THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

For replacement, use a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Service Force Centre.

Installation

This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the fridge-freezer only as instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the fridge-freezer

follow these important first steps.

LOCATION

• Choose a place that is near an earthed 13A socket. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

• If possible, place the fridge-freezer out of direct sunlight and away from the cooker, dishwasher or other heat sources.

• The fridge-freezer must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded fridge-freezer.

• Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker.

INSTALLATION

Do Not install the fridge-freezer

where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the fridge-freezer.

Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your fridge-freezer. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your fridge-freezer.

Installation Clearances

• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top --------------- 3/8” (1 cm) Back ------------------------ 1” (2.5 cm)

DOOR OPENING

NOTE: If your fridge-freezer is placed with the door hinge

side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Your fridge-freezer should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of drawers and freezer baskets, the fridge-freezer should be in a position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be fully opened.

TOE GRILLE INSTALLATION / REMOVAL

To Remove Toe Grille:

1. Open freezer and fresh food compartment doors.

2. Working from left side of toe grille, slip your fingers between top of toe grille and cabinet. Gently pull forward until first set of tabs are free. Slide your hand down past the free tabs and pull forward again until the second set of tabs are free. Continue this process until all tabs are free and the toe grille can be removed. (See graphic at top of page in right column.)

To Install Toe Grille:

1. Open freezer and fresh food compartment doors.

2. Line up toe grille at base of fridge-freezer, making sure the four bottom tabs are resting through holes at base of cabinet.

3. Starting from left side of toe grille, press in on first top tab using your thumb and push toe grille forward until it snaps in place. Continue this process until all tabs are snapped in place and toe grille is secured to fridge-freezer.

LEVELING

All four corners of your fridge-freezer must rest firmly on a solid floor. Your fridge-freezer is equipped with adjustable front rollers to help level your unit. To ensure proper door seal and assist door closing, the fridge-freezer should be tilted 1/4” (6 mm), front to back.

To Level Your Fridge-Freezer:

1. Remove toe grille. (See

2. Use flat-blade screwdriver or 3/8” socket wrench to adjust front rollers.

NOTE: The fridge-freezer doors are designed to shut by themselves within a 20 degree opening.

3. Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet on all four sides.

“To Remove Toe Grille”

Installation

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the fridge-

freezer from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the fridge-freezer.

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic is not recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the fridge-freezer to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the fridge-freezer can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

- Connecting Ice Maker To Water Supply

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect fridge-freezer from electric power source.

2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shut off valve.

3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line, as shown.

5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.

6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of fridge-freezer as shown.

7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2½ turns) behind fridge-freezer as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.

9. Reconnect fridge-freezer to electrical power source.

10. Make sure ice maker power switch is turned On (See page 14 for location of power switch).

IMPORTANT: It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing lines may cause ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored or have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

Door Removal Instructions

DOOR REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:

If it is necessary to move the fridge-freezer through narrow doorways, follow these steps to remove the doors.

Temperature Controls

COOL DOWN PERIOD

To ensure safe food storage, allow the fridge-freezer to operate with the doors closed for at least 6 hours before loading it with food.

REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS

NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments.

After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Make your adjustments small and gradual; allowing time for temperatures to change and stabilize. Refer to the adjacent guidelines for temperature settings.

The range of possible settings is 1 through 9, with 9 being the coldest.

Both the Freezer and Fresh Food compartments are preset at the factory to 5, the midpoint temperature setting.

To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Warmer or Colder button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display shows the last setting you entered. Each press of the button after that increments the setting by one.

The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes back to the current temperature.

IF THE TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS FLASH...

If ever you see both temperature displays continously flashing, it may indicate that the control system has detetcted a performance problem. Call your local Service Force Centre who can interpret the flashing message.
