Control panel
A - Pilot light
B - Thermostat control knob
To Start the Appliance
Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after
installation.
Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains
supply. Turn the thermostat control (B) to a midway
setting (3-4) and adjust the slider control, situated on
the back wall of the fridge section, to a midway
position between “MIN” and “MAX”. The pilot light (A)
will light up. Leave the appliance for approximately 4
hours for the correct temperature to be reached
before placing food inside.
To switch off the appliance turn the thermostat
control to position “
●”
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the appliance is regulated by
a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an
“OFF” (●) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
position.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable (3-4).
The thermostat control knob regulates the
temperature both within the fridge and the freezer
compartment. The thermostat setting can vary as the
temperature inside the appliance depends on the
following factors:
– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance

Important
After completion of the door reversing operation,
check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If
the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the
gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that
case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part
involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.

Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; cover
or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in
polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
the salad drawers.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the salad drawers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.

MIN MAX
COOL FLOW CONTROL
Use of an air circulation slider
control - COOL FLOW CONTROL
Your appliance has an air circulation slider control
situated at the rear of the fridge compartment, which
controls the amount of cold air circulated through the
fridge compartment.
When the ambient temperature is between 10°C and
16°C, the slider control should be in the “MIN”
position.
When the ambient temperature is above 16°C the
slider control should be midway between “MIN” and
“MAX”.
When the ambient temperature is very high (i.e. hot
summer days) position the slider control to “MAX”.

Warning
If using the appliance with the salad drawer
removed, please ensure the vent in the back wall of
the appliance is not obstructed.
Positioning the inner shelves
The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that
shelves can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie
over the rear ones.
Positioning the door shelves
The door shelves can be easily removed for
cleaning. Gently ease the shelf in the directions
shown.
Adjustment of the door shelves can be made to
accommodate varying heights of bottles and other
containers. Store light items such as small cartons
and jars on the door shelves. The bottle shelf can be
used for the storage of heavier bottles.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location
where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate classification indicated on the rating plate,
which is located at the left on the inside of the
appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature
is correct for each climate classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct
sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not
next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g.
an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below
10°C (50°F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e.
colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate
correctly.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There
must also be at least 100 mm (4”) distance between
the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen
furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be
positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).
There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of
the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath.
Rear spacers
The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation
also contains two spacers to be fitted into special
holes in the back of the appliance.
Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure
that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the
diagram. Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A)
vertical) until they lock into place.
DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet
using your fingers or a tool (see figure).
