IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EU DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as
urban waste. The refrigeration system contains insulating gases and
refrigerants, which require specialised waste disposal. The valuable
materials contained in this appliance can be recycle. It must be
taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection
centre or to a dealer providing this service.
Before disposing of an old appliance, remove the door seals, latch or
bolt lock to avoid the risk of child entrapment.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health. It also
enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both
energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of
household appliances separately, the product is marked with a
crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

Important
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive
acids or alkalis in the appliance.
This is a household appliance, which is produced in accordance
with the national standard. It is intended for food storage only, not for
storage of blood, medicine and biological products.
To prevent risk of fire, keep the appliance away from petrol or any
other inflammables.
To prevent risk of electromagnetic interference or other accidents,
do not place a microwave oven on top of the refrigerator or use any
electric appliance inside the refrigerator.
Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance.
The internal surfaces of the fridge compartment may be very cold
when the appliance is running. Avoid touching, if possible, the
surfaces especially when hands are wet.
Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places of
high humidity that may have adverse effect on the electric insulation
performance.
This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures
between 10 and 32˚C. Use outside of this range may cause the
appliance to fail.

Before first use
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours
prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior
to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water
and then thoroughly drying the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as
the appliance cools.
When first switching the appliance on it is advisable to set the fridge
to setting 3 on the thermostat dial and leaving the fridge to settle for
24 hours before adusting the temperature to the preferred setting.
Please note:
The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the
correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes
before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the
compressor.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive
acids or alkalis in the appliance.
This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity
cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates
and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates
harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a malfunction
of the fridge.

Use
Fridge
• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be
allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into the
refrigerator.
• Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this
will cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be
difficult to remove.
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before
putting into the fridge.
• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help
prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant
odours.
• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be
stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by
the door being open for prolonged periods.
• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between
the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep
the temperature low and save energy.
7
Storage and use
The fridge is for short term food storage. Although the temperature
can be maintained between 0-10˚C, extended periods of food
storage is not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary
between the different sections. As such, foods should be stored in
different sections according to type.
1. Butter and eggs
2. Food in jars and bottles
3. Drinks, e.g. milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yoghurts and cheese
6. Fresh meat and fish
7. Fruit and vegetables
The fridge shelves can be moved according to the storage
requirements within the fridge section. To move the shelf, lift up the
front section and then pull it outwards. To replace, slide the shelf
back into the slot, and lower the front section.
When storing root vegetables with leaves, such as carrots or turnips,
their leaves should be removed. This prevents the leaves from
absorbing nutrients from within the vegetables.

Controls
Thermostat dial
The controls for this fridge are simple and consist of a single
thermostat dial. To change the temperature, simply turn the dial left
and right to cycle through the available settings. A centrally located
embossed arrowhead indicates the setting. In the above figure, the
setting is ‘0’. The settings available range from 0 to 6 with 0 being the
‘Off’ setting and ‘6’ being the coldest.
After changing the temperature setting, the time taken to achieve
the new temperature will depend on how big the change is from the
previous setting.
Switching On and Off
When the fridge is connected to a power supply it will automatically
switch on unless the thermostat dial is set to ‘0’. To switch the
appliance on, turn the dial to a setting between 1 and 6. To switch
the appliance off, turn the dial to setting ‘0’. If you are turning the
appliance off for a long time, then switch off the mains power supply
also.

Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance
from the power supply before any
cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge should be cleaned using a
solution of bicarbonate of soda and
lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive
products or detergents. After washing,
rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the shelves and balconies
separately by hand with a mild solution
of washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and
the evaporating tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent the
defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The
cleaning rod can be used to clean the drain hole.
If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time,
unplug and clean the appliance. The door should be left slightly ajar
to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odours.

Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the
fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times using the cleaning
tool supplied.
The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back
of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation.
If you notice a heavy build up of ice, refer to the troubleshooting
section on ice on page 12.

Troubleshooting
If you have any problems with your appliance, you should check
the troubleshooting prior to calling CDA Customer Care to prevent
unnecessary service calls and potential cost.
If the appliance is not working, check the following:
• There is power to the appliance.
• The house fuses are intact and the fuse in the plug has not blown.
• The on/off switch is not set to off.
• The plug socket is functioning fine. To check this, plug another
electrical appliance in to see if the socket is faulty.
If the appliance is working, but not very well, check the following:
• The appliance is not overloaded.
• The thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature.
• The doors are closing properly.
• The cooling system at the rear of the appliance is clean and free of
dust, and not touching the rear wall.
• There is enough ventilation at the side and rear walls.
If the appliance is noisy, check the following:
• The appliance is level and stable.
• The side and rear walls are clear, and there is nothing resting on
the appliance.
• Note: The cooling gas in the refrigerator may make a slight bubbling
or gurgling noise, even when the compressor is not running.
12
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator compartment,
check the following:
• The drain hole in the channel at the back of the compartment is
clear.
• There are no items touching the rear wall of the appliance. If there
are, adjust their position so that they no longer touch it.
• Check that there is some resistance when opening the door of the
appliance. If it opens at the slightest touch it may mean that the
door seal needs to be replaced.
• Check the door seal for any kinks, debris or damage. If you notice
any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact CDA
Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced.
If ice has formed on the back wall of the fridge:
• It is normal for some ice droplets to form on the back wall of the
fridge. This does not constitute a fault with the appliance.
• Ensure that no items inside the fridge are in contact with the back
wall.
• Check that there is some resistance when opening the door of the
appliance. If it opens at the slightest touch it may mean that the
door seal needs to be replaced.
• Check the door seal for any kinks, debris or damage. If you notice
any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact CDA
Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced.
13
Installation and Ventilation

Ensuring the door seals correctly:
It is normal for the seal to be compressed after the door has been
reversed.
With the door closed, use a hair dryer to expand the seal and fill the
gap between the door and the body of the appliance.
Take care not to use the hair dryer too close to the appliance, which
could damage the seal. A distance of approximately 10cm should be
adequate.
When completed, allow the seal and door to cool before touching
them.
Once done, the seal will remain in position.

Changing the lamp bulb
Should the need to change or replace the bulb in your fridge arise,
then the steps to do so are simple. Ensure that the mains supply to
the appliance has been switched off and that the bulb is not hot
to the touch. We recommend the use of gloves during these steps.
With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw that holds the bulb cover
in place. To reach this screw it may be necessary to remove one or
more shelves. Place said shelves in a place where they will not cause
or receive damage. Take care not to lean any weight on the salad
crisper covers as this may damage them.
Once the bulb cover has been removed, unscrew the bulb and
remove it from the housing. Replace the defective bulb with a 15W
Small Edison Screw (SES) bulb. Ensure that you wear gloves when
handling the new bulb as this will help to preserve the lifespan of the
bulb.
Replace the lamp cover, cover screw and shelves. Wait for at least
5 minutes before turning the fridge back on to avoid damaging the
system.
