Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance.  
The internal surface of freezer compartment is very cold when the appliance is running. Do not touch the surface  
especially when hands are wet.  
Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places of high humidity that may have adverse effect on  
the electric insulation performance.  
This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures between 16 and 32 C. Use outside of this range may  
˚
cause the appliance to fail.  
Before first use  
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.  
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda  
and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior.  
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.  
The green power light and the red temperature warning light on the control panel will be lit when you have plugged  
the appliance in to the power supply. There will be an intermittent beep and the temperature warning light will remain

Use  
Fridge  
Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.  
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being  
put into the refrigerator.  
Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation  
problems which will be difficult to remove.  
Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.  
Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh  
and avoid unpleasant odours.  
Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent  
deterioration caused by the door being open for prolonged periods.  
Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.  
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.  
Freezer  
The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.  
Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.  
Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods  
should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date.  
Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of  
the food after thawing.  
Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.  
Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and dates of storage and expiry.  
Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been completely cooked. Only defrost as much food  
as is required to prevent wastage.  
Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment as they could explode.  
Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period.  
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

Care and cleaning  
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.  
The fridge and freezer sections should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Do not  
use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.  
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.  
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and the evaporating tray should be cleaned periodically to  
prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The drain plug can be used to clean the  
drain hole.  
Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.  
If the appliance is not to used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left  
slightly open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.  
Defrosting the fridge  
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.  
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back  
of the appliance.  
fig. 4  
Defrosting the freezer  
The freezer is frost free and as such is designed not to require defrosting.  
To switch off the compressor for a short period of time and so to force a defrost cycle, push and hold the Audio Alert  
Release / Force Defrost button for approximately five seconds. After 20 seconds, the defrosting process will begin.

Reversing the door  
We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the doors whilst performing this operation  
1. Carefully prise off the cover cap for the top hinge and unscrew the screws fixing the top hinge to the appliance, you  
should support the upper door whilst doing this.  
2. Carefully remove the upper door and place it somewhere safe. Note that there are spacers between the door and the  
hinge; note how many and their position.  
3. Remove the central hinge by removing the 3 screws fixing it to the appliance; support the lower door whilst doing this.  
4. Remove the lower door and place it somewhere safe, again noting the position of any spacer pieces.  
5. Swap the bottom hinge to the opposite side.  
6. Refit the lower door using any spacers and position the central hinge on the door. After removing the 3 cover caps, fix  
the hinge securely to the appliance.  
7. The top hinge and replacement cover hinge covers are included in the fittings pack. Refit the upper door and the new  
top hinge and fix it securely to the appliance.  
8. Fit the central cover caps and top hinge cover pieces in place to complete the process.  
Ensuring the door seals correctly:  
It is normal for the seal to be compressed after the door has been reversed.  
With the door closed, use a hair dryer to cause the seal to expand and fill the gap between the door and the body of the  
appliance.  
Take care not to use the hair dryer too close to the appliance, which could damage the seal. A distance of approximately 10 cm  
should be adequate.  
When completed, allow the seal and door to cool before touching them.  
Once done, the seal will remain in position.
