USING THE APPLIANCE
This appliance is designed for
domestic use only, specifically for the
storage of edible foodstuffs.
This appliance is designed to operate in
ambient temperatures (surrounding air
temperature) between 10°C (50°F) and 32°C
(90°F). If these temperatures are exceeded
i.e., colder or warmer, the appliance will not
operate correctly. Should the ambient
temperatures be exceeded for long periods,
the temperature in the freezer section will rise
above -18°C and food spoilage may occur.
Before Use (Remove all securing tapes).
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm
water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml
to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or
detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the
appliance thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products, wax polishes or products
containing alcohol.
To Start the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours
after installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the
mains supply.
3. Turn the thermostat control to the required
setting. A midway setting is usually suitable
for normal operation (see thermostat control).
4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours
for the correct temperature to be reached
before placing food inside.
Thermostat Control
The thermostat control is situated under the flap
at the front of the top panel. The thermostat
control is marked from min to max.
Min (Cold) Max (Coldest)
The temperature will be affected by:
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control
setting, all these factors have to be considered
and some experimentation may be necessary
Do not allow children to tamper with the
controls or play with the product.
.
Green Indicator Light
Indicator Light
The green indicator light is situated in the control
panel under the flap.
When the appliance is switched on at the mains
the green indicator light will glow and continue to
glow until the appliance is switched off at the
6
mains.
Larder Compartment
The correct temperature for safe storage of fresh food inside is 0°C to 5°C (32°F to 41°F). The warmest
part of the fridge compartment is at the top of the cabinet and the coolest at the bottom.

Adjustable shelves
Store light items such as small cartons and jars
on the shelves provided in the door. The bottle
shelf can be used for the storage of heavier
bottles.
N.B. The bottleshelf is not adjustable/removable.
The bottle grippers must be fitted to the bottom
bottle shelf to ensure bottles are retained
securely. Fit the bottle grippers as shown.
The larder compartment is fitted with shelving
which are adjusted for the storage of different
sized articles.
If the door cannot be opened further than 90°
remove the shelves by tilting the shelf downwards
and pulling outwards.

The Freezer Compartment
The symbol means that your freezer will
store frozen food at -18
allowing for long term frozen food storage and
freezing of fresh food. The freezer temperature is
controlled automatically by the thermostat
situated in the control panel.
°C (-0.4°F) or colder
Freezing Fresh Foods
The maximum quantity of food you can freeze in
24 hours is 9kg. Place the fresh food on the top
freezer shelf. Food may need rearranging to
achieve this.
Frozen food should not be refrozen
once it has thawed out.
Due to the different installations, methods of
usage and weather conditions, adjustments to the
temperature settings may be required.
These are best assessed against a
temperature reading on a thermometer
buried in the frozen food. The reading
must be taken quickly as the thermometer
temperature will rise rapidly after removal.
Frozen Food Storage
The appliance has the following net storage
volume:
129 litres (4.6 cuft)
41.7 kg (92 lb)
† This is a standard measurement and the
actual capacity depends upon the density
and sizes of the food. The above figures are
based on an average density of 0.32kg per
litre (20 lb per cuft).
Pre packed commercially frozen food should be
stored in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment
and should be put in the freezer as soon as
possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for
long term storage which generally means up to 3
months but the length of the time can vary and it
is important to follow the recommended times
shown on packets of commercially frozen food.
†
Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or 'frost/freezer
burns'.
Hints and Tips
Any opened packets of frozen food,
should be rewrapped in airtight materials
to prevent surface evaporation which
cause s drying or 'freezer burn'.
Frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be used
immediately or thrown away. Alternatively
if the food is uncooked and has not been
completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Aim to check dates on packets and rotate
food regularly. Although storage longer
than recommended is not harmful, flavours
and textures begin to change.
Do not place sealed containers or
carbonated liquids such as fizzy drinks
into the freezer as it creates pressure
on the container which may cause it to
explode resulting to damage to the
freezer.
Ice cubes and ice lollies should not be
consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer as it may result in low
temperature skin abrasions.
Manufacturers storage times should be
adhered to.
