Page 10
Using your combi fridge freezer
Before switching on
o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
o After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the
appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant
gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation
process to settle.
o The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories
contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid
detergent and water.
o The interior of the appliance should be cleaned
with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in
lukewarm water. The interior and accessories
should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning
process has been completed.
o There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run
continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge
freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.
o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
connecting it to your mains supply.
10
Page 11
Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat in the
fridge section
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply
and setting the thermostat.
o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the refrigerator, depending on what number you have turned the
thermostat control knob to.
o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool. However
the light will still function.
o Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the fridge
freezer
o Position <7> will give you a lower temperature inside the fridge
freezer.
o Ideally the thermostat should be set to position <3> or <4>.
o Your refrigerator can maintain a temperature of between 4 – 6
degrees centigrade.
o The freezer section can cool down to -18 degrees centigrade and
lower.
o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the appliance and how often the door
is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
o On the maximum setting (position <7>), your fridge freezer will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature and will increase
the energy usage. There is no need to run your appliance on this
setting for prolonged periods and you should return the
thermostat knob to position <3> or <4>.

Arranging and storing food in the fridge section
A) Cooked food
B) Cooked meat
C) Fruit and
vegetables
D) Bottles /
cartons
E) Butter / cheese
/ yoghurt
F) Frozen foods
o Warm food or evaporating liquids should not be stored in your
refrigerator, as this will increase the humidity inside of the
appliance.
o All foods should be wrapped or covered, this is particularly
important if the food has a strong flavour. You should use
polythene bags or sheets, aluminium foil, wax paper. Liquids
should be stored in covered containers or bottles.
o To maximise the space inside of the fridge section, any excessive
packaging on the food should be removed.
o Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back of the
refrigerator, which is the coldest part of the appliance.
o No food items should be allowed to come into contact with the
back wall of the refrigerator.
o Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door can
close completely. Particular attention should be given to bottles
that may protrude when placed on shelves inside the main
section of the refrigerator.
12
Page 13
o Some organic solutions, such as the oils in lemon/orange peel
and acid in butter, can cause damage to the plastic parts
contained inside of the refrigerator.
o Do not open the refrigerator door too often or leave the door
open for long periods of time, as this will increase the
temperature inside of the appliance and will increase the energy
usage.
o Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed in
the meat drawer.
(Meat should only be stored in this manner for one or two
days at the most).
o Cold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be placed
on any shelf.
o Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed
in the salad drawer.
o Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or
they can be wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. They
should be stored in the general door racks. As much air as
possible should be removed from the bags.
o Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the
bottle shelf that sits in the door.
o Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be
stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight
containers.
The freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
o The freezer compartment temperature must have already
reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to
store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
o The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity
of food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than
3 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
o Preferably the top drawer should be used when freezing fresh
food. Once the food is frozen, you can then transfer the food to
the lower drawers.
13
Page 14
o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment,
then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
o The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in
regard to the maximum storage time.
o Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
Freezing fresh food
o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or
packaging. This will help to make sure that the food doesn’t dry
out or lose its flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not
transfer from other foods.
o The food should be placed in the freezer
drawers. Do not allow fresh food to
touch items that are already frozen.
o After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is
satisfactorily frozen.
Tips on freezing
o Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and
special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing
frozen goods in.
o Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are
suitable for sealing bags and wrappings.
o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should
compress the air out of it, as this will help
the food to freeze more easily.
o Flat packages freeze more easily.
o If you are freezing liquid, then do not fill the
container to the brim. Liquids will expand
when being frozen.
14
Page 15
o Do not place bottles (glass or tin) containing liquids
(especially sparkling liquids) into the freezer as they
could cause the bottle to burst during freezing.
o For a guide to the recommended freezer storage time for
different foods please refer to the chart below.
Making ice cubes
o Fill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the upper freezer
drawers.
o After the water is completely frozen and turned to ice, you can
twist the ice cube tray (as shown in the drawing below) to
dispense the ice.
Normal operating noises
Ice cracking noise
o Can be heard during the automatic defrosting process.
o Can be caused by expansion and contraction within the fridge
freezer.
