Installation Instructions
1. The space in the room where the
appliance is installed must not be smaller than 10 cubic metres.
2. This appliance is designed to operate
at temperatures specified in the table below is equipped with Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System [AETCS] which ensures that at the advised setting [4 - four on the thermostat ] the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. However at low ambient temperatures mentioned above, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume food in the fridge accordingly. When the ambient
10
EN
temperature returns to normal, you may change the setting to suit your needs. If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze.So, we recommend you don’t use the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer compartment as usual.
3. Do not place the appliance near
cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause your appliance to work harder. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances:
From Cookers 50 mm (2”) From Radiators 300 mm (12”) From Freezers 25 mm (1”)
4. Make sure that sufficient room is
provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. Fit the two plastic wall spacers supplied with the appliance to the condenser on the back of the appliance by rotating 1/4 turn. (See Diagram).
5. The fridge/freezer should be located
on a smooth surface. The two front feet can be adjusted as required. To ensure that your appliance is standing upright adjust the two front feet by turning clockwise or anti-clockwise, until the product is in firm contact with the floor. Correct adjustment of feet avoids excessive vibration and noise.
6. Refer to cleaning and care section to
prepare your appliance for use.
7. A special receptacle is supplied to
store the mains plug during transit. The receptacle is fixed at the back of the cabinet, on the side of the compressor. (See diagram) Gently remove the plug from the receptacle. Never pull the mains cord, you may damage the appliance. In the case of transportation, ensure you locate the plug in the receptacle provided to avoid transit damage.

4 Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/ freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for
perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate
freely at the rear of the cabinet.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
• When the door is open the fridge
interior light will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal.“Due to operation of the fan inside the frost free freezer compartment, overall noise level is slightly higher in comparison to non-frost free appliances. This is quite normal and is not a fault.”
6. Set the thermostat half way between
1 and 5.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
8. “Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment)”

5 Using your refrigerator
Temperature Control And Adjustment
We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat (see diagram) located on the ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be made from 1 to 5, 5 being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend you set the thermostat half way between the 1 and 5 setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards 5 you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal.
The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower
temperatures may be obtained by adjusting the thermostat towards 5 position.
is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed.
In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment, reduce the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C [41 degrees F]. Once the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required.

results and storage hygiene.
10
1
2 3
4
6
5 5
Arrangement Examples (See diagram)
1. Baked, chilled cooked food, dairy
products, cans.
2. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
3. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
4. Making, storing ice cubes.
5. Frozen food.
6. Frozen food and freezing of fresh
food.
7. Butter, cheese.
8. Small bottles, cans, tubes.
9. Eggs
10. Water dispenser
1. The fridge compartment is for the
short term storage of fresh food and drinks.
8
2. The freezer compartment is
rated and suitable for the freezing and storage of pre frozen food. The recommendation for storage as stated on the food packaging should be observed at all times.
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in
airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be
placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door
section.
6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene
bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
7. Keep the food packed wrapped
or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive substances. High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned food should not be stored in the can.
8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and
products such as flavoured water ices should not be consumed too cold.
18
EN
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer
damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C. Therefore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags.
10. Place chilled cooked food and similar
food near the rear of the fridge inner liner where the cold wall is located.
11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins,
drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all removable.
12. Do not leave frozen food at room
temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food.
13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap
food using a suitable packaging material before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.
If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
Freezing Fresh Food
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
Storing Frozen Food
Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a frozen food storage
compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labelled and
dated.
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging.
19
When freezing fresh food turn the setting towards. Max small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control.
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Making Ice Cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
EN
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.
Defrosting
A) Fridge Compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance (1).(see diagram) During defrosting water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment
where concealed evaporator is located.Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting.
B) Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment
circulates cold air. Never insert
any object through the guard. Do not
allow children to play with
the freezer fan. Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant gas
(eg dispensers, spray cans etc.) or

Water Dispenser
*optional
The water dispenser is a very useful feature allowing cold water on tap without opening the door of your refrigerator .As you will not have to open your refrigerator door frequently, you will have saved energy.
As the level of the water in your glass/ container rises, slightly lessen the pressure on the arm to prevent the overspill. If you slightly press the arm, the water will drip; this is quite normal and not a failure.
Filling the water dispenser's tank
Open the cover of the water tank as shown in the figure. Fill in the pure and clean drinking water. Close the cover.
To avoid flowing of water by mistake, we recommend you to lock the water dispenser .
Using the water dispenser
Push the arm of the water dispenser with your glass. The dispenser will cease operating once you release the arm.
When operating the water dispenser, maximum flow can be obtained by pressing the arm fully. Please remember that the amount of flow from the dispenser is subject to the degree you press the arm.
