IMPORTANT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The space in the room where the appliance is installed must not be smaller than
10 cubic metres.

2. See pages 13 to 23 for detailed Installation Instructions including reversing door

opening direction.

3. This appliance has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 38
degrees C (100 degrees F) and is equipped with Freezer Guard technology which

ensures that even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food in the
freezer does not thaw thanks to this. 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:

SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER

Arrangement Examples (See diagram)

7

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 rated and suitable for the freezing and

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.

should not be consumed too cold.

9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C.

Therefore 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.

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.
