Refrigerant Gas Information
IMPORTANT: This appliance is provided with refrigerant
gas, ISOBUTHANE (R600a). When moving the appliance
take care to ensure that it is not excessively struck or
shaken. Failure to do so could damage the appliance.
Damage to the refrigerating circuit, with possible leaking of
refrigerating gas, could create a risk of explosion caused by
external sparks or ames.
In the Event of Accidental Leakage
Allow the material to evaporate providing that adequate
ventilation is provided.
Behaviour of the Gas
This refrigerant gas is highly ammable so do not allow the
gas to come into contact with hot surfaces or naked ames.
Gas R600a is heavier than air: if released it forms a high
concentration at oor level where ventilation is poor.
First Aid
Inhalation
Take the exposed person from the polluted area and carry
them to a warm, well ventilated place.
Long exposure can cause the onset of asphyxia and
possible loss of consciousness. If necessary, practice articial
respiration, and in the most serious cases, administer oxygen
under close medical supervision.
Skin Contact
It is unlikely that occasional contact with the skin is
dangerous. If this should happen thoroughly wash the
aected zone.
Liquid splashes and atomised liquid can cause freezing burns.
Wash the aected part with plenty of water and call a doctor
to treat any burns.
Eye Contact
Wash with plenty of water, with eyelids well open, and call a
specialist doctor as soon as possible.
In any event, should you inhale or come into contact with
R600a gas, we advise you to consult your own doctor.

About the Fresh Food Compartment
It is recommended to leave storage space between the
foods for good cold air circulation. The temperatures in the
refrigerator are slightly warmer near the top and colder near
the base. Suggestions for storage (Fig.2.2):
1. Eggs, butter, cheese, etc.
2. Tins, cans, condiments, etc.
3. Drinks and all kinds of bottled foods.
4. Pickled foods, drinks or cans.
5. Meat, poultry, sh and raw foods.
6. Flour foods, cans, dairy, etc.
7. Cooked meats, sausage, etc.
8. Fruits, vegetables or salads.
Shelves
The height of the shelves can be adjusted to t your storage
needs.
The shelves will not pull out accidentally when you remove
foodstu from the appliance.
When adjusting the height of the shelf, rst remove any
food placed on the shelf. Tilt the front upwards so that the
restraining pegs are clear of the side guides (Fig.2.3) and pull
towards you. Keep the shelf tilted to allow the retaining stops
to clear the side guides.
When repositioning, make sure the shelf is pushed back fully
and the retaining stops have located securely.
Make sure that the two sides of the shelf are in level
positions otherwise food may drop o.
Crisper
The refrigerator has two drawers for storing fruits, vegetables
and/or deli products.
Removing the Crisper Drawers and Shelf
To remove one of the crisper drawers, pull it out fully and lift
it o the glide-out runners (Fig.2.4). The drawer will ‘pop’ out
of the runner.
To avoid accidents, make sure to push the runners
fully back.
To ret one of the drawers, pull the runners fully out. Locate
the rear drawer tabs to the rear of the runner. Extend the
runners further using the small grips and then locate the
drawer back into the runner tabs (Fig.2.5).

