Control Panel
The appliance controls are located in the top panel inside the refrigerator compartment.
Thermostat Control
The freezer and fridge thermostats control the temperature inside the freezer and refrigerator respectively.
1. The Freezer Temperature Control
The freezer temperature control, regulates the temperature within the freezer compartment. A change in the
control setting in the freezer compartment could affect
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment under
certain circumstances.
7 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
3. ON/OFF Button
To switch the appliance on or off, press the
ON/OFF button continuously for 3 seconds. When
the appliance is switched on, the ON/OFF button
and the Freezer and Fridge control knobs will be
illuminated.
4. The Door Alarm
If either of the doors are left open, the door alarm
will sound and the alarm button will flash red. Press
the alarm button to switch off the alarm, the light
will stop flashing but will remain red. To switch off
the alarm and the light shut the doors.
5. Temperature Alarm
If the internal temperature inside the appliance is
too high for the safe storage of frozen food, an
alarm will sound and the temperature alarm button
light will start to flash. The temperature may rise for
the following reasons:
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
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 settings, allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stablise before making further
changes.
2. The Fridge Temperature Control
The fridge temperature control regulates the temperature within the fridge compartment, by regulating the
cold airflow. An intermediate setting is usually the most
suitable, although some experimentation may be
necessary to obtain the correct temperature.
5 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
Standby
The doors have been left open
There has been a power failure
A large quantity of food has been added to the
appliance.
The thermostat controls may be incorrectly set.
There is a fault.
To switch off the alarm, press the alarm button. The
audible signal will stop. The light will stop flashing,
but will remain on until the internal temperature has
reached the correct storage temperature for frozen
food.
6. Fast Freeze Button
Press the fast freeze button approximately 3 hours
before freezing fresh food. Once the food is frozen,
switch off the fast freeze function by pressing the
fast freeze button. The fast freeze function will self
cancel after 36 hours.
Turn the control knob to the standby position if you
wish to switch off the fridge, but leave the freezer in
operation (for example, when on holiday). Leave the
doors shut when in Standby operation.

Using the Appliance
This appliance is designed for domestic
use only, specifically for storage of edible
foodstuffs.
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 10°C
(50°F) and 32°C (90°F).
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance may not operate correctly.
Before Use
Remove all transit packaging.
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water
with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre
of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell
may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or products containing alcohol.
Starting the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains
supply. Press the ON/OFF button continuously for 3
seconds. The appliance will start operating after a 4
minute delay and the internal light will switch on.
The ON/OFF button will illuminate green and the
Freezer and Fridge control knob surrounds light up.
The temperature alarm (a beeping sound) may
come on during the start up phase. If this happens
push the temperature alarm button.
3. Set the thermostat controls for the fridge and freezer compartments. See Control Panel section.
Freezing Fresh Food
The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in
24 hours shown on the rating plate and in the technical specifications section of this instruction book.
When freezing fresh foods, press the fast freeze
button 3 hours before placing the food into the freezer compartment.
When the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze
function. The fast freeze function will self cancel
after 36 hours.
The Temperature alarm may sound if a lot of new
food is put into the freezer, due to a rise in temperature. The alarm will switch off automatically, as
the freezer temperature drops. Push the alarm button to switch off the audible signal.
Frozen Food storage
The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder
allowing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.
Pre packed commercially frozen food should be
stored in accordance with the manufacturers instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and
should be put in the freezer as soon as possible
after purchase. Your freezer provides for long-term
storage which generally means up to 3 months but
the length of the time can vary and it is important to
follow the recommended times shown on packets
of commercially frozen food.
Refrigerator Compartment
This compartment is designed to store drinks and
fresh food. The inner temperature is normally uniform and is kept cool by cold circulating air. Try to
avoid putting food products flush against the air
vents at the back of the fridge as this could cause
the foods to freeze.
4. To ensure safe food storage, allow the appliance to
operate with the doors closed for at least 3 hours,
before loading with food.
Freezer Compartment
The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder
allowing for long-term frozen food storage and freezing
of fresh food.
Chill Compartment
The temperature is kept typically at 1-2 degrees
lower than the average temperature in the fridge.
Use the compartment for foods that are marked
typically for storage at 0-5°C for longer preservation. Adjusting the fridge temperature to cooler or
warmer affects the chiller temperature in the same
way. Avoid stacking large amounts of warm food on
top of already cold food, as this will raise the temperature of the food previously stored in the chiller.
Do not use the chiller, as a zone for rapid cooling at
it is not designed for this.