Short cracking noise
o Can be heard when the thermostat turns the compressor on and
off.
15
Page 16
Compressor noise
o There will be an operating noise when the compressor is running.
o After installation, the compressor may be noisier for a short
period of time.
Bubbling and burbling sound
o This noise is emitted as the coolant flows through the pipework
within the fridge freezer.
Water flowing sound
o This is caused by water flowing into the evaporating tray during
the defrosting process and can be heard whilst the fridge is
defrosting.
Saving energy when using your fridge-freezer
There are some simple things you can do to save energy when
installing or using your fridge-freezer:
Installing:
o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct
sunlight or next to an oven or other heat source, the energy
consumption can increase substantially.
o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation
requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy
consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
o Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of
the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
o Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent
that leaves no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to
the efficiency of your appliance.
Usage:
o Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you
have to.
o Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree
can effect the energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to
check the temperature.
16
Page 17
o The freezer compartment should operate at around -18 degrees
Celsius. The refrigerator compartment should operate at around
3 to 4 degrees Celsius.
o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance
(but do not let it sit at room temperature for too long).
o In the freezer compartment, food packages should be scattered
and never grouped or stacked together until they are completely
frozen.
o If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the
appliance, empty and clean it and leave the door ajar.
o If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that
it is stored with the power off and the door left ajar until it is
actually required.
Disposing:
o If you're going to throw out your old fridge, see if there's a
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) recycler in your area. The
government department which looks after the environment in
your area may be able to help you.
Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR
APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto
it or spraying water over it.
o The refrigerator and freezer compartment should be
cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water.
Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
17
Page 18
o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have
cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
o You should periodically clean the air vents and condenser at the
rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or brush.
o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect
the plug to your mains supply.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during
operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray
and evaporates automatically.
o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be
cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug. This will prevent
water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of
flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole
to clean inside of it.
18
Page 19
o You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not
touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the
automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of
your refrigerator.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically.
You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that
builds.
IMPORTANT: The freezer compartment should be defrosted at least
twice a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it, will
depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you
freeze and store in the compartment.
o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed
from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper
and stored in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will
shorten its storage life and therefore the food should be used
within a relatively short period of time.
o DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW.
o Turn the freezer off and disconnect the appliance from your
mains supply.
o Leave the door to the freezer compartment open. You can place
a bowl of warm water inside the freezer compartment to speed
up the defrost process.
o It is recommended to line the floor in front of the freezer with
old towels to absorb the defrost water and prevent any damage
to the floor surface or surrounding furniture.
o Once all the ice that has built up has melted, then the inside of
the freezer compartment should be dried thoroughly. Failure to
do this will result in immediate ice build when the appliance is
turned back on.
o With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply.
Set the thermostat knob to position <7> for a 24 hour period,
before returning the appliance to the usual setting of <3> or
<4>.
o You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer
compartment until this 24 hour time period has elapsed.
19
Page 20
o Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices
(e.g. hair dryer). Do not use sharp metal objects to
remove the ice on the freezer, as this could cause damage
to the refrigerant system.
Replacing the light bulb
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR
APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT
BULB.
o Squeeze the tabs on the sides of the bulb cover to remove it.
o Remove the light bulb and replace with a bulb of the same type
and wattage.
o Replace the bulb cover and wait for 5 minutes before plugging
the appliance back into the mains.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage,
read all the instructions and make sure that the
voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on
the rating plate are exactly the same as the
voltage and frequency in your home. The rating
plate can be found on the front left edge of the

Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend whilst the product is
under guarantee and finds that the problem is not the result of an
appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out
charge.
The appliance must be accessible for the engineer to perform
any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a
way that an engineer is concerned that damage will be caused
to the appliance or your kitchen, then he will not complete a
repair.
This includes situations where appliances have been tiled in,
sealed in with sealant, have wooden obstructions placed in
front of the appliance, like plinths, or any installation other
than the one specified by the manufacturer has been
completed.
Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on the
warranty card that you receive with the appliance when it is delivered.
