INSTALLATION
Positioning
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures between 10¡C (50¡F) and 38¡C (100¡F).
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct
sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not
next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g.
an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below
10¡C (50¡F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e.
colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate
correctly.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There
must also be at least 100 mm (4Ó) distance between
the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen
furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be
positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).
There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of
the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath.
The back of the cabinet may be placed close to the
wall but must not touch it. DO NOT install in places
with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet
using your fingers (see figure).

Warning
IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE
THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR,
YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE
UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN
BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.
Depending upon the position which you choose for
your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in
which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions
on ÒDoor reversal directionsÓ.
Rear spacers
In the bag with the documentation, there are two
spacers which must be fitted as shown in the figure.
Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the
screw head, then re-tighten the screws.
Important
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.

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.
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.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an
ÒOFFÓ (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:
Ð room temperature
Ð how often the door is opened
Ð how much food is stored
Ð 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.
