ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
1- Ensure your appliance is installed in  
a well ventilated area.  
2- Ensure the time between buying  
chilled/frozen food and placing them  
in your appliance is kept at minimum,  
particularly in summer. We recommend  
you use a cool bag or a special carrier  
bag to carry frozen food.  
3- Do not leave the door (s) of your  
appliance open longer than necessary  
and ensure they are closed properly  
after each opening.  
4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge  
compartment, so that frozen food acts  
as an ice pack to assist cooling in the  
fridge.

4 Before operating  
Final Check  
Before you start using the fridge/  
freezer check that:  
8. “Do not load the appliance  
immediately it is switched on. Wait  
until the correct storage temperature  
has been reached. We recommend  
that you check the temperature  
with an accurate thermometer (see;  
Temperature Control and Adjustment)”  
9. When the freezer reaches the  
desired temperature the freezer fan will  
stop. When the freezer fan is on, the  
noise will be louder when the freezer  
door is opened.  
10. Avoid spillage of food particularly  
small items like rice, peas, beans  
through the fan guard as they may  
cause the cooling system to block and  
therefore operate less efficiently.  
1. The feet have been adjusted for  
perfect levelling.  
2. The interior is dry and air can  
circulate freely at the rear of the  
cabinet.  
3. Clean the interior as recommended  
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”  
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket  
and switch on the electricity supply.  
• When the door is open the fridge  
interior light will come on.  
5. You will hear a noise as the  
compressor starts up. The liquid and  
gases sealed within the refrigeration  
system may also give rise to noise,  
whether the compressor is running or  
not which is quite normal.  
“Due to operation of the fan inside  
the frost free freezer compartment,  
overall noise level is slightly higher  
in comparison to non-frost free  
appliances. This is quite normal and is  
not a fault.”  
6. Set the setting knob half way  
between min and max.  
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel  
warm. This is normal. These areas  
are designed to be warm to avoid  
condensation.

5 Using your refrigerator  
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND  
Remember you must take your reading  
very quickly since the thermometer  
temperature will rise very rapidly after  
you remove it from the freezer.  
ADJUSTMENT  
Please remember each time the door  
is opened cold air escapes and the  
internal temperature rises. Therefore  
never leave the door open and ensure  
it is closed immediately after food is  
put in or removed.  
Operating temperatures are controlled  
by the setting knob (see diagram)  
located on the ceiling of fridge  
compartment. Settings may be made  
from min, 1 ... 6, max, max being the  
coldest position.  
If the ambient (room or garage)  
temperature is between 0 °C and  
-15 °C, we recommend you adjust  
the knob to setting 4 to reach -18 C  
in the freezer compartment. Lower  
temperatures may be obtained by  
adjusting setting knob towards max  
position.  
When the appliance is switched on  
for the first time, the setting knob  
should be adjusted so that after 24  
hours, the average fridge temperature  
is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We  
recommend you set the knob half  
way between the min and max setting  
and monitor to obtain the desired  
temperature i. e. towards max you will  
obtain a colder fridge temperature and  
vice versa. Some sections of the fridge  
may be cooler or warmer ( such as the  
salad crisper and the top part of the  
cabinet ) which is quite normal.  
The normal storage temperature of the  
freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower  
temperatures may be obtained by  
adjusting setting knob towards max  
position.  
We recommend that you check  
the temperature with an accurate  
thermometer to ensure that the  
storage compartments are kept to the  
desired temperature.

raw meat for two to three days.  
7. Keep the food packed wrapped  
or covered. Allow hot food and  
beverages to cool before placing them  
in the fridge. Do not store explosive  
substances. High proof alcohol must  
be stored upright in sealed containers.  
Left over canned food should not be  
stored in the can.  
6. Frozen food .