Full Width Pantry with Humidity Control
The refrigerator is specially designed to include a full
width pantry with humidity control which can be adjusted
depending on the type of food to be stored.
Slide the humidity control (Fig.2.7) to the right to increase
the humidity inside. In doing this, the crisper is suitable for
storing cucumbers, grapes, oranges, apples, peaches, lettuce
and other produce with a high moisture content.
Slide the humidity control (Fig.2.7) to the left to reduce the
humidity inside. This is suitable for storing meats, cheeses,
onions and other drier foods.
Bottle Rack Height Adjustment
Hold both sides of the bottle rack then lift and pull it straight
out for cleaning or to change location (Fig.2.8).
After cleaning, the bottle rack can be installed in the reverse
manner, and the position can be adjusted according to the
height of the food to be stored.
When adjusting the height of the bottle rack, it is
better to house the dairy bin above the bottle rack.
About the Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment consists of upper and lower
drawers.
The upper freezer drawer (Fig.2.9) is arranged to load ice
cubes in a tray on the left-hand side and either more ice or
frequently frozen and frequently used foods on the righthand side of the drawer.
The lower deep freeze drawer (Fig.2.10) is for longer duration
freezing.
Note: Do not pull the freezer drawers with too much force as
food may fall out. Do not overpack the drawer otherwise food
will fall out when opening too fast.
Using the Ice Maker
Ice Maker Principles:
The ice maker tray periodically receives an automatic ow of
water to the ice maker ice cube tray. Once the water freezes
a sensor on the tray recognises cubes have been made and
automatically twists the tray to drop the ice cubes into the
ice bucket. The capacity of the ice maker depends on the
ambient temperature, frequency of the freezer door openings
and freezer compartment cooling temperature setting.
Typical ice harvest is 1.8 kg per day.
Note: After rst plugging in your refrigerator, it typically takes
24 hours to make your rst batch of ice cubes.
If This is Your First Ice Maker
Occasionally you may hear sounds, like the owing of water
or ice cubes dropping. These sounds are quite normal and are
not a cause for concern or complaint. In periods of infrequent
use ice cubes may stick together; again this is quite normal.

If You Do Not Use Ice Too Often
Older ice cubes can get stale. Clean the ice container
periodically using warm water. Before putting it back, dry it
well so that the cubes do not stick to the surfaces.
If You Do Not Use the Ice Container For Long Periods of
Time:
If you will not be using the ice container for a long time,
throw out the remaining ice cubes, wash the container with
warm water, dry it with a towel and place back in the fridge.
Close the water supply to the ice maker (see ‘Closing the Water
Supply to the Ice Maker’).
Note: When opening the upper freezer drawer, avoid rapid
pull out which can cause the ice cubes to fall into the lower
deep freeze drawer.
When the ice maker is dropping ice into the ice
container, a signal of circling dashes appears on the
dispenser screen. It is recommended the user waits
for the ice cubes to drop before opening the top
freezer drawer.

Tips on Storing Fresh Food
• Make sure that foods, which have been cooked and
require chilling, are at room temperature before placing
them into the appliance. Make sure that these foods are
stored in suitable containers.
• Foods stored in the refrigerator should be cleaned and
dried before storing.
• Before foods are put into the refrigerator, it is
recommended that the foods should be pressurised,
so that the water cannot vaporise, and the fruits and
vegetables keep fresh and food smells will not mix.
• Stored foods can be marked in bags.
• Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the
shelf.
• Make sure that foodstuffs are stored systematically (raw
meats with raw meats, dairy with dairy) to avoid flavour
transfer and cross contamination. Raw meats should be
stored towards the bottom of the appliance to prevent
the possibility of it dripping onto uncooked food. Other
foods should be stored above raw meat.
• When storing food in the fresh food section always
make sure there is adequate space for airflow
circulation. This helps to maintain the shelf life of the
food.
• When storing food in the refrigerator make sure that
foods are not too close to the rear wall to avoid the risk
of freezing.
• It is suggested for radishes and other root vegetables to
trim the leaves. This keeps the nutrition in the root and
not absorbed by the leaves.
• Put frozen foods into the fresh food area to let them
defrost. The low temperature of the refrigerator reduces
the formation of bacteria and extends food life.
• Some foods like onions, garlic, bananas and root
vegetables are better stored at room temperature than
in the fridge.
• Melon, pineapples and bananas can go directly into the
freezer after preparing, for storage over a longer period.
• Packaging fresh foods properly, using the correct
temperature and taking into account food hygiene, will
enhance the quality of fresh foods stored within this
appliance.
• Use plastic bags, aluminium foil or other food wraps to
cover fresh foods not in packaging to prevent flavour
transfer and prevent contamination.
• Before storing items in multi-packs (i.e. yoghurt) remove
any excess packaging.
NEVER store anything that is ammable, volatile or
explosive inside the appliance.
• Beverages with high alcohol content should be stored
vertically in tightly sealed bottles.
• Delicate foods should be stored in the coolest part of
the appliance.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to make sure that foods remain
suitably cold; try to avoid freezing within the fridge.
Using a thermometer will help you to judge how cool
the appliance is. Place it into a glass of water and leave
it inside the appliance for several hours to get a reliable
reading.
• Some foods contain natural oils and acids (e.g. citric
acid) which can damage plastics if spilled – make sure
these foods are suitably contained.
• Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that
something has spilled and cleaning is required. Using
warm water with bicarbonate of soda will clean the
interior of the appliance and remove most spillages (see
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).
• Always remember to remove perishable foods from this
appliance before taking prolonged trips of holidays.
3. Food Storage Tips
Page 12

