This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance.
Installation
•This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.
•It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.
•Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable available from Expert Appliance Care.
•Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
•Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.
•The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Child Safety
•Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.
•Keep all packaging well away from children.
General Safety
•Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.
•The appliance must not be located close to radiators or boilers.
•Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
•Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances.
During Use
•This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs.
•Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out.
•Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer.
•Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
•Ice lollies can cause ‘frost/freezer burns’ if consumed straight from the freezer.
•Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.
•The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves in this appliance contain channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this will cause substantial damage to the appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off the lining or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw, when defrosting the appliance. See Defrost Instructions.
Maintenance and Cleaning
•Switch off and unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Servicing
•This product should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used.

OPERATION
Before using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an «OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
The intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:
–room temperature
–how often the door is opened
–how much food is stored
–position of the appliance
Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crispers.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Normal Operating Sounds
•You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
•When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
•A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
