1. Introduction
Thank you for buying this high quality appliance, we hope
that it provides you with a stylish, yet practical solution to
your cooling needs. We hope that this handbook supplies you
with all the information you require, but please contact us if
there is any thing you are unsure of using the Customer Care
Centre number on page 15.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Always make sure a qualified person installs this
appliance.
The freezer compartment is rated at 4 stars.
Important!
Please be aware that this appliance is for domestic use only.
The right-hand side of this appliance is a refrigerator, and
should be used for storing fresh foods.
The left-hand side of this appliance is used for freezing fresh
foods and storing frozen foods (convenience meals etc.)
These instructions are intended for the user. They describe
the appliance and how to use it safely and correctly.
Before you start
• Before you plug the appliance into the mains, clean
the inside of the appliance using warm water and
bicarbonate of soda, then dry thoroughly.
• Please leave the appliance to stand for at least six hours.
This will allow the cooling system to settle following
transportation.
• Check that no parts of the appliance are damaged,
especially parts of the cooling system, pipes or leads.
If damage has occurred, DO NOT install the appliance,
you should contact a qualified service engineer or
return the appliance to its place of purchase.
• If the accessories inside the appliance have been
disturbed during transit, reposition them in accordance
with the instructions.
Make sure that the electrical supply to your plug socket is
correct for this appliance – The required information is on the
data badge of the appliance.
Once the appliance is installed, cleaned and dry, it is ready to
be plugged in and switched on.
Safety
The data badge is located inside the appliance (refrigeration
compartment).
WARNING: Use drinking water with this appliance.
WARNING: Keep this appliance clear of any
obstruction.
DO NOT damage the refrigerant circuit. If it does
become damaged, do not use the appliance.
WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices (i.e. hair
dryers) to defrost this appliance.
• When replacing old appliances, make sure that you
have disabled any locking mechanisms before disposal
– It may even be best to remove the appliance door
completely, to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside the appliance.
• The appliance must be connected to the power supply
safely. Loose connections, broken plugs and bare wires
are a safety hazard. Make sure that all connections are
sound.
• Before undertaking any routine maintenance or minor
repairs, disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply. This includes cleaning, defrosting and changing
light bulbs.
• Do not touch cold surfaces of the appliance while it is in
use as this will cause hands to stick to them leading to
freezer burns.
• When moving the appliance take care not to damage
the leads, pipes or condenser unit. Should these parts
become damaged, contact a qualified service engineer.
• Effervescent liquids (fizzy drinks) should never be
frozen. These liquids expand during freezing and
this may lead to the bottles/containers shattering or
exploding.
• Foods that are intended to be defrosted or cooked first
e.g. breads, meats etc., must not be eaten in their frozen
state.
• If food looks or smells strange, do not attempt to eat it.
If in doubt throw it away. Spoiled food can be harmful to
your health.
• Never use electrical devices, such as hair dryers, to
defrost this appliance.
• Never use sharp, metal implements to scrap ice off the
surface of this appliance. Only use implements, which
are fit for this purpose (i.e. plastic scrapers) and use
carefully to avoid damaging the lining of the appliance.
• The cooling system contains refrigerant and oils, all of
which are harmful to health if leaked. Should leakage
occur, disconnect the appliance and ventilate the room
it is installed in. Take care to ensure that you do not get
any coolant near to, or in, your eyes.
• Contact a service engineer or arrange to have the
appliance removed. Do not use the appliance under any
circumstances.

2. Positioning Your Appliance
Choosing the right location
This appliance should be installed in a room, which is dry and
well ventilated.
In order to ensure adequate ventilation, the appliance should
be at least 15 mm clear on all sides from kitchen cabinets,
and any units placed above the appliance must be clear by
15 mm – allowing adequate ventilation for the appliance. See
clearance diagram.
If this appliance is situated in a cold environment (shed, out
house, garage etc.) it will affect its performance. You may find
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.
Connection to the electricity supply
Connect the appliance to the electrical supply (220 – 240V ~
50Hz) with the plug and lead, which are fitted. Connections
to the mains supply should be in accordance with local
regulations.
This appliance will operate within a range of 187-
253V. Operation outside this range may result
in damage to the control panel, thermostat or
compressor, unless a regulator with a capacity of
750W, or higher, is installed.
15mm
If located close to a corner adequate spacing must be left for
door opening and removal of shelves. Refer to diagram.
This appliance should be 10 cm at least from any electric or
gas cooker and 30 cm from any coal or oil stove. If this is not
possible, ensure that appropriate insulation is used.
The appliance must be plugged into an earthed
socket.
• Always make sure that the plug is accessible after the
appliance has been positioned.
• The refrigerator is supplied with a standard three-pin
plug, of which the one for grounding should never be
removed.
Care for the external cable
• Hold the plug, not the electrical cable, when
unplugging the refrigerator.
• Ensure that the refrigerator does not trap the electric
cable.
• Do not step on the cable.
• Avoid damage to the electric cable when moving the
refrigerator.
Damaged electrical cable
When the electrical cable is damaged or worn, turn off the
refrigerator and consult an authorized agent for replacement.
If inflammable gas leaks in the vicinity of the
refrigerator
• Turn off any leaking valve.
• Open the doors and windows.
DO NOT under any circumstances unplug electrical
appliances in the vicinity of the leak.
Avoid exposing the appliance to direct sunlight, and sources
of heat (radiators, heaters, cookers, etc.).

Unplug the refrigerator when:
• Cleaning or maintenance
• Replacement of the lamp.
Adjustable feet
Make sure that the appliance is on solid level flooring. If the
refrigerator is placed on a plinth, flat, strong and fire resistant
materials must be used.
This appliance has front adjustable feet, which can be used to
level the appliance, or adjust door alignment.
Door adjustment
The doors may require some alignment adjustment before
you connect the appliance to the electricity supply. This can
be done by making minor adjustments to the feet:
If the freezer door height is lower than the refrigerator door,
use a screwdriver in the slots of the front left-hand adjustable
foot, turning clockwise until the freezer door height is raised
in line with the fridge door. If the freezer door is lower, adjust
the right-hand foot using the same method.
Door Handle Fitting
The door handles fix onto the mounting studs already fitted
to each door.
Use the M3 grub screws and Allen key from the instruction kit
bag. Each handle will require 3 grub screws.
1. Place the handle firmly over the mounting studs.
2. Insert the grub screw into the hole located under each
handle standoff bar.
3. Using the M3 Allen key, tighten the grub screw fixing
the handle to the door.
Do not over-tighten the grub screw.
