IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE

2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. The refrigeration system contains insulating

gases and refrigerants, which require specialised waste disposal. The valuable materials contained in this appliance can be recycle.

It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service.

Before disposing of an old appliance, remove the latch or bolt lock to avoid the risk of child entrapment.

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving

from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and

resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out

wheeled dustbin.

• This is a household appliance, which is produced in accordance with the national standard. It is intended for food storage only,

not for storage of blood, medicine and biological products.

• To prevent risk of fire, keep the appliance away from petrol or any other inflammables.

• To prevent risk of electromagnetic interference or other accidents, do not place a microwave oven on top of the refrigerator

or use any electric appliance inside the refrigerator.

• Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance.

• The internal surface of freezer compartment is very cold when the appliance is running. Do not touch the surface especially

when hands are wet.

• Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places of high humidity that may have adverse effect on the

electric insulation performance.

• This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures between 16 and 38˚C. Use outside of this range may cause the

appliance to fail.

In the event of a power failure, leave the door closed as much as possible to maintain the internal working temperature.

Should the power failure continue for a prolonged period, you should take steps to protect the contents of the appliance

against a rise in temperature. The appliance will remember the selected temperature settings and revert to these settings

once the power is restored.

IMPORTANT: Remove the lid from the top of the ice dispenser inside the freezer door prior to first switching on the freezer.

On first use, the icemaker will begin working once the freezer has reached the required temperature. This can take up to 6 hours.

If ice will not be required, touch the ice off key on the control panel to switch off the ice maker.

On first connection, select the water option using the dispenser selection key on the control panel. Place a jug or other suitable

container under the dispenser nozzle and push the switch for two to three minutes, or until water starts to dispense.

The pipes must be cleaned through on first use to remove any impurities in the system after installation. To do so, place a jug or

other suitable container under the dispenser nozzle and push the switch to start the dispenser. Dispense water for approximately

three minutes and ice for approximately one minute, and then dispose of the water and ice dispensed.

Before first use

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours

prior to switching the power on.

It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first

use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm

water and then thoroughly drying the interior.

The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the

appliance cools.

Do not load the appliance with food until it reaches the required

temperature

Please note:

The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct

temperature.

If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before

switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the

compressor.

The fridge and freezer shelves can be moved according to storage

requirements.

To move the shelf, pull the shelf outwards until the shelf stops

(approximately one third out) then lift up the front section slightly and pull

the shelf out. To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and then lower the

front section before pushing fully back into position.

Use

Fridge

• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.

• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into

the refrigerator.

• Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation problems which

will be difficult to remove.

• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.

• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid

unpleasant odours.

• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration

caused by the door being open for prolonged periods.

• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.

• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.

Freezer

• The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.

• Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.

• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not be

stored for more than three months after the purchase date.

• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the food

after thawing.

• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.

• Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and dates of storage and expiry.

• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is required

to prevent wastage.

• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartments as they could explode.

• Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period.

• Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

• To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch on the quick freeze function a few hours prior to placing the food in the freezer.

• Do not use the quick freeze function for more than 48 hours. Use over the recommended time will place unnecessary strain

on the refrigeration system..
