line with current legislation. If there is any doubt contact your Local
Authority for instructions.
-This appliance may contain the refrigerant isobutene (R600a). This is a
natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility; however,
caution is required as isobutene is a flammable gas. It is essential to
ensure that refrigerant tubes are not damaged during transportation
and the installation of the appliance. In the event that the refrigerant
circuit is damaged, avoid naked flames or sources of ignition and
ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.

The temperature selector knob is located on the r/hand panel of the inner
cabinet (see Description of the Appliance on page 3).
-Setting “0”: Unit Off
-Setting “1”: Unit On – Warmest Temperature
-Setting “3” to ”4”: Normal Operation (adequate for most situations)
-Setting “7”: Coldest Temperature
Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to
set the thermostat to the coldest setting (position 7). This may cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the
cabinet.
N.B. If you site this appliance in a garage, out-building or a cold room where the
ambient temperature may fall below 6 to 8 degrees C, condensation may form on
the outer cabinet and ‘pool’ under the appliance. This is quite

to the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of
When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight
whirring sound or pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of
the compressor, and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.
3.5. Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance 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
vents are clear.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for a long time, warm air will enter the
cabinet and may cause a build up of ice as well as affecting the energy
consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from
closing properly.
Ensure that the door seal is clean and there are no tears or splits.
Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as cooked
meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest
part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads and fruits etc.
(see Description of Appliance on Page 3).
Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the fridge
cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer – let it cool down first.
3.6. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the door closed. When the power has been
restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to
achieve the pre-set operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored
food items and liquids.

Section 4. Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT
the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the interior and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml 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.
4.2. External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
There may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be
taken when cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance 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
increased energy consumption.
4.3. Defrosting
The fridge compartment will automatically defrost itself. The rear inner wall of the
fridge compartment will at times appear wet, but this is part of the defrost process
and is quite normal. However, you will need to defrost the freezer periodically. When
ice build-up in the freezer exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and switch off the
appliance, leave the door open and allow the ice to melt. Place the frozen foods
items in a cool-bag or wrap them in thick newspaper. Do not use sharp objects to
scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the door and turn on the
power to the appliance. When the power has been restored the appliance will start
to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature.
4.4. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents, disconnect
from the electricity supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you
wish to use the appliance again.