Tips on Freezing Food
• As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct
temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality
of the food you are freezing.
• Avoid putting hot foods into the freezer. First let them
cool until they reach room temperature.
• Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high
quality, and suitable for freezing.
• Use packaging material that is odourless and airproof
(such as plastic bags) to store food in so different foods
can be mixed without affecting the quality. Make sure
that it is airtight. Leaking packaging will dehydrate the
products and lead to loss of beneficial vitamins.
• Keep the surface of the packaging dry – this keeps the
packs from freezing together.
• Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the
date of storage.
• Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to
freeze small portions whenever possible and ensure
that they are as cold as possible before storage. The
recommended maximum weight for each portion is
2.5 kg.
• Keep food which is fresh away from food which is
already frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every
day, make sure that it is in small portions to prevent this.
• Do not exceed the maximum load for freezing – which is
given as 10 kg / 24-hours (see data badge for details).
• Write the expiry date and food names on the outside of
the packaging so you can be assured of the food type
and when it is safe to eat.
• Take food from the freezer to defrost when needed.
Defrosted food cannot be refrozen unless it is cooked.
• Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once.
This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling capacity (see
‘Technical Data’).
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these
guidelines:
• Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length
of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these
guidelines!
• Try to keep the length of time between purchase and
storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.
• Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a
temperature of –18 °C or below.
• Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the
packaging – This indicates that the products might have
been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point –
temperature rises affect the quality of food.
• Should there be a power cut, or the freezer /
refrigeration appliance fail for any length of time you
may need to remove food from the freezer and store
in a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage or out house area)
until the power is restored, or the appliance is repaired.
• To prevent undue temperature rises you should wrap
the foods in layers of insulating material, such as
newspaper, to help to maintain their temperature. It is
also important that any food affected by this situation
should be either consumed or cooked and refrozen
(where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent
health risks.
• Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep
foods cold while you are defrosting the freezer (see
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).

Positioning Your Appliance
Choosing the Right Location
This appliance should be installed in a room that is dry
and well ventilated. To ensure adequate ventilation, the
refrigerator should be at least 15 mm clear on all sides
from kitchen cabinetry (Fig.4.1). Any units placed above
the appliance must be clear by 15mm to allow sucient
ventilation.
If locating the refrigerator close to a corner, sucient spacing
must be left for opening the doors and removing the shelves
(Fig.4.2).
This appliance should be at least 100 mm from any electric
or gas cooker and 300 mm from any coal or oil stove. If this is
not possible, ensure that appropriate insulation is used.
Avoid exposing the appliance to direct sunlight, and sources
of heat (such as radiators, heaters or cookers).
If this appliance is situated in a cold environment (such as
a shed, outhouse or garage) it will aect its performance.
You may nd that the performance of the appliance is not
consistent and this may damage foods. A consistent ambient
temperature of 10 °C or above is recommended.
Removing and Installing the Doors and
Drawers
In the event that you need to remove the
refrigerator doors, please follow the door removal

