INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller
than 10 cubic metres.
2. See for detailed Installation Instructions including reversing door opening
direction.
3.This appliance has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures up
to 32 degrees C (90 degrees F) and is equipped with Advanced Electronic
Temperature Control System [AETCS] which ensures that at the advised setting
[4 - four on the knob] the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the
ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. When first installed the product
MUST NOT be placed in low ambient temperatures because the freezer will
not reduce to it’s standard operating temperature. Once it has reached its
steady operating state it can be re-located. So you may then install your
appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry about
frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. However at low ambient temperatures
mentioned above, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume
food in the fridge accordingly . When the ambient temperature returns to normal,
you may change the knob setting to suit your needs.
If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment
will freeze. So, we recommend you don’t use the fridge compartment in such
low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer compartment as
usual.
4. Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as
this will cause your appliance to work harder. If installed next to a source of
heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances:
From Cookers 50 mm (2")
From Radiators 300 mm (12")
From Freezers 25 mm (1")
5. Refer to cleaning and care section to prepare your appliance for use.
A special receptacle is supplied to store the
6.
mains plug during transit.
The receptacle is fixed at the back of the
cabinet, on the side of the compressor.
(See diagram) Gently remove the plug from
the receptacle. Never pull the mains cord, you
may damage the appliance. In the case of
transportation,ensure you locate the plug in
the receptacle provided to avoid transit
damage.

SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
Arrangement Examples (See diagram)
1. Baked, chilled cooked food,
dairy products, cans.
2. Wine,
3. Meat, sausages, cold cuts.
4. Fruit, vegetables, salads.
5. Frozen food and
freezing of fresh food.
6. Frozen food.
7. Butter, cheese.
8. Small bottles, cans, tubes.
9. Eggs.
10. Tall, large bottles, beverages.
The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the
best results and storage hygiene.
1. The fridge compartment is for the short term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is
storage of pre frozen food. The recommendation for storage as
stated on the food packaging should be observed at all times.
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables
should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins.
5. Bottles can be placed in the door section.
6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf.
Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination. For
safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
7. Keep the food packed wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages
to cool before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive substances.
High proof alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned
food should not be stored in the can.
8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water
ices should not be consumed too cold.
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C.
The refore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce
in polythene bags.
10. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge inner
liner where the cold wall is located.
1 1. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all removable.
12. Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid
defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food.
13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material
before storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting knob (see diagram) located
on the ceiling of fridge compartment. Settings may be made from min, 1 ... 6,
max, max being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the setting knob should be
adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher
than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend you set the knob half way between the min
and max setting and monitor to obtain the desired temperature i. e. towards
max you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections
of the fridge may be cooler or warmer ( such as the salad crisper and the top
part of the cabinet ) which is quite normal.
The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower
temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards max position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer
to
ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed
immediately after food is put in or removed.
In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment, reduce the
thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the fridge temperature
is maximum +5 degrees C [41 degrees F]. Once the ice build up disappears
and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase
the thermostat setting, if required.
If the ambient (room or garage) temperature is between 0 °C and -15 °C, we
recommend you adjust the knob to setting 4 to reach -18 C in the freezer
compartment. Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob
towards max position.
