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 ensuring 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.

ON ALARM
About the Fresh Food Compartment
5
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.
1. Shelves
The shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots within the
interior of the appliance. They are protected from sliding out.
To remove a shelf
When adjusting the height of a shelf, rst remove
any food placed on the shelf.
Lift the front of the shelf and carefully pull it out of the
grooves.
2. Defrost Water Outlet
The interior of the refrigerator is cooled by the cooling plate
that is on the rear wall. Beneath this there is a channel and an
outlet for the defrost water.
6
It is important that this channel never becomes clogged (see
‘The defrost drain hole’ section for a detailed explanation of
how to keep the channel clear).
3. Bottle Holder
The bottle holder is intended for storing larger bottles (soft
drinks, water, etc.) inside the fridge.
The bottle holder maximum load is 10kg.
WARNING: Always make sure that large bottles do
not prevent the door from closing.
4. Crisper Drawers and Cover
The crisper drawers are in the bottom of your refrigerator and
there is a cover that goes over them.
The cover helps to prevent fruit and vegetables from drying
out prematurely.
5. Upper Door Shelves
The door liner holds various shelves, which are suitable for
storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt. They are also suitable
for smaller packages such as tubes, cans, etc.
6. Bottle Shelf
The lower shelf should be used for storing reasonably sized
bottles.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload the shelves that sit in the
door, as this will drastically reduce their working life.
The Light
The interior light comes on when the door is opened.
The performance of the light is not a ected by any of the
appliances other settings.

About the Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment consists of four drawers (Fig.2-3).
As with the refrigerator, certain areas of the freezer are better
for storage of certain foods.
Ice creams and water ices are best stored towards the rear of
the appliance where it is coldest.
Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for
roasting are best stored in the drawers at the bottom of the
appliance, while less weighty items should be stored on the
shelves: this is to prevent damage to the appliance.
You should always make sure that food stored is suitable
for freezing and that you have stored it securely inside the
appliance.
Defrosting food for cooking
Should food become partially thawed, or defrosted it should
be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be
a ected by defrosting.
Always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. This
is especially important for poultry, as this can be
extremely harmful to health.
Fig.2-3
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging when
defrosting ready meals: manufacturers’ guidelines are always
best, as some frozen foods should be cooked from frozen.

Fridge-Freezer Settings
Adjusting the Fresh Food Temperature
The thermostat control knob is located on the right-hand side
of the control panel.
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside of the fridge-freezer, depending on what setting you
have turned the thermostat control knob to:
Fig.2-7
You should turn the thermostat dial clockwise.
If the arrow is positioned to the smaller dots, then you will get
a higher temperature inside the fridge and freezer sections
(Fig.2-5).
If the arrow is positioned to the larger dots, then you will get
a lower temperature inside the fridge and freezer sections
(Fig.2-6).
Ideally the arrow should be set to the midway position
(Fig.2-7).
• The refrigerator can maintain a temperature of between
4-6 °C.
• The freezer section can cool down to –18 °C and lower.
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the
temperature of the food and the amount of food that has
been placed in the appliance and how often the door is
opened, will all aff ect the temperature being maintained by
the appliance.
On the maximum setting, the fridge-freezer will work
harder to maintain a lower temperature. There is no need
to run the appliance on this setting for long periods and
you should return the thermostat knob to the midway
position.
