Installation Notes

Fit the 2 spacer pegs as shown in the diagram. These will prevent the product from being pushed too close to the wall and damaging the cooling system.

It is important that upon receipt you stand your appliance upright for at least 4 hours before switching on to allow the system to settle. Please note that the door cannot be reversed on this product.

1. The appliance should not be tilted more than 45 degrees when you move it. Do not use force on any part such as the condenser, the door or handle. They could distort and affect the operation of the refrigerator. Ensure all packaging is removed before installation

1. Make sure there is enough ventilation space around the sides and top of the refrigerator.

Installation Notes

1. The appliance should not be installed near external heat sources eg direct sunlight, radiators or external moisture sources.

2. External heat sources like radiators or environments more than 32 degrees Centigrade can cause the compressor to over-run and the ice compartment to freeze up. EG. Siting the fridge in a conservatory is not a good idea.

3. Exposure to sunlight for long periods can cause the coloured components to fade.

Damage resulting from ignoring the above guidance is not covered under your warranty.

1. Ensure the supply voltage of socket is same as rating label.
2. The plug must be properly inserted to the wall socket.
3. The mains supply socket must be earthed - preferably with a switch. If it is not earthed, do NOT install this appliance there. Do not use an extension cord
4. The product is equipped with adjustable feet. Once the product is in place, adjust these to ensure the fridge is level and doesn't rock.

ONLY SITE THE PRODUCT WHERE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BETWEEN 10 AND 32 DEGREES CENTIGRADE

First Time Use

1. It is important that upon receipt you stand your appliance upright for at least 4 hours before switching on to allow the system to settle. Not doing this could render the refrigeration system beyond economical repair!
2. When using the refrigerator for the first time, set the thermostat inside the refrigerator to 5 without any food inside. When the refrigerator starts, you will hear the quiet hum of the compressor. You may also hear the circulation of liquids and gases in the refrigeration system. This is normal on first start up, Generally it will take 2-3 hours for the appliance to reach temperature. Once temperature has been reached then put the food inside.
3. The temperature of the refrigerator can be adjusted by rotating the disc of the thermostat. The higher the value on the setting of the thermostat, the maximum value of refrigeration (coldest being 7). Typically a medium setting of 4-5 is best for most circumstances.
4. Do not put too much food in the refrigerator. Avoid opening the doors too frequently as this will waste energy and can cause excessive frost build-up.

Food Storage Tips

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Dairy and multipurpose Guard

- Store fatty foods, like butter and cheese. Store small, packed foods, like milk, yogurt and beverages.

Refrigerator compartment: 1°C to 5°C

This is the area where the food should be stored to be kept cold/chilled:

• Note: raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped
• precooked chilled foods
• precooked meats
• prepared salads, desserts, homemade products, and leftovers

Vegetable Drawer/Crisper

• This the part of the refrigerator has higher humidity.
  • Vegetables, fruit, fresh salads should be stored in this compartment.

Wire Wine Rack

For storing bottled liquids. Always ensure lids are air tight and sealed properly.

Notes:

• Always place raw meat, fish and poultry on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator.
- Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing flavour and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent cross-flavouring.

PLEASE DO NOT OVERLOAD ANY OF THE RACKS, DRAWERS OR TRAYS. IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CABINET OR DOOR AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Seal food in containers with lids, in plastic wrap or in plastic bags to prevent drying and the mingling of odours.

Wrapping food

• Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household.
• Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 1 kg, while meat portions can be up to 2.5 kg.
• Smaller portions freeze through more quickly and the quality is retained better when defrosting and preparing the food.
• It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing flavour or dehydrating.
• Wrap the food, press out any air and seal it airtight.

Suitable wrapping materials:

Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers. These items are available from any dealer.

Unsuitable wrapping materials:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.

Suitable sealing materials:

• Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar.
• Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.

Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents and date of freezing.

Cleaning & Maintenance

DAILY CLEANING

The outside of your refrigerator can be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry with kitchen towel.

Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners on any part of your refrigerator as these could permanently damage or discolour the surfaces.

INTERNAL CLEANING

Wipe up any internal spills immediately with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Dry thoroughly.

SHELVES AND GUARDS

The Dairy guards, and shelves can be removed and cleaned separately. However, we don't recommend cleaning the transparent plastic parts in a dishwasher because the high temperatures can dull the plastic over time.

DRAIN HOLE AND CLEANING TOOL

There is a small drain hole at the back of the refrigerator cabinet. There is also a small cleaning tool in the hole. Use the tool to clear the drain hole when necessary. Do not allow foodstuff to clog this hole

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

From time to time, it may be necessary to perform more extensive cleaning to keep your refrigerator in top condition and to maintain energy efficiency.

Before performing any of these maintenance steps, switch off your refrigerator and remove the plug from the mains socket. Allow the freezer section to defrost thoroughly.

EVAPORATOR TRAY

If you notice an odour from the back of the fridge, it is a sign that the evaporator tray needs to be cleaned. The evaporator tray is a small plastic tray that sits on top of the compressor. Grip the tray firmly and pull it sharply toward you.

Take care when moving the refrigerator not to damage the cooling matrix or tilt the appliance more than 45 degrees. Replace the tray, ensuring the clips lock into place. Warmth from the compressor is usually enough to evaporate any water in the tray. Excessive water is a sign of an overly humid environment.

DOOR SEALS

Ensure that the door seals are kept free from debris at all times. If they don't seal properly this can waste energy and cause excessive ice build-up.

The seals should last for many years. However, if they need to be changed, the removal and fitting is very easy - as shown above. Visit our website to buy replacement seals.

Troubleshooting

1. If the refrigerator does not run:

Check the supply voltage is available at the socket and check that the power plug is correctly connected.

2. If the refrigerator does not become cold enough:

a. Is the thermostat set too low? (setting 1 is warmest setting 7 is coldest)
b. Is there enough space around the refrigerator?
c. Is the door opened too frequently or not closed properly? (check seals).
d. Is there direct sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?
e. Is there too much food inside the compartment?
f. Is there dust and debris built up on cooling matrix or compressor?

3. Food is freezing or too cold in refrigerator compartment:

a. There is too little food in the refrigerator
b. Thermostat is set too high

4. If the refrigerator operates noisily:

a. Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor. Adjust the feet if necessary. The refrigerator is too near the wall (use the spacer pegs provided).
b. The food stored in the refrigerator is not touching - particularly applies to bottles. The refrigerator creates very slight vibrations, which can be amplified greatly with touching bottles!

Note:

During high relative humidity environment, condensation may occur on the surface of the refrigerator. This is not a malfunction. Simply clean the surface of condensation.

If the refrigerator is not working properly after all these checks, contact the service help line without further delay.

Service and Spares