8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen  
and products such as flavoured water  
ices should not be consumed too cold.  
9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer  
damage if kept at temperatures near  
0°C. Therefore wrap pineapples,  
melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and  
similar produce in polythene bags.  
10. Place chilled cooked food and  
similar food near the rear of the fridge  
inner liner where the cold wall is  
located.  
11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins,  
drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all  
removable.  
12. Do not leave frozen food at room  
temperature to thaw; the best way to  
defrost food is to put it in the fridge  
to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid  
defrosting food or food juices drip onto  
other food.  
The following guidelines and  
recommendations are suggested to  
obtain the best  
results and storage hygiene.  
1. The fridge compartment is for the  
short term storage of fresh food and  
drinks.  
2. The freezer compartment is  
rated and suitable for the freezing  
and storage of frozen food. The  
recommendation for storage as  
stated on the food packaging should  
be observed at all times.  
3. Cooked dishes must be stored in  
airtight covered containers.  
4. Fresh wrapped produce can be  
placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and  
vegetables should be cleaned and  
stored in the crisper bins.  
13. For hygiene reasons, always  
wrap food using a suitable packaging  
material before storing in your  
appliance to avoid contact with the  
appliance surface.  
5. Bottles can be placed in the door  
section.

STORING FROZEN FOOD  
Placing warm food into the freezer  
compartment causes the refrigeration  
compressor to operate continuously  
until the food is frozen solid. This can  
temporarily lead to excessive cooling  
of the refrigeration compartment.  
Prepacked commercially frozen food  
should be stored in accordance  
with the frozen food manufacturers  
instructions for a frozen food storage  
compartment.  
When freezing fresh food turn the  
setting knob towards. Max small  
quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb)  
can be frozen without having to rotate  
the temperature control knob.  
To ensure that the high quality  
achieved by the frozen food  
manufacturer and the food retailer is  
maintained, the following should be  
remembered:  
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly  
as possible after purchase.  
2. Ensure that contents are labelled  
and dated.  
You may place fresh food to be frozen  
in any part of the freezer.  
Take special care not to mix already  
frozen food and fresh food.  
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best  
Before” dates on the packaging.  
If there is a power failure do not open  
the door. Frozen food should not be  
affected if the failure lasts for less than  
13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the  
food should be checked and either  
eaten immediately or cooked and then  
re-frozen.  
MAKING ICE CUBES  
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with  
water and place it in the Ice Bank.  
Loosen frozen trays with the handle  
of a spoon, never use sharp edged  
objects such as knives, forks. Store  
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.  
FREEZING FRESH FOOD  
Please observe the following structions Note: If freshly made ice cubes are  
to obtain the best results.  
not consumed for several weeks  
and stored in Ice Bank, they will  
slowly reduce in size and eventually  
disappear completely.  
Do not freeze too large a quantity at  
any one time. The quality of the food  
is best preserved when it is frozen  
right through to the core as quickly as  
possible.

DEFROSTING  
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT  
A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT  
The fridge compartment defrosts  
automatically. The defrosting water  
runs to the drain tube via a collection  
container at the back of the appliance  
(1). (see diagram) During defrosting  
water droplets may form at the back  
of the fridge compartment where  
concealed evaporator is located.  
Some droplets may remain on the  
liner and refreeze when defrosting is  
completed. Do not use pointed or  
sharp edged objects such as knives,  
forks to remove the droplets which  
have frozen.  
The freezer compartment operation  
is frost free and does not need  
defrosting.  
Warnings!  
The fan inside the freezer  
compartment circulates cold air. Never  
insert any object through the guard.  
Do not allow children to play with the  
freezer fan.  
Never store products that contain  
inflammable propellant gas (eg  
dispensers, spray cans etc.) or  
explosive substances.  
If at any time the defrost water does  
not drain from the collection channel,  
check to ensure that no food particles  
have blocked the drain tube. The drain  
tube can be cleared by pushing the  
special plastic plunger provided down  
the drain tube (2). If the frost layer  
reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce  
the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart  
automatic defrosting.  
Don’t cover the shelves with any  
protective materials, which may  
obstruct air circulation.  
Do not allow children to play with the  
appliance or tamper with the controls.  
Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard  
to ensure that you obtain the best  
possible performance from your  
appliance.
