining portions of the spacer covers in place over the metal plates. IMPORTANT After completing the installation, check that the appliance is secure within the cabinet and that the door(s) close and open properly. If there is no resistance from the door seals when opening the door(s), then it is probable that the appliance and/or cabinet door (s) are not fitted properly.
