MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the appliance to avoid any shock.
• Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance's cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your appliance from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.

Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents are clear.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, as warm air will enter the cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly.
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits.
• Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as cooked meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads and fruits etc.
• Do not overload the appliance: the cooling air that circulates and keeps the appliance cold gets blocked, and pockets of warm air form.
• Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer – let it cool down first.

Freezer Storage Advice

• Store fresh food in airtight boxes or wrap in bags or foil which are suitable for freezing.
• Do not allow frozen food to come in to direct contact with food to be frozen.
• Pre-frozen food must be placed in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchasing.
  •To prevent frost damage to fresh vegetables or fruits they must be processed appropriately before being placed into the freezer compartment.

• You must always follow the storage guidelines printed on all food packaging. However, below is some suggested maximum storage times at -18^ (4 star freezer rating) for a variety of foods:

• Fresh meat & poultry –up to 12 months
  •Cooked meat –up to 2 months

• Fresh fish –up to 6 months
• Fruit & vegetables –up to 12 months
  • Bread & cakes –up to 6 months

Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking it's condition.

• Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
• Fruit and Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up.
• Bread and Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
• Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
  •Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.
  •Large Pieces of Meat: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly
• Small Joints: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly
• Chicken: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly

Maintenance & Cleaning

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

Internal Cleaning

• Do not pour water over the appliance.
  •The cavity should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water (5ml to 0.5 litre of water)
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
  •After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully.
• When you have finished cleaning reconnect the plug with dry hands.

External Cleaning

• Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
• There are sharp edges on the underside of the product so care should be taken when cleaning.
• Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause increased energy consumption.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the food and clean the inside. Leave the door open to prevent the build-up of odours.

Defrosting

Note: Care must be taken when performing the following procedure.

• The appliance is frost free, so there shouldn't be any requirement to defrost the freezer. However, in the unlikely event the appliance does need defrosting please follow the below steps:
• Try to use as much as possible of the food in the freezer, before defrosting. However, any food that is left, wrap in newspaper and place aside until ready to place back after cleaning.
• Switch the appliance off at the wall socket and remove the plug.
• Open the freezer door.
• Place a suitable container to collect the water created from the defrosted ice.
  • After defrosting, clean and dry the interior.
• Switch the appliance on and replace any frozen food.

Defrosting can be accelerated by putting bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the freezer and loosening the frost with a suitable plastic scraper.

Never use sharp metal tools as it may damage the appliance. Never use an electrical heater, this may cause an electric shock.

Trouble shooting

Problem Solution
The fridge/freezer does not work	Check that the appliance is switched on.
	Check that there has not been a power cut.
	Check that the plug is not faulty.
	Check that the fuse has not blown.
	Check that the voltage is correct for the appliance.
	Are there any faults with the socket? For this purpose, try the plug of your appliance by connecting it to a socket which you are sure is working.
The temperature inside the appliance is not cold enough	Check that there is not too much food in the appliance.
	Check that the temperature is set to a suitable temperature.
	Check that the appliance is not placed in direct sunlight, or too near to a heating source.
	Check that the ambient temperature is within the operation limits of the appliance.
	Are the doors of the appliance opened frequently? Once the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the room enters the appliance, especially if the humidity levels in the room are very high. The more frequently the door is opened in humid conditions the more chance of the build up of moisture.
The temperature within the appliance is too cold	Increase the working temperature by adjusting the temperature to a higher level.The lowest setting/temperature should only be used as a rapid cool setting and should only be set 2 hours before a large amount of food is placed in the fridge. If this is not done the temperature in the fridge compartment could fall below 0°C as the compressor will run continuously.
The inner surfaces of the appliance are wet	Caused by condensation-dry the inside of the appliance.
The outer surfaces of the appliance are wet	Caused by condensation-dry the outer of the appliance carefully.
Smell/odour	Check all the food and drink that is in the fridge is in date and correctly packaged. If it is not then it should be removed immediately or repackaged.Check for spillages on each shelf, rack and drawer. You may need to remove the drawers to check that no spillages have settled underneath them. As spillages that have not been cleaned and have been left can cause smells and unwanted odours.
	Check the drainage pipe is not clogged or the drip tray at the back of the appliance is full. The pipe can be cleared by pouring hot water through, but you must ensure the appliance is turned off, the plug is removed from the socket and a jug or bucket is in place to catch the flow of water.

Trouble shooting

Problem Solution
The doors do not close properly	Ensure there are no obstructions preventing door closure.
	Check the door compartments and shelves are correctly in place.
	Check the door seal is not warped or torn.
	Check the appliance is level.
Unusual noises	Check that the appliance is on a flat, level surface and is stable.
	Check the spacing"s around the appliance and ensure it is not touching other items.
	Bubbling and gurgling sound: This noise is emitted as the coolant fluid flows through the pipes within the system. This is normal.
	Water flowing sound: This is the normal sound of water flowing into the drain trough during the defrosting process.
	If the appliance is operating noisily(compressor noise): This is normal. This noise indicates that the compressor is operating normally. As the compressor is being energized, it might run a bit more noisily for a short period of time.
