It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.

Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

• WEEE should not be treated as household waste;
• WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

Conformity

By placing the C E mark on this product, we are confirming compliance to all relevant European safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable in legislation for this product.

Energy Saving

For better energy saving we suggest :

• Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well ventilated room.
• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functionalitng of the compressor.
• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
  In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
• Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible
• Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
• Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance

Before first use

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 and then thoroughly drying the interior.

The fridge may have an odor to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.

Please note:

The appliance will start 5^ for fridge and -18^ for freezer and 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.

Fridge use

• 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 will cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to remove.
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.
• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant odors.
• Sort foods prior to 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 to keep the temperature low and save energy.
• Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat contaminating other foodstuffs.

Freezer use

The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.
- Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.
- Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date.
- Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1kg ). This reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing.
- Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.
- Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and dates of storage and expiry.
- Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only defrost as much food as is required to prevent wastage.
- 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 2.6kg
- Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

Chiller Zone drawer

The temperature inside the My Zone drawer can be regulated from 0^ to -5^ . This is the ideal drawer to store meat and fish.

Storage

The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although low temperatures can be maintained, extended periods of food storage is 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.

1. Butter, cheeses etc.
2. Food in jars and bottles
   3.Drinks,e.g.milk
3. Cooked food
4. Yogurts, preserves etc.
5. 75cl bottles or ready meals etc.
6. Fruit and vegetables
7. 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 up the rear section and then pull it outwards.

To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and then lower the rear section.

Clean the shelves and balconies 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 to be used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly ajar to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odors.

Defrosting

The product has a no frost system which is designed to prevent the heavy build up of ice. Under normal use, there should be no need to regularly defrost the freezer system.

Please note: If you are regularly finding a heavy build up of ice, or pools 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, decor door. For more information see the troubleshooting section about ice.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check the troubleshooting prior to calling Customer Care.

If the appliance is not working, check:

• That there is power to the appliance.
  The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.
  The fridge has not been turned off.
• The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another electrical appliance in to see if the socket is faulty.

If the appliance is working, but not very well, check:

The appliance is not overloaded.
- The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature.
The doors are closing properly.
The cooling system at the rear of the appliance is clean and free of dust, and not touching the rear wall.
- There is enough ventilation at the side and rear walls.

If the appliance is noisy, check:

The appliance is level and stable.
The side and rear walls are clear, and there is nothing resting on the appliance.
- Note: The cooling 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 60 seconds of a door being open.

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 door of the appliance. 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 decor door(s) not being properly fitted. If you are at all unsure, ask your fitter to check the décor doors.

If excessive ice has formed in the freezer:

• 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.
• 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 decor door(s) not being properly fitted. If you are at all unsure, ask your fitter to check the decor doors.

Installation preparation

This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources, e.g. heating elements or cookers, nor in damp places.

Seek the help of another individual, or two, when installing this appliance. This appliance may have sharp edges. Wear adequate PPE for the task and environment.

To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the height adjustable feet at the front of the appliance.
The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the rear wall. The greater 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 atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive power consumption, total system failure and may invalidate the warranty provided with the appliance. For products intended to be installed into a tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be met:

Installation Instruction

NorFrost TUNDRA TNF 177 BI SL/B

NorFrost ICE TNF 177 BSL/B

The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct operation of the appliance it is important that the top of the housing unit is not blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50mm is normal with most units.

A ventilation hole is required in the plinth of the unit; this allows air to be drawn over the compressor & heat exchange.

As a rule, the more air that can get in and out, the better and more efficient the operation of the produc

Installation Instruction (sliding hinge)

With the help of another individual, or two, 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. Ensure that the lips of the cabinet base.

Insert the appliance into the column placing it on the opposite site of the hinges, and make sure 3-5 mm distance gap.

1

After ensuring the match between appliance door and column door, fix the plastic covers from accessories bag.

2

Screw the appliance lower part.

3

Fit the seal to the appliance, cut off the excessive part if necessary. Fit the bottom parts with plastic covers.

4

Use a cross-screwdriver to loosen the connecting pin underneath the right middle hinge, and adjust to screw onto the right cabinet wall.

5

Mounting the fascia doors

• Ensure that there is a gap of 3 to 4mm between the non-hinged side and the cabinet wall.
• Locate the slider in the bracket and fix the slider to the fascia door 20
  to 22mm from the edge of the fascia as shown in following pic., ensuring that the slider is positioned centrally and horizontally within the bracket. Tighten securely by hand.
• Fill the gap on the non-hinged side with the gasket/seal strip provided.
  The finished look for the door sliders should be similar to those shown in following pic., which shows 2 sliders in place.

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 the parts of the white spacers marked 'S' as shown by the dotted outline. Leave the rest of the spacer cover in place over the metal plates.

Important: After completing the installation, check that the appliance is secured within the unit and that the door(s) close and open properly. If there is no resistance from the door seals when opening the doors, then it is probable that the appliance and/or decor doors are not fitted properly.

Reversing the appliance doors

We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the doors whilst performing this operation.

Remove the right upper hinge cover and hinge by screw driver.

Remove the upper door.

Remove the middle hinge and its connecting pin underneath.

Remove the bottom door.

Remove the right bottom hinge and left plastic plugs, and refit them onto the opposite side.

Assembly the right upper hinge to the left bottom and fit the cover.

Reassemble the doors and hinges.
workings from bottom to top, from 1-4.

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 should remain in position.