Electrical Supply Connection
Connect the appliance to the electrical supply (220-240V ~
50Hz) with the plug and lead, which are tted.
Connections to the mains supply should be in accordance
with local regulations.
The appliance must be plugged into an earthed
socket.
Always make sure that the plug is accessible after
the appliance has been positioned.
Water Supply Connection
It is recommended to have this product installed by
a qualied technician.
Cut the water pipe according to need and avoid bending the
water pipe too much. Usually, the pipe length should be less
than 5 m. If the water pipe is too long, the ice and cold water
content will be aected because there may be insucient
water pressure.
Insert one end of the water supply pipe into the water inlet
on the rear of the appliance (Fig.4.10).
Connect the other end into the plastic adaptor. Screw the
adaptor onto a suitable ¾” check valve or washing machine
valve.
The water pressure should be between 207-827 kPa
(21-123 psi) for correct operation of the cold water dispenser
and ice maker.
Open the water valve to ush the pipe, check leakage in the
water pipe joints and allow the water to run until it is clear.
The water pipe cannot withstand heat. Keep it away from all
heat sources.
Before rst use, press the water dispenser pad several times
for 1 minute. Do not press for more than 1 minute to prevent
overheating of the pad activator solenoid. Cold water will
begin to ow from the outlet.
The water lter is there to lter impurities in the water, and to
make ice clean and hygienic. It cannot sterilise or destroy
anything, so be certain to connect the water pipe to a
drinkable water source.
• To prevent the pipe from freezing, do not install the
water pipe in a space below 0 °C.
When the temperature of the ice maker is equal to or below
–15 °C the ice maker will begin to make ice.
• Throw out the first few batches of ice cubes if you are
making ice for the first time or have not made it for a
long time.
• After the refrigerator is installed, put the water supply
pipe in a suitable place to prevent crushing and
damage.
• If the cubed ice becomes smaller, this may suggest that
the filter is blocked from the impurities.

Defrosting
Defrosting is done automatically so there is no need to
manually defrost this appliance.
DO NOT use mechanical devices to accelerate the
defrosting process.
Cleaning
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
before cleaning.
To keep internal odours to a minimum it is best to periodically
clean the inside shelves, crispers, bins and wall.
Empty the appliance of food and remove the shelves.
Clean the interior using warm water and bicarbonate of soda
with a soft cloth. Make sure that the interior is then dried
carefully with a suitable cloth.
DO NOT use harsh abrasives, or aggressive cleaners
as these can damage the interior of the appliance.
Shelves and other accessories (plastic and glass parts) can be
cleaned in the sink using liquid dishwashing liquid and warm
water. Make sure all soap is rinsed o and all parts are dry
before replacing them inside the appliance.
Always keep the door seals clean.
The fridge is heavy. When moving the refrigerator
be careful to protect the oor. Keep the refrigerator
vertical and do not tilt the refrigerator – this
prevents damage to the oor.
DO NOT spray or rinse the fridge with water or other
liquids. This could harm the electrical parts.
Use a dry cloth when cleaning near the electrical
parts (such as the light bulb or switch).
DO NOT clean the fridge with a sti or wire brush.
DO NOT use an organic solvent such as detergent,
petrol, lacquer, thinners, acetone or acid.
To prevent your skin sticking to cold steel parts,
make sure your hands are not wet when touching
the parts.
DO NOT use HOT water to clean the glass shelves, as
they may break or crack.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
Shutting Off the Refrigerator
In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for
about 3 hours.
Should there be a prolonged power cut you may need to
remove food from the freezer compartment and store it in
a cold place, wrapped in layers of newspaper to preserve
suitable temperatures.
Once power is restored replace the food back into the freezer
compartment.
Should food begin to defrost, or the power cut last longer
than expected, it is advised that you consume any food
removed from the freezer.
If the power outage is short term, most foods can be left
inside the freezer compartment – this is the best way of
preserving temperature – and surrounded by ice cubes from
the icebox. This is also an ideal solution for power outages
you may have been pre-warned about.
When experiencing a power cut of any kind, do not add any
extra foods to the freezer.
When Not in Use
If you are not using the appliance for an extended length
of time, it is recommended that you switch o the electrical
supply, empty any food out, clean the inside of the appliance
and leave the door ajar. This will save energy, and also prevent
a build up of stale odours inside.
The Light
The LED interior lights come on when the door is opened.
The performance of the light is not aected by any of the
appliances other settings.
Water Filter
To maintain water quality, the lter will need replacing from
time to time. We recommend that the water lter is replaced
every 2 years. However, if the water quality show signs of
deterioration, either visually or in taste, then the lter should
be changed sooner.
