CE Conformity

9y 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 functionaliting 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 on5

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. 2ny 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.
• 7o 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.
- 9 bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartments as they could explode.
- 70 not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

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.

1.9utter, cheeses etc.
2. Food in jars and bottles
3.Drinks,e.g.milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yogurts, preserves etc.

Installation preparation

This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources3 e5g5 heating elements or cookers3 nor in damp places5

Seek the help of another individual3 or two3 when installing this appliance5 This appliance may have sharp edges5 Wear adequate PPE for the task and environment5

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. "or products intended to be installed into a tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be met:

An air intake should be provided somewhere in the cabinet run to allow free air in. In this example, a plinth vent is shown underneath the refrigerator.

A cutout should be made in the plinth below the fridge/freezer and this finished neatly using the air vent grille.

Alternatively, a thin section of the plinth can be removed to allow air into the unit (recommended 600mm× 10mm

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 rule3 the more air that can get in and out3 the better and more efficient the operation of the product5

Installation into a cabinet

With the help of another individual3 or two3 move the appliance into the cabinet5 There are two metal plates at the base of the appliance5 Fit the supplied white spacers to these plates5 Attach that the lips of the cabinet base5

Insert the appliance into the column, placing it on the opposite side of the hinges, and make sure there's a 3-5 mm distance gap.

1

After ensuring that the appliance door and column door are aligned, secure the appliance at the top to the cabinet with screws.

2

Then secure to the bottom of cabinet with screws.

3

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

4

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

5

Mounting the Deco 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 7eco door 20

to 22mm from the edge of the deco door as shown in following image, 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 image, which shows 2 sliders in place.

Ensure the appliance doors open3 close and seal properly5

Once complete and if you are happy with the fit of the appliance into 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: 2fter completing the installation, check that the appliance is well secured within the unit and that the door(s6 close and open properly. If there is no resistance from the door seals when opening the doors, then it is likely 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 operation5

Remove the upper plate and hinge with a screw driver.

1

Remove the upper door.

2

Remove the middle hinge and its connecting pin underneath.

3

Remove the bottom door.

4

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

5

Use the opposite hinge and cover and fit into the left bottom.

6

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

7

V

Attaching 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. 2 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.
