other reason, then the cut off plug should be disposed of safely, do not insert the cut off
plug into a mains outlet to prevent the hazard of electric shock. Remove the fuse before

Getting to know your Refrigerator

Before use
Please read these instructions carefully before using your new Refrigerator.
The Refrigerator is for indoor and domestic use only.

Installation

Location

When selecting a position for your Refrigerator, you should make sure the floor is flat and
firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C
and 32°C. Avoid locating your Refrigerator near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or
radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in lean-to’s or sun lounges. If you are placing your
Refrigerator in an out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that the Refrigerator is
placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Refrigerator
cabinet. Never place the Refrigerator in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture.
When your Refrigerator is working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides
warm. It must therefore be installed so that there is 10cm of free space at the sides. There
is a built in air flow grille at the back of the Refrigerator top cover to ensure the correct
distance from the rear wall. The Refrigerator door can either open to the right or the left,
depending on the location which suits you. Do not drape the Refrigerator with any
covering.

Leveling the Refrigerator

Once the Refrigerator is put in its final location, make sure it is level. To do this use the two
leveling feet at the front of the Refrigerator. If the Refrigerator is not level, the doors and
magnetic seal alignments will be affected.

Cleaning before use

Wipe the inside of the Refrigerator with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse
with warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing
the shelves and baskets. You could clean the Refrigerator externally with wax polish.

Before plugging in YOU MUST

Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the
Refrigerator. If not, see the section called ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.

Before switching on

DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTILTWO HOURS AFTER MOVING THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerant fluid needs time to settle.

Before using your Refrigerator

Before placing any food in your Refrigerator, turn the Refrigerator on and wait for 24 hours,
to make sure it is working properly and to allow the Refrigerator to fall to the correct
temperature.

Using your Refrigerator

Switching on your Refrigerator
1 Before connecting the Refrigerator to the mains supply make sure that the Thermostat

Control Dial located inside the Refrigerator compartment next to the internal light, is set 4.5,
which is the correct setting for use in a room of average temperature.
2 Wait 24 hours before placing food in the cabinet to allow for the Refrigerator to fall to the
correct temperature.
