Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Switching on the Appliance
- Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation.
- Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
- Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the
Temperature Control section (3.2.).
- Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached.
3.2. Temperature Control
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 indicate that there is a fault with the appliance.
To prevent condensation building up on the outer cabinet ensure that the ambient temperature is above 8 degrees C.
3.3. Storing & Freezing Food in the Freezer
This appliance has a four star freezer that is suitable for the long-term storage of frozen food items. It can also be used for freezing and storing fresh food items.
You should always follow the storage guidelines printed on each food producers packaging, however the following information is provided as a general guide for the maximum storage life of frozen items:
Fresh Meat and Poultry – up to 12 months Cooked Meats – up to 2 months Fresh Fish – up to 6 months Fruit and Vegetables – up to 12 months Bread and Cakes – up to 6 months

3.4. Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped
the appliance.
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.
4.5. Changing the Interior Light Bulb
- Switch off the power supply to the appliance
- Remove the light cover (squeeze/unclip or unscrew from housing)
10
- Unscrew the bulb from the rear of the light unit.
- Replace the bulb with a suitable replacement (check the wattage shown

4.6. What to do if something goes wrong
There is no power to the appliance:
- Check there is not a power cut
- Check there is power to the electric socket/
appliance

The compressor runs continuously:
- Is the door closed correctly?
- Have large quantities of food recently been added to the appliance? – if
yes, allow the interior temperature to recover
- Has the appliance door been opened frequently? – if yes, allow the interior temperature to recover
The appliance is making a noise:
- Refer to Normal Operating Sounds, section 3.4.
- Ensure that the appliance has been installed correctly (see section 1).
