IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all
before installing or using this appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure
about any of the meanings of these warnings contact the Customer Care Departement.

General Safety

■ This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by autho­rised technicians.

■ Take utmost care when handling your appli-

ance so as not to cause any damages to the
cooling unit with consequent possible fluid
leakages.

■ The appliance must not be located close to

radiators or boilers.

■ Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to

direct sunlight.

■ Do not use other electrical appliances (such

as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating
appliances.

During Use

■ This appliance is designed for domestic use only,

specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs
only. It is not intended for commercial or industrial
use.

■ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can

leak at low temperatures. Do not store any con­tainers with flammable materials, such as spray
cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc. in the
refrigerator.

Maintenance and Cleaning

■ Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance

and disconnect from the electrical supply.

■ When unplugging always pull the plug from the

mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

Servicing

■ This product should be serviced by an authorised

engineer and only genuine spare parts should be
used.

■ Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service
Force Centre.

At the end of the Appliance Life

■ When disposing of your appliance use an autho-

rised disposal site.

■ Remove the plug and ensure that any locks or

catches are removed, to prevent young children
being trapped inside.

Prior to Installation

■ Check the appliance for transport damage. Under

no circumstance should a damaged appliance be
installed. In the event of damage please contact
your retailer.

Installation

■ This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken

when moving it.

■ It is dangerous to alter the specifications or

attempt to modify this product in any way.

■ Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the

electrical supply cable.
Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must
be replaced by authorized service or qualified per­sonnel using a special cable of the same type.

■ Any electrical work required to install this appli-

ance should be carried out by a qualified electri­cian or competent person.

■ Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Whenever possible, the back of the appliance
should be close to a wall, but leaving the required
distance for ventilation, as stated in the installa­tion instructions.

■ The appliance should be left for 2 hours after

installation before it is turned on, in order to allow
the refrigerant to settle.

Refrigerant

■ The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained

within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a
natural gas with a high level of environmental
compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.

■ During transportation and installation of the appli-

ance, be certain that none of the components of
the refrigerant circuit become damaged.

■ If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:

- avoid open flames and sources of ignition.

- thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appli­ance is situated.

Child Safety

■ Do not allow children to tamper with the controls

or play with the product.

■ There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging

material away from children!

OPERATION

Before use

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appli­ance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5
ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Do not use soap or detergent as the smell
may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) position.

Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,

although the temperature will be affected by:

l

Room temperature

l

How often the door is opened

l

How much food is stored

l

Position of the appliance

In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.

When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.

Important
During prolonged periods of abnormally

hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too
high a number, the cooling system may
operate continuously and the fridge cooling
plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a
lower number will cause the automatic
defrosting to resume.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
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 through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb, chicken or poultry): wrap
in polythene bags and place on top of the salad bin.

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 bottom salad bin.
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.

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with run­ners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.

The door shelves

Depending on your requirements, the movable stor­age shelf on the door can be moved sideways.

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and
the bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in the
directon of the arrows, then refitting them in position.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing
at the rear, to the cooling evaporator.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and
out.
