Section 1. Installation

- IMPORTANT! This appliance must be left to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before being switched on for the first time.

- This appliance has been designed for Domestic Use Only.

- Remove all packaging and securing tape from the appliance.

- Wash the interior of the appliance with luke warm water containing a small amount of bicarbonate soda (5ml to 0.5 litres of water).

- Position the appliance in a dry atmosphere and out of direct sunlight.

- Do not position next to a cooker or other sources of heat, i.e. radiator.

- This appliance should not be sited in a cold atmosphere, i.e.garage or shed. Doing so may cause the freezer unit to underfreeze.

- If positioned next to another fridge or freezer, leave a minimum gap of 2cm between the appliances in order to avoid condensation.

- A clearance of 50mm should be left above the appliance. If this cannot be achieved you should ensure a clearance of 25mm is maintained on each side of the appliance.

- Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser on the rear of the appliance, this will ensure an air gap between the appliance and the wall.

- Do not place or store heavy items on the top of this appliance.

- Ensure that the appliance is positioned on a firm flat floor.

- This appliance must be level. Adjust the level by screwing the adjustable feet up or down (use your fingers or a suitable spanner).

- Ensure that the appliance is upright and both feet are in firm contact with the floor so that the cabinet is stable.

- Connect the plug to an adjacent 13amp socket out let and ensure that the appliance is not standing on the supply cable.

Section 2. Safety Advice

- Please read this booklet thoroughly before installing and switching on the appliance. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for incorrect installation and usage.

- If this appliance is to replace an old refrigerator with a lock, as a safety measure break or remove the lock and/or door before disposal.

- Your old appliances contain insulation gases and refrigerant that must be disposed of correctly. Please ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged before the appliance is taken away for correct disposal in line with current legislation. If there is any doubt contact your Local Authority for instructions.

- This appliance may contain the refrigerant isobutene (R600a/R134a). This is a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility; however, caution is required as isobutene is a flammable gas. It is essential to ensure that refrigerant tubes are not damaged during transportation and the installation of the appliance. In the event that the refrigerant circuit is damaged, avoid naked flames or sources of ignition and ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.

- If using an adaptor, this must be used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and ensure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded as this could cause overheating.

- Do not twist or bend the cables, and keep them away from hot surfaces.

- Do not plug in or unplug this appliance with wet hands.

- Following installation make sure that the power cable is not trapped underneath the appliance.

- Ensure the appliance is left in an upright position for at least 4 hours before you switch it on.

- The appliance has to be unplugged after use and before carrying out user maintenance on the appliance.

Section 3. Operating the Appliance

3.1. Switching on the Appliance

• Allow the appliance to stand upright for a minimum of 4 hours before you switch it on.
• Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
• Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the Temperature Control section (3.2.).
• Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached.

3.2. Temperature Control

The temperature selector knob is located on the lamp unit inside the refrigerator (see Description of the Appliance on page 2).

• Setting "0": Unit Off
• Setting "MIN": Unit On-Warmest Temperature
• Setting "NORMAL": Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
• Setting "MAX": Coldest Temperature

Important!

During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the coldest setting. This may cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.

3.3. Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.

3.4. 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, warm air will enter the cabinet and may cause a buildup 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 shortshelf-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. (see Description of Appliance on Page 2)
• Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
  Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer let it cool down first.

3.5. In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure, keep the doors closed. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored food items and liquids.

Section 4. Maintenance

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

4.1. Internal Cleaning

Clean the interior and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.

4.2. External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There may be 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.

4.3. Defrosting

The fridge compartment will automatically defrost itself. However, you will need to defrost the freezer periodically. When ice build up in the freezer exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and switch off the appliance, leave the door open and allow the ice to melt. Place the frozen foods items in a cool-bag or wrap them in thick newspaper. Do not use sharp objects to scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the door and turn on the power to the appliance. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature.

4.4. When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents, disconnect from the electricity supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you wish to use the appliance again.

4.5. What to do if something goes wrong

There is no power to the appliance:

• Check there is not a power cut
• Check there is power to the electric socket/appliance
• Check the fuse in the plug (Must be 13 amp)
• Check that the thermostat has been set to position MIN or above (see section 3.2.)

The compressor runs continuously:

• Are the doors closed correctly?
• Have large quantities of food recently been added to the appliance? - if yes, allow the interior temperature to recover
• Have the appliance doors been opened frequently? - if yes, allow the interior temperature to recover
• Check that the Thermostat Control has not been set to maximum

There is excessive frost/ice build up:

• Ensure that the doors have been closed correctly
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and sealing correctly
• Check that the Thermostat Control has not been set to maximum

The appliance is making a noise:

• Refer to Normal Operating Sounds, section 3.4
- Ensure that the appliance has been installed correctly (see section 1).

If after the above checks there is still a fault please contact youretailer.
