Should the appliance power supply cable need to be
replaced, this must be carried out by a Service
Force agent (see page 16).
The manufacturer declines any liability should this
safety measure not be observed.
Before switching on,make sure the electricity supply voltage
is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s rating plate.
(See picture on page 5).
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug supplied. In the
event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a
13amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed
as described below.The wires in the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral

markings identifying the terminals in your plug.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E"
orthe earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.
2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured
black.
3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured
red.
4. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands
of wire present and the cord clamp must besecure over
the outer sheath.

13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock)
hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is
disposed of safely.
The plug must still be accessible after the
appliance has been installed.
The appliance should not be connected to
the electrical supply by means of an
extension cable.
Permanent connection
In the case of permanent connection it is necessary that
you install a double pole switch between the appliance
and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of
3mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable
for the required load in compliance with the current

Hints & Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the
refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing.
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.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your appliance:
To obtain the best results from your appliance
neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate,
should be placed in the larder compartment. Allow
to cool first before placing in the appliance.
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
Do not push food together too closely, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of
heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
cabinet are not obstructed.
Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning
products containing
bleach or alcohol.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular intervals
and ensure that the drain hole is clear at all times. If blocked
carefully clear using a piece of flexible curtain wire inserted
into the drain outlet to remove the blockage.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure
they are clean and free from debris.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do NOT use abrasive products.
There are sharp edges on the underside of the
product so care should be taken when
cleaning.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will
affect the performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
Changing the Light Bulb
Should the light fail to work you can change it as below:
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Remove the lamp cover retaining screws, then take the
lamp cover off in the direction of the arrow and the bulb
can be changed. (Type of the bulb: 230 V, 15 W, E 14
thread)
After changing the bulb replace the lamp cover, and
retaining screws and reconnect the appliance to the
electricity supply.
Defrosting Your Appliance
The fridge compartment is defrosted automatically, when
the motor stops. Defrost water from the cooling plate
runs out of the drain and onto a tray on the motor
compressor where it evaporates. Droplets of water on
the cooling plate during defrosting are quite normal and
will freeze on the plate afterwards.
When the appliance is not in
use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the
food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to
prevent unpleasant smells.
Before any maintenance of cleaning work is carried
out DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
15
